Indiana Annual Report: The Biennial Business Entity Report

If you're searching for the Indiana annual report, here's the twist: Indiana doesn't have one. What the state actually requires is called the Business Entity Report, and it's filed every two years, not every year. Same idea, half the frequency, and a deadline that's much easier to lose track of.

Does Indiana Require an Annual Report?

Not an annual one. Indiana runs on a biennial cycle. Every LLC, corporation, nonprofit, and limited partnership registered with the Indiana Secretary of State files a Business Entity Report every other year under IC 23-0.5-2-13. The cycle follows your formation year: entities formed in an even-numbered year file in even years, and odd-year entities file in odd years. One exception worth knowing about: series LLCs don't file this report at all.

When Is the Indiana Business Entity Report Due?

Your report is due by the last day of your anniversary month, every second year. The anniversary month is the month your entity was formed, or, for out-of-state companies, the month Indiana admitted you. Form your LLC in June of an even year, and the report is due by June 30 of each even year going forward.

There's also a filing window to know about. Under HB 1593, effective January 1, 2026, the Secretary of State accepts your report during the 90 days before your anniversary month, so you can knock it out early instead of scrambling at the end of the month. If you're unsure of your exact due date, your entity record on INBiz shows it.

Indiana Annual Report Fee: $32 Online, $50 by Mail

The fee depends on how you file. Submit through the INBiz portal and it's $32, paid by credit card. Mail the paper version, State Form 48725, and it's $50. Online is cheaper, faster, and confirmed by email, so that's the route we'd point you to.

How to File the Indiana Business Entity Report

Filing takes a few minutes once you have your entity information handy:

1. Log in at the INBiz portal and pull up your entity record.
2. Confirm your principal office address and registered agent. You can update your registered agent on this report (consent is confirmed with a checkbox), but you can't change your entity name here.
3. Review your governing person information. For LLCs most of it is optional, but at least one governing person has to be on the record.
4. Pay the $32 fee by credit card and submit. The state typically processes online reports within about an hour and emails you a confirmation.

If you'd rather file on paper, State Form 48725 goes in by mail with the $50 fee. LLCs complete Articles I through V plus Article VIII.

What Happens If You File Late?

Indiana doesn't publish a flat late fine for the Business Entity Report, but that's no reason to relax. Your entity becomes delinquent the day after your anniversary month ends, and if the report still isn't in roughly 120 days past the due date, the state can administratively dissolve your business (or revoke your registration, if you're an out-of-state entity). Dissolution means losing your legal standing and the liability protection that came with it, and clawing your way back through reinstatement takes far more time and money than the $32 filing ever would.

How We Help

We're a registered agent service, not a filing service, so the biennial report itself stays in your hands. What we do is make sure it never sneaks up on you.

Deadline reminders: We alert you ahead of your anniversary month in your filing year. With two years between filings, that nudge matters more in Indiana than almost anywhere else.

Same-day document forwarding: If the Secretary of State sends a delinquency notice or any other correspondence to your registered agent address, we scan it and send it to you the day it arrives.

Online portal: Every document we've accepted for you lives in your secure portal, so you can look back at past notices whenever you need to.

Privacy: The Business Entity Report lists your registered agent. With us in that slot, our Indiana address sits on the public filing instead of yours.
