If you are delinquent in filing your Hawaiʻi annual report(s), you can submit your filing onlineand a $10.00 late fee will be assessed per year delinquent.

The filing quarters are as follows: First quarter is January – March; Second quarter is April – June; Third quarter is July – September; Fourth quarter is October – December.
