When the Indiana Business Entity Report is due
Indiana LLCs file a Business Entity Report every two years. It is due every other year, by the last day of the LLC's anniversary month (the month it was formed).
The first one is due in the anniversary month two years after formation.
Because it is filed every two years, it is easy to forget. Put the month in your calendar now, or let our compliance tracker work out the date for you.
What the Business Entity Report asks for
It confirms or updates what the state holds about your LLC. Expect to give:
- The LLC's name and Indiana file number
- The principal office and mailing address
- Your registered agent's name and address in Indiana
- The members or managers, as your state's form asks
If something has changed since the last filing, such as a new member or manager, update your operating agreement first so the two match.
If you miss it
The LLC falls out of good standing on Indiana's records. Most states also add a late penalty, and many administratively dissolve an LLC whose report stays unfiled. Without good standing, banks and partners ask questions, some contracts cannot be signed, and a dissolved LLC has to file for reinstatement. The sources below set out exactly what Indiana does.
