Steps for Completing Your Indiana LLC Business Entity Report

All Indiana LLCs conducting business in the state are required to file a Business Entity Report every two years.

Filing this report is essential to ensure your LLC remains compliant and in good standing with Indiana.

You can submit your LLC's Business Entity Report either by mail or online. We suggest filing online for a quicker and more cost-effective process.

Below are the instructions for filing by mail and online.

Fees:

• $50 for mail submissions
• $31 for online submissions

Due Date

Your Indiana LLC Business Entity Report is due every two years, by the last day of the month the state approved your LLC. This month is considered your LLC’s anniversary month.

If you're unsure of your LLC's approval month, you can find this information by searching for your LLC in the InBiz Business Search under "Creation Date," or by calling the Secretary of State at 317-232-6576 (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM).

The Indiana LLC Business Entity Report isn’t due immediately after your LLC is established. The first report is due two years following the formation of the LLC.

How early can you file?

You can file up to one month before the due date.

Penalty

A short grace period is allowed for late filings, but persistent non-compliance may lead to the state administratively dissolving your LLC.

Reminders

Depending on your method of filing the Articles of Organization, you will receive a reminder by mail or email about 30 days before the due date.

Even if you don't get a reminder, it is still up to you to file your Business Entity Report every two years. To make sure you don't forget, it is a good idea to set a recurring reminder on your calendar.
