How to File
1
Determine Your Filing Year
Indiana LLCs file a Business Entity Report every second year, in the anniversary month of formation. The first report is not due until two years after the LLC was formed, so an LLC organized in July 2026 files first in July 2028, then July 2030. Look your entity up on INBiz to see the exact date recorded for it.
2
Gather Required Information
Collect your LLC's current registered agent information, principal office address, and names and addresses of all members or managers.
3
Access the Indiana Secretary of State Portal
File through INBiz, the Secretary of State's online system at inbiz.in.gov, which is linked from the business services pages at in.gov/sos/business. Paper filers use State Form 48725 instead.
4
Complete and Submit the Report
Fill in your current LLC information, review it for accuracy, and submit during your anniversary month. The fee is $31 filed online through INBiz or $50 if you mail State Form 48725.
5
Maintain Filing Records
Save your confirmation receipt and update your business records. Mark your calendar for the next Business Entity Report two years later, in the same month.

This guide is general information, not legal or tax advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. It reports what each state publishes about filing deadlines, fees, and the consequences of missing them, with the sources this page cites. It cannot tell you what your own company owes: the date turns on when and where you formed, states change these rules between our reviews, and in several states an entity-level tax falls due in a year when no report does. Confirm your own dates with the filing office named on this page before you rely on one here, because the penalty for missing a deadline can be administrative dissolution of the company.
Frequently Asked Questions
Indiana charges no late fee at all. INBiz states plainly that there are no late fees on an overdue Business Entity Report, so you pay only the normal fee of $31 online or $50 on paper. What does add up is that you owe a report fee for every cycle you missed, so the cost compounds rather than penalizes. The real risk is administrative dissolution. The Secretary of State mails a notice headed "Pending Administrative Dissolution or Revocation of Registration" that carries the deadline to cure, and if the report is not filed by that date the LLC is administratively dissolved. IC 23-0.5-6-2(b) gives 60 days after the notice to cure; work from the date printed on your own notice. Reinstating then costs a $30 reinstatement fee plus the filing fee for every Business Entity Report year still owed, and it cannot begin until the Indiana Department of Revenue issues a Certificate of Clearance (Form AD-19 with Form ROC-1), which the Secretary of State says takes at least four weeks. IC 23-0.5-6-3(a) allows reinstatement only within five years of the effective date of dissolution, in any channel; after that the entity cannot be reinstated at all. Contact the Business Services Division at (317) 232-6576 or file through INBiz right away if you are past due.
Indiana LLCs file a Business Entity Report every second year with the Indiana Secretary of State. Online is both the fast and the cheap route: file through INBiz at inbiz.in.gov, linked from in.gov/sos/business, and pay $31 by card or e-check with immediate confirmation. To file on paper, complete State Form 48725 and mail it with a $50 check to the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division, 302 West Washington Street, Room E-018, Indianapolis, IN 46204. The report is due in the anniversary month of your LLC's formation, every other year, and the first one is not due until two years after formation. Missing it triggers no late fee, but it does eventually lead to administrative dissolution, so file as soon as your reminder arrives.
An Indiana Business Entity Report costs $31 filed online through INBiz, or $50 filed on paper with State Form 48725. Because the report is biennial rather than annual, that works out to about $15.50 a year, among the cheapest ongoing state upkeep in the country. INBiz accepts credit cards and e-checks; paper filers pay by check made out to the Secretary of State. The fee is owed once per two-year cycle, and Indiana adds no late fee if you fall behind. What does cost money is skipping the report altogether: the LLC is administratively dissolved, and getting it back means a $30 reinstatement fee plus the filing fee for every report year you owe. Confirm your own due date on your entity's INBiz record and file a couple of weeks ahead of it.
Your Business Entity Report is due in the anniversary month of your LLC's formation, every second year. Indiana sets no statewide calendar date. State Form 48725 says biennial reports are due every other year in the anniversary month of the business forming, and it directs filers to INBiz to see the exact date on their own entity record. The first report comes two years after formation, not one: an Indiana LLC organized in July 2026 files in July 2028, then July 2030, then July 2032. The fee is $31 online or $50 by mail. Missing the deadline brings no late fee, but the Secretary of State will eventually administratively dissolve the LLC, so set a recurring two-year reminder for your anniversary month. Check in.gov/sos/business or call (317) 232-6576 if you are unsure of your date.
No, Indiana does not exempt active LLCs from the Business Entity Report. Every operating limited liability company files one every second year to stay in good standing.
The only entities that stop filing are those that have wound up and dissolved voluntarily, and those the state has already administratively dissolved. If your LLC has ceased operations, file articles of dissolution with the Secretary of State's Business Services Division rather than simply letting the report lapse. Letting it lapse ends in administrative dissolution, and bringing the entity back costs a $30 reinstatement fee plus the filing fee for every report year still owed, after the Indiana Department of Revenue issues a Certificate of Clearance.
Indiana charges no late fee on an overdue Business Entity Report, so there is no penalty to race, only the compounding report fees and the loss of good standing. The report is due in the anniversary month of formation, every other year, and the first one falls two years after formation.
Contact the Business Services Division at (317) 232-6576 or look your entity up on INBiz at inbiz.in.gov to confirm your filing status and your exact due date.
