If you file your Indiana LLC biennial report after the deadline, the Indiana Secretary of State will assess a $100 late fee in addition to the $100 biennial report filing fee itself. Your LLC's good standing status will be suspended, meaning you cannot conduct business legally in Indiana, sign contracts, or enforce them in court. If the report remains unfiled 60 days past the deadline, the Secretary of State will administratively dissolve your LLC without further notice—a serious consequence that removes your liability protection and complicates future reinstatement. You can reinstate a dissolved LLC by filing a Certificate of Reinstatement with the required reinstatement fee, but this creates unnecessary legal complications. Contact the Indiana Secretary of State's Business Services Division immediately at (317) 232-6576 if you've missed the deadline. Submit your biennial report on Form BL-2 right away to minimize penalties and restore your LLC's active status before dissolution occurs.
Indiana LLCs must file a biennial report every two years with the Indiana Secretary of State using Form IL-2. You can file online through the Secretary of State's website at sos.in.gov, which is the fastest method and provides instant confirmation. Alternatively, mail the completed form to the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division, 302 West Washington Street, Room E-018, Indianapolis, IN 46204. The biennial report filing fee is $30, payable by check or credit card for online submissions. Your report must be filed by the last day of the month in which your LLC was originally formed, every two years thereafter. Missing this deadline results in administrative dissolution, meaning your LLC loses legal protection and tax benefits. File immediately upon receiving your reminder notice to avoid penalties and maintain good standing.
Indiana LLCs must pay a $32 filing fee for their biennial report to the Indiana Secretary of State. This fee is due each time you file, which occurs every two years during your assigned reporting period. The Indiana Secretary of State accepts payment via credit card when filing online through their portal, or by check if you mail your report. This $32 fee is non-refundable, regardless of filing method. For Indiana LLC owners, this modest biennial cost is significantly lower than annual report fees in many states, making it an affordable compliance requirement. Missing the deadline or failing to remit the fee can result in administrative dissolution of your LLC, which carries serious legal and tax consequences. To ensure timely compliance, verify your specific reporting deadline in your LLC formation documents, then file your biennial report with the Secretary of State at least two weeks before the due date.
Indiana LLC biennial reports are due every two years by April 15 to the Indiana Secretary of State, Division of Corporations. Your specific filing year depends on your LLC's formation date or your last biennial report filing date. The filing fee is $30, payable to the Indiana Secretary of State. You'll submit Form 53100 (Indiana Biennial Report for Limited Liability Company) either online through the Secretary of State's portal or by mail. If you miss the April 15 deadline, your LLC risks administrative dissolution, which suspends your legal ability to conduct business in Indiana and creates personal liability exposure for you as the owner. You should mark your calendar now for your next April 15 deadline and set a reminder for early April to allow processing time. Contact the Indiana Secretary of State at (317) 232-6576 or visit sos.in.gov to verify your specific filing year and submit your report immediately.
No, Indiana does not provide exemptions from filing the biennial report for active LLCs. All operating Limited Liability Companies must submit a biennial report to the Indiana Secretary of State every two years to maintain good standing and legal compliance.
The only LLCs exempt from this filing requirement are those that have officially dissolved their business or administratively dissolved by the state. If your LLC has ceased operations, you must file a Certificate of Dissolution with the Indiana Secretary of State's Business Services Division before the biennial report deadline to avoid penalties and potential reinstatement fees.
Failure to file by the due date—typically the last day of the month in which your LLC was formed, every two years—results in a $25 late fee plus potential loss of good standing status, which can complicate future business operations, loans, or liability protection.
Contact the Indiana Secretary of State's Business Services Division at (317) 232-6576 or visit sos.in.gov to verify your LLC's filing status and confirm your specific biennial report deadline.
