Note: Alabama abolished the Secretary of State annual report. From 1 January 2024 it stopped being filed with the Business Privilege Tax return, and House Bill 230 removed the obligation altogether from 1 October 2024. The Business Privilege Tax also changed: for tax years beginning after 31 December 2023 there is a full exemption where the calculated tax is $100 or less, and a business under that threshold does not file a return at all. Since the BPT is computed on net worth, most owner-operated care businesses fall under it.
