What makes Indiana different

  • Indiana's "Annual Report" is actually a BIENNIAL Business Entity Report (BER) filed every TWO years, not annually. One of the few US states with biennial frequency (alongside NY, AK, IA, NE). Effectively cuts SOS compliance burden in half.
  • BER due in anniversary month, every 2 years. Entity formed June 2024 → first BER due June 2026, then June 2028, etc.
  • LLC BER fee: $50 (according to IN SoS). Paid every 2 years = effectively $25/year amortized. Among lower US AR rates when annualized.
  • Corp BER fee: $30 online / $50 paper. Nonprofit Corp BER $20.
  • Formation fees: LLC $95 online / $100 paper. Corp $90 online / $100 paper. Indiana uses Enhanced Access (EA) surcharge of $20 added to the statutory base fee. Online filings effectively the same as paper minus the paper-handling premium.
  • Filed at Indiana SoS Business Services Division (standard SOS structure, unlike MD/VA/MI/AZ/WI).
  • INBiz portal processes online filings same-day to 1 business day. Among fastest US.
  • Personal Income Tax 3.05% flat (2024-2025), scheduled to drop to 2.9% by 2027 under SB 1 of 2023 trigger formula.
