The annual statement after the first NY LLC filing
The initial disclosure or exemption attestation is followed by a recurring statement. It is distinct from the first filing and should have its own calendar entry.
What the official record says
Subdivision (g) names four categories: beneficial ownership disclosure information, the street address of the principal executive office, exempt-company status if applicable, and other information designated by the Department of State. Subdivision (b) separately says an exempt company is subject to this annual statement requirement in the form prescribed by the department and must attest under penalty of perjury. The statute does not turn the annual statement into a public owner directory; subdivision (f) makes natural-person beneficial-owner information confidential subject to listed exceptions.
What to check on the document
Keep the first transparency confirmation and annual confirmation together, but do not mix the sensitive portal data into an email workflow.
- Record the date and confirmation number for the initial disclosure or exemption attestation.
- Review changes to ownership information, principal executive office address, and exemption status before the annual filing.
- Use the Department of State form then in effect because the statute permits designated additional information.
How to use the result
The worksheet can turn the prior filing into a field-by-field change list. The owner should still enter owner identifiers and addresses directly in the DOS portal. If a change alters whether the LLC is exempt or reporting, that classification question may need counsel. Keep the completed state confirmation as the source for the next year’s comparison.
The worksheet maps the facts you provide to the words of LLC Law §1107 and marks any grey box for counsel. It does not decide a hard legal question. The filing belongs in the Department of State portal under the LLC owner’s control, with sensitive owner fields completed there rather than sent to us.
