Put your next deadline on the list
Tell us where to send your reminder. Do not submit account credentials or sensitive business records.
Free Florida deadline reminder emails can help you put annual-report preparation on the calendar before it becomes urgent. FileMyFlorida offers optional reminders for planning, not official state notices. We do not submit a report, monitor your Sunbiz account or know whether your company has already filed.
What the reminders cover
The focus is the Florida annual-report season for entities that have a report due. Sunbiz describes the regular filing season as January 1 through May 1. Our messages point you toward the current instructions and encourage an early record check rather than waiting for the last day.
| Point in the season | What the reminder is for | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Around January 1 | The regular annual-report window opens | Check whether your entity has a report due and review current Sunbiz instructions |
| Ahead of May 1 | Prepare and file before the regular deadline | Allow time to correct records, arrange payment and verify acceptance |
| Your own follow-up date | Confirm the task is actually complete | Save the receipt and inspect the accepted filing, rather than relying on the email |
These are planning milestones, not a promise that a message will arrive at a particular minute or a substitute for the agency’s current operating calendar. The Division of Corporations business guidance describes the standing January-to-May season. Its annual-report instructions control the current filing process.
Why the May 1 reminder matters
Under the current Sunbiz instructions, profit corporations and LLCs that file after May 1 face a $400 late fee. Nonprofit corporations are not subject to that late fee, but still have annual-report obligations. Do not confuse exemption from one charge with exemption from filing.
The annual-report deadline guide explains the regular deadline and the later administrative-dissolution risk. An email about May 1 is not an instruction to wait until then. Filing early leaves more time to deal with a wrong address, a missing document number, a signature issue or a payment problem.
For the upcoming season, do not assume that a weekend moves a deadline to Monday. No 2027-specific extension or payment cutoff is promised here. Check the agency’s published instructions when that season opens and use an earlier personal target date.
Who should sign up?
Owners, authorized managers and people responsible for the business calendar may find a general reminder useful. Use an email address you control and expect to keep. If several people manage the company, agree who will perform the filing and who will verify it, rather than assuming that everyone on a mailing list has handled the task.
A reminder cannot determine your first report year. If you recently formed a company, changed an effective date, registered an out-of-state entity or restored a dissolved entity, verify the actual report requirement. Read the annual-report requirements guide and check your entity record before treating a general seasonal message as an individual determination.
Our Sunbiz filing walkthrough can help with preparation. If the entity is already administratively dissolved or revoked, use the reinstatement guide to identify the right process instead of trying to solve every record problem with a regular annual report.
What signing up does not do
- It does not submit a report, reserve a company name, pay a state fee or keep an entity active.
- It does not enroll you in a government program or connect us to your Sunbiz account.
- It does not verify your entity’s status or mark you as filed when you click a link.
- It does not cover every tax, professional-license, insurance, local receipt or permit deadline.
- It does not order a future FileMaven service or authorize us to make certifications for you.
Use the business compliance calendar to keep separate deadlines in view. An annual report, an insurance renewal and a contractor-license renewal may involve different agencies and different dates. Do not give one reminder responsibility for all of them.
How to use the signup safely
- Enter the email address where you want the free reminder messages. Submit only information requested for the reminder.
- Use any confirmation step shown by the form or sent to your inbox. An uncompleted signup may not receive messages.
- Keep your own calendar entry even after signup, with a target earlier than the agency deadline.
- Open the official agency link in the guide when you are ready to file, and save the state’s confirmation.
- Unsubscribe when you no longer want the messages, or contact us if the address needs to change.
Do not submit Social Security numbers, account passwords, identity documents or payment information. The reminder form is not a filing portal. If a message looks suspicious, enter the agency website directly instead of sending credentials in a reply.
Privacy, delivery and unsubscribing
The signup is optional, and reading the site does not require an email address. We use signup information to administer the requested reminders, as explained in the privacy policy. Use the unsubscribe option in a reminder email or write to hello@filemyflorida.com to request removal.
Spam filters, provider outages, incorrect addresses and other issues can prevent delivery. We cannot guarantee that an email reaches you or that you see it. Review the terms of use and keep an independent deadline system. Questions about the website can go through our contact page.
Do reminders include done-for-you filing?
No. Done-for-you filing is coming soon from FileMaven, but the current signup is for free reminders only. There is no filing checkout here, no price quote and no guarantee of a service launch date. You can file directly through Sunbiz without purchasing private assistance.

Does signing up file my annual report?
