When is the New Mexico Biennial Report Due?

New Mexico might have the most complicated report compliance policy of any state in America. I will try to explain. LLC's have no reports due. Non-profits have an annual report due every year on the 15th day of the fifth month after their fiscal close, so normally May 15th every year.

PROFIT CORPORATIONS HAVE A BIENNIAL REPORT. New Mexico profit corporations have an initial report due that will get mailed back to you with the completed initial filing. These are due within 30 days and have no affect on when your biennial reports are due.

The regular biennial reports are due on the 15th day of the 3rd month after fiscal close, or March 15th for 99% of businesses.

The biennial reports are due even years if the last digit of your New Mexico corporation filing number is even. They are due odd years, if the last digit is odd.

WHERE THIS GETS CONFUSING IS ON THE FIRST BIENNIAL REPORT. The New Mexico computer system HAS to go two years (Not true calendar years, but just numbers) before it will allow you to file your first biennial report. MEANING...Let's say you file 11-11-09 and get an even number on the last digit of your New Mexico corporation filing number. The system will think that the first even year is too soon (2010) and thus prompt the first year due at 3-15-2012.

THEN, your biennial cycle will stay a simple two years apart. This is the part that gets confusing for people sometimes. It only really gets confusing on the first biennial report.

the same procedure will happen year after year. So..let's say you file 11-20-2010 and you draw an odd last digit. It won't allow you to file 2011, so your first biennial report will be due 3-15-2013. Then 2015, etc.

So...If you're lucky enough to draw the right number, you'll get 3 years your first go.

NOW...the two year rule is not actual calendar days. It's just the year number.

If after reading this, it still doesn't make sense, you can do a name search for yourself. You'll see your SCC number (your corporation number) and then about 6 lines down, it will show you your good standing through date.
