Indiana's Annual Report Is Biennial: The Business Entity Report

Search for the Indiana annual report and you'll land on a document with a different name and a different clock. Indiana's version is the Business Entity Report, and it is due every two years, not every one. The interval is the trap: fewer filings, but a deadline with two full years to fall off your calendar.

Filing Parameters

Report name: Business Entity Report (Indiana's equivalent of an annual report).

Frequency: Biennial. Entities formed in even years file in even years; odd-year entities file in odd years.

Fee: $32 filed online, $50 on paper.

Due date: The last day of your anniversary month in your filing year.

Filing window: Opens 90 days before the anniversary month (HB 1593, effective January 1, 2026).

Statute: IC 23-0.5-2-13.

Exemption: Series LLCs file no Business Entity Report.

Due Date for the Indiana Business Entity Report

Your due date is fixed by your formation month. The report must reach the state by the final day of that anniversary month, every second year. A foreign entity counts from the month Indiana registered it, not from its home-state formation date.

The 2026 change matters here: HB 1593 opened a 90-day early-filing window ahead of the due month. Filing early inside that window is the simplest hedge against forgetting.

The Indiana Annual Report Fee ($32 Online / $50 by Mail)

Two prices, one report. Online submission runs $32, paid by credit card through the INBiz portal. The paper route runs $50. Nonprofit corporations pay a reduced $20; for-profit corporations, LLCs, LLPs, and LPs all sit in the $32/$50 tier.

The paper version is State Form 48725; LLCs complete Articles I through V plus Article VIII.

Filing the Business Entity Report, Step by Step

1. Locate your entity record through the INBiz portal and confirm your anniversary month.
2. Verify the information on file. The registered agent can be updated on this report (consent represented by checkbox); the entity name cannot.
3. Supply governing person information. LLC rosters are largely optional, but the record must show at least one governing person.
4. Submit and pay: $32 by credit card online, or mail State Form 48725 with the $50 fee.

Missed Deadlines: Delinquency and Dissolution

Indiana publishes no fixed late surcharge for this report. The penalty structure is sharper than a fine: the entity turns delinquent after the last day of its anniversary month, and roughly 120 days past the due date the Secretary of State can administratively dissolve a domestic entity or revoke a foreign one's registration. Dissolution strips liability protection and standing with the state. Reinstatement is possible, but slower and more expensive than filing on time ever was.
