LLC (Business Entity Report)

Due: Every other year. The first report is due two years after the LLC is formed or registered. The due date is the month and day it was formed or registered; you have until the end of that month before the report is past due.
Fee: For-profit: $32.00 on INBiz or $50.00 by paper (INBiz page). The Secretary of State page lists $31 online and $50 by mail.
Late: No separate late fee found on the pages read. Past-due notice, then a pending-dissolution notice, then administrative dissolution.
If you miss it: Failing to file results in administrative dissolution (Indiana businesses) or revocation (foreign businesses). A dissolved or revoked business may only apply for reinstatement or wind up its affairs. Reinstatement first requires a tax clearance from the Department of Revenue (4 to 6 weeks). Business and assumed names are protected only 120 days after dissolution. Reinstatement after more than 5 years must be filed on paper.
To close it: File a Dissolution (corporation or LLC) in INBiz; closing in INBiz ends only the obligations to the Secretary of State (see the closing steps below). Filing fee: not yet researched.

Good to know

Not the same as filing taxes.

Every business registered with the Secretary of State must file the Business Entity Report; the Secretary of State says this is not the same as filing your taxes. General partnerships and sole proprietorships do not register and do not file one.

Reminders and how to find your due date.

Email reminders are sent 90 and 30 days before the due date to the business email and registered agent email. Use the Business Search, open the Business ID, and the Business Details page shows the due date.

Closing a Indiana business: step by step

Do the federal steps on the closing checklist too. State-specific steps:

File the dissolution (or cancellation or withdrawal) in INBiz
To formally dissolve, a business must file with the Indiana Secretary of State first: Dissolution for a corporation or LLC, Cancellation for a limited partnership, Withdrawal for a limited liability partnership or an out-of-state business. The Secretary of State warns that closing in INBiz ends only your obligations to that office.
