Filer status is the label that sets how fast your 10-K and 10-Q clocks run. Large accelerated filers get the shortest windows; non-accelerated filers get the longest. The label is driven mainly by public float, with entry and exit thresholds that are not symmetric.
TakePublic records filer status on the company profile and uses it for every periodic deadline. Status changes are a counsel decision; the product can recommend a status from float and revenue inputs, but you confirm with securities counsel. This page is not legal advice.
Only the periodic report deadlines move with filer status. 8-K and Form 4 business-day rules stay the same for every domestic filer.
| Filer status | 10-K deadline | 10-Q deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Large accelerated | 60 calendar days after fiscal year end | 40 calendar days after quarter end |
| Accelerated | 75 calendar days after fiscal year end | 40 calendar days after quarter end |
| Non-accelerated | 90 calendar days after fiscal year end | 45 calendar days after quarter end |
Weekend and SEC holiday due dates roll to the next business day. All deadlines ET.
Entry and exit use different float cutoffs (hysteresis), so a company does not flip status on a small float move around the line.
| Threshold | Public float | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Accelerated entry | $75,000,000 | Non-accelerated companies at or above this float are recommended for accelerated status |
| Large accelerated entry | $700,000,000 | Companies at or above this float are recommended for large accelerated status |
| Large accelerated exit | $560,000,000 | Large accelerated companies drop toward accelerated when float falls below this level |
| Accelerated exit | $60,000,000 | Accelerated companies drop to non-accelerated when float falls below this level |
Recommendations also consider the smaller reporting company revenue test when audited annual revenue is provided. Confirm with counsel.
Filer status is reviewed on an annual cycle.
Wrong status produces wrong due dates for every 10-K and 10-Q. TakePublic prefills status from public EDGAR history during onboarding; company admins keep it current in Settings so the compliance calendar, alerts, and health score stay honest.
The accelerated entry threshold is $75,000,000 of public float. Exit from accelerated status uses a lower $60,000,000 threshold. Confirm the full SEC tests, including revenue, with counsel.
The large accelerated entry threshold is $700,000,000 of public float. Exit from large accelerated toward accelerated uses $560,000,000. Confirm with counsel.
Large accelerated: 60 calendar days after fiscal year end. Accelerated: 75. Non-accelerated: 90. All deadlines ET, with weekend and holiday rolls.
Yes. Both have 40 calendar days after quarter end. Non-accelerated filers have 45 calendar days.
Annually. TakePublic dates the review obligation as 10 business days after the second fiscal quarter end. Treat that as a calendar cue; confirm the SEC determination with counsel.
