Indiana annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Indiana reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Indiana filing agency ↗Indiana LLC reports
Indiana for-profit LLCs file a Business Entity Report every other year, due by the end of the anniversary month in the applicable biennial year. The current INBiz fee is $32.00 online and $50.00 by paper. The report is separate from taxes and updates the principal office, registered agent, and governing persons. A late report triggers notices and can lead to administrative dissolution.
Indiana corporation reports
Indiana for-profit corporations file a Business Entity Report biennially, due by the end of the incorporation anniversary month in the applicable year. The current public INBiz fee is $32.00 online or $50.00 paper. Nonprofit entities use separate fees. Reports are distinct from tax returns; failure to file produces past-due and pending-dissolution notices, followed by administrative dissolution or revocation.
Indiana franchise and business taxes
No separate Indiana Secretary-of-State franchise tax applies as a registry fee. Indiana corporate income tax and financial-institution or other specialized taxes are administered by the Department of Revenue and depend on taxable income, apportionment, and classification. Authorized shares may affect corporate capitalization and other tax calculations, but INBiz report fees and enhanced-access charges are not franchise taxes.
A registry report and a tax filing can have different deadlines and payment recipients. Check both before considering the year complete.
Late fees and missed-report penalties
The reviewed Indiana business-report pages identify the ordinary report fee as $32.00 online or $50.00 paper but do not state a universal additional late dollar penalty. Past-due notices, pending administrative-dissolution notices, and the final dissolution/revocation process are the principal stated consequences. Tax penalties and interest are separate Department of Revenue liabilities.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Indiana sends a past-due notice when a Business Entity Report is not filed, then a pending administrative dissolution or revocation notice, and finally an administrative dissolution or revocation notice if the business does not respond. The exact cure dates are in the entity's notices. Dissolution or revocation can impair authority to transact, good standing, service of process, and limited-liability administration.
Reinstate a Indiana business
Search the entity in INBiz and identify every missing report and registered-agent defect. Request a Certificate of Clearance from the Indiana Department of Revenue when required; the official reinstatement instructions warn that this can take four to six weeks. File the application for reinstatement, delinquent Business Entity Reports, required affidavit or foreign certificate of existence, and all fees. Confirm active status and separately cure tax filings.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
Indiana's current analysis identifies an $11.00 online enhanced-access component for an application for reinstatement, but the statutory filing fee, delinquent reports, and payment charges are added in the live transaction. For-profit delinquent reports are $32.00 online or $50.00 paper each. Department of Revenue back taxes, penalties, interest, and clearance requirements are separate and can materially exceed SOS fees.
