Indiana annual report: every other year, which is the trap.
Indiana asks less often than almost anyone: the Business Entity Report comes due every two years, at the end of your anniversary month, $32 filed online. The generosity is the hazard, because a deadline that skips a year is a deadline nobody’s habits carry. Roughly sixty days of grace stand between a missed on-year and dissolution proceedings. The whole game is knowing which year is yours.
This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.
Four facts cover the whole system
The Business Entity Report, Indiana’s biennial version of the annual report, filed with the Secretary of State: addresses, registered agent, and officials refreshed on the record every other year. What we file for you →
At the end of your anniversary month, every second year, counted from your formation year: form in an even year and your report years are even, odd and they are odd. The off year owes nothing at all. Put your years on a watched calendar →
$32 filed online, $50 on paper, every other year, among the lightest report burdens in the country. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
Roughly sixty days of grace after the anniversary month closes, then the Secretary of State may begin administrative dissolution. The company that forgot one biennial report usually learns at a bank, and fixes it through reinstatement.

The off year owes nothing, the on year owes everything
The Indiana Business Entity Report is biennial: due at the end of your anniversary month every other year, $32 online or $50 on paper, with roughly sixty days of grace before dissolution proceedings can start. Half of Indiana’s companies owe nothing in any given year, which is exactly why the half that owes forgets. Know your year.
Where you stand decides what you do next
It matches your formation year’s parity: even-year formations report in even years, odd in odd. We read it from the record, not from memory, and the calendar carries both the year and the month.
Inside the sixty days, one $32 filing closes it. Past them, reinstatement reopens the company with the report settled. Either way, this week beats next week.
A biennial Indiana entity beside annual-state siblings is how the odd one out gets forgotten. A multi-entity dashboard holds every rhythm at once, including the one that skips years.
The bank found it first, fourteen months later
Our loan officer searched the record before we did: Administratively Dissolved, fourteen months back, over a biennial report we thought was annual and had therefore filed a year early, into a system that wanted nothing, and then skipped the year it wanted everything. Reinstatement took a week the closing did not have. Indiana asks every other year. We answered every wrong one.

What is the Indiana Business Entity Report?
Indiana’s biennial version of the annual report: a filing with the Secretary of State every other year confirming your addresses, registered agent, and officials. Nothing is due in the off year. We track your reporting year and file as part of annual report service.
When is the Indiana Business Entity Report due?
At the end of your anniversary month, every second year, with the year determined by your formation year’s parity: even-year formations report in even years, odd in odd. The two-year rhythm is the whole difficulty, which is why it belongs on a watched calendar that remembers parity.
How much does the Indiana Business Entity Report cost?
$32 filed online or $50 on paper, once every two years, one of the lightest report burdens in the country. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
What happens if I miss the Indiana Business Entity Report?
Roughly sixty days of grace follow the anniversary month, and after them the Secretary of State may begin administrative dissolution. A dissolved entity returns through reinstatement with the missed report settled. Most misses here are parity mistakes, not neglect, and the cure is the same.
Do I file anything in my off year?
No, nothing, and filing anyway does not bank credit for the on year, it just confuses the habit. The off year owes exactly zero; the on year owes the report by the end of the anniversary month. We keep the parity straight so the off-year silence never becomes an on-year lapse.
Do foreign-registered entities file the Indiana report too?
Yes, on the same biennial parity and the same fees, on top of their home state’s schedule, with revocation of authority as their version of dissolution. Our multi-entity dashboard holds every state’s rhythm, including the ones that skip years.
Can File.Business file my Indiana Business Entity Report?
Yes. We read your reporting year from the record, file at the start of the anniversary month every on-year, and verify your standing after it posts, with the state fee, transaction fee, and our service fee itemized up front, one-time or on the automated plan.
