Indiana LLC Business Entity Report — Step 6 of 8
Indiana calls its compliance filing a "Business Entity Report" instead of an Annual Report — and true to the name, it's only due every other year, not annually.
Every Indiana LLC files a Business Entity Report — Indiana's version of an Annual Report — but only every other year (biennially), not annually. It costs $32 online ($50 by mail) and is due sometime during your LLC's anniversary month, considered late if not filed by the last day of that month. Your first report isn't due until two years after formation.

What Indiana's Business Entity Report Involves
Indiana keeps this filing genuinely simple compared to most states — the biggest difference is just the frequency:
- Fee: $32 online, $50 by mail — one of the lower compliance filing costs in the country.
- Due window: your LLC's anniversary month — the calendar month you were originally formed, every other year. Late if not filed by the last day of that month.
- First report timing: due two years after formation, not one.
- Filed with: the Indiana Secretary of State through INBiz, or by downloading the paper form from the SOS Business Forms page.
- Reminders sent automatically — the state sends notices 90 and 30 days before your report is due, by email or to your registered agent's address.

How to File
- File online through INBiz for instant processing and the cheapest rate.
- Review your information — confirm your LLC's name, registered agent, and principal office address are still accurate.
- Or download the PDF form — available on the Indiana Secretary of State's Business Forms page for mail filers.
- Mail filings cost more — $50 instead of $32, so online filing is worth it for both speed and savings.
- File any time during your anniversary month — no early-filing restrictions like some states impose.
The "every other year" timing is easy to forgetBecause most states require annual reports, Indiana's biennial cycle catches people off guard in the opposite direction — they either forget it's due at all, or mistakenly file (and pay) every year out of habit. Set a calendar reminder for your specific anniversary month, every second year, using the calculator above.
