If it is late

LLC. No late fee at all, but the LLC leaves good standing the day the report is late, which blocks it from contracting with the state. The charter is revoked only after 3 consecutive years unfiled, with 30 days notice first.

Corporation. No late fee. A corporation 90 days behind on its report gets at least 30 days written notice, after which the state terminates its existence.
