When is my Indiana Business Entity Report due?
For most business entities in Indiana, the annual report—also called the “Business Entity Report”—is due every two years on the anniversary month of your formation or registration. For example, if you formed your business in April, the report will be due every other April.
How do I find my anniversary month?
Check your formation or registration approval month on INBiz or in your original state filing receipt.
Can I file before my anniversary month?
Plan to file during the month itself. Filing too early can be rejected or applied to the wrong cycle.
Is this a tax filing?
No. The report updates corporate records with the Secretary of State. You still meet all federal, state, and local tax obligations separately.
What are the fees?
For-profit entities pay $32 online or $50 by paper. Nonprofits pay $22 online or $20 by paper.
Do foreign entities file too?
Yes. Use your Indiana registration month to set the biennial schedule.
Nothing changed this year. Do I still file
Yes. You must confirm that the information on file is still accurate even if nothing changed.
Can I change my registered agent in the report?
You can update registered agent information during the filing. The agent must have a physical Indiana address and agree to serve.
