Kansas annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Kansas reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Kansas filing agency ↗Kansas LLC reports
Kansas LLCs file a business entity information report every two years, with the current statutory LLC fee described as $80 plus the additional amount set by rules; the Secretary's current schedule must be used to calculate the final electronic or paper total. The report deadline and filing window depend on the entity's statutory cycle. A report not filed and paid within the statutory cure period can produce penalties and loss of authority.
Kansas corporation reports
Kansas for-profit corporations file a biennial business entity information report and pay the current Secretary fee shown by BESS. The 2026 Kansas rules list a $10.00 biennial-report penalty for delinquency, separate from the report fee. Reports update officers, directors, registered agent, office, and authorized-share information and are separate from Kansas income-tax filings.
Kansas franchise and business taxes
No separate Kansas Secretary-of-State corporate franchise tax applies as a registry charge. Kansas corporate income tax and privilege or other tax obligations are administered by the Kansas Department of Revenue and depend on taxable income, apportionment, and entity classification. Biennial-report fees, the $10.00 report penalty, and entity filing charges are not the corporate income-tax liability.
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
Kansas's current rules list a $10.00 biennial-report penalty for failure to file or pay within the statutory period, in addition to the report fee. The entity can also face loss of authority, forfeiture, or administrative dissolution and separate Kansas tax interest and penalties. Use BESS to calculate the complete cure amount for the specific entity.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Kansas can forfeit or dissolve a domestic entity, or revoke a foreign authority, for failure to file and pay required business entity information reports, maintain a registered agent, or satisfy statutory fees. The current notice and cure period depends on entity type and governing statute; the reviewed pages do not state one universal day-by-day sequence. Delinquency can impair contract and litigation rights before the final status change.
Reinstate a Kansas business
Search BESS and review the forfeited or dissolved record. File each delinquent information report, correct the registered agent and office, pay the report fees, the $10.00 delinquency penalties, the reinstatement filing charge, and any current charges. Submit the reinstatement form through BESS, verify active status, and separately resolve Kansas Department of Revenue returns, tax balances, interest, and licenses.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
Kansas reinstatement requires the current certificate or application fee plus all delinquent reports and the $10.00 biennial-report penalty for each late report where applicable. The reviewed fee materials did not expose one universal 2026 reinstatement total for every entity type. Kansas tax back balances, interest, and penalties are administered separately and are not included in the Secretary's reinstatement amount.
