In New Jersey, businesses, particularly corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs), are required to file an annual report with the New Jersey Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services, which operates under the Department of the Treasury, often colloquially referred to in relation to the Secretary of State's office due to its filing oversight.
