- First report
- In the anniversary quarter of the year after the year the articles took effect.
- Late penalty
- No separate statutory late fee. A Delinquent entity owes an additional $25 for each year it has been delinquent (DFI FAQ). This appears to mean each missed year's report fee.
Fee details: $25 online, $40 on paper ($15 paper surcharge). Due by the end of the calendar quarter of the formation anniversary, starting the year after formation. Not filing can lead to administrative dissolution.
If you miss a deadline

Getting reinstated: $100 state fee, plus any back reports, taxes and penalties.
Filing yourself, a Wisconsin LLC costs $155 in the first year and $25 a year after.
