Indiana LLC Biennial Report 2026: $32 Business Entity Report & Due Date

Due Date and Frequency (Biennial)

This is the key difference from states with annual reports: Indiana does not require an annual report — instead LLCs file a Business Entity Report every two years (biennial). You will not file in the years in between. Because the deadline is anniversary-based rather than a single calendar date that applies to every LLC, it is easy to lose track of — so it is worth recording your specific due month.

The Indiana Secretary of State typically sends reminder notices to the contact information on file. However, receipt of a reminder is not a prerequisite for the filing obligation. It remains your LLC's responsibility to file on time regardless of whether a reminder arrives. You can confirm your exact due month by looking up your entity on INBiz.

Business Entity Report Fee: $32 Online

Indiana charges a single, flat fee for the Business Entity Report when you file it online:

Because the $32 fee is biennial, the effective annual cost works out to roughly $16 per year — among the lowest ongoing compliance costs of any state. The simplest and cheapest route is always to file online through INBiz rather than on paper. Confirm the current fee at in.gov/sos before you submit, since state fees can change.

What Information Is Required

The Indiana Business Entity Report asks you to confirm or update the following information:

• Registered Agent: The name and physical Indiana street address of your registered agent. If your agent or their address has changed since your last filing, update it here.
• Principal Office Address: The main business address of your LLC. This must be a physical address rather than a PO Box.
• Management Details: Confirm the names and addresses for the people responsible for managing the LLC, consistent with how your LLC is structured (member-managed or manager-managed).
• Entity Information: Verify your LLC's name and identifying details on file with the Secretary of State match your records, and correct anything that is out of date.

You are not required to submit financial statements, revenue figures, tax returns, or details about your business operations. Like Indiana's overall approach, the Business Entity Report is purely an administrative confirmation and update filing.

Step-by-Step: How to File on INBiz

Filing your Indiana Business Entity Report online through INBiz takes just a few minutes. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Go to inbiz.in.gov
   Navigate to INBiz, the Indiana Secretary of State's online business portal. Sign in to your account, or create one if you have not used INBiz before.
2. Find your LLC
   Locate your LLC within your INBiz account, or search for your entity by name or business ID. Confirm this is your entity before proceeding.
3. Select "Business Entity Report"
   From your entity's options, choose to file the Business Entity Report. INBiz will pre-populate your current information from Secretary of State records.
4. Review and update your information
   Confirm or update your registered agent name and address, principal office address, and management details. Make any necessary corrections before continuing.
5. Submit and pay the $32 fee
   Review your information one final time, then submit and pay the $32 online filing fee by credit or debit card through INBiz.
6. Save your confirmation
   After payment, you will receive online confirmation that your Business Entity Report was accepted. Print or save this confirmation as proof of filing. The Secretary of State will update your LLC's status to reflect the filing.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline

Indiana handles missed filings differently from most states. There is no monetary late fee — but missing the deadline still puts your LLC at serious risk:

Even though there is no late fee to fear, the "Delinquent" status and the risk of administrative dissolution make on-time filing essential. Because the deadline is biennial and anniversary-based, it is easy to forget — set a calendar reminder for your due month every other year. Confirm current status rules at in.gov/sos.

How to Reinstate a Dissolved LLC in Indiana

If your Indiana LLC has been administratively dissolved for failing to file the Business Entity Report, reinstatement is generally possible. Here is the typical process:

1. File the overdue Business Entity Report
   Bring your filing current by submitting the Business Entity Report you missed, along with the applicable fee, through INBiz.
2. File a reinstatement application
   Submit the reinstatement application to the Indiana Secretary of State and pay the applicable reinstatement fee. Confirm the current reinstatement requirements and fee schedule at in.gov/sos.
3. Confirm your registered agent is current
   Ensure your registered agent information is accurate and up to date at the time of the reinstatement filing.
4. Await Secretary of State approval
   The Secretary of State will review your reinstatement and, if all requirements are met, restore your LLC to good standing. You will receive confirmation once reinstatement is complete.

Note that during the period of dissolution, your LLC could not legally enter contracts or sue in Indiana courts, and any contracts entered during that period may be affected. If significant business was conducted while dissolved, consult an Indiana business attorney about potential exposure, and confirm the current status rules at in.gov/sos.
