One requirement of maintaining an LLC or corporation in Kansas is filing a Biennial Report. The Biennial Report confirms and updates the company’s information each year with the Kansas Secretary of State, such as the name and address of the owners and principal office address.
Who Needs to File a Biennial Report?
Domestic and foreign corporations and LLCs in Kansas are required to file a biennial report every other year after the year the company was formed. For instance, if the LLC was formed in 2024, the first Biennial Report will be due in 2026.
What is Needed to File a Kansas Biennial Report
The Biennial Report can be filed online through the Kansas Secretary of State’s website.
The report asks for information such as:
- Business Entity ID Number – If you can’t remember your Business Entity ID Number, visit the Kansas Secretary of State Kansas business entity database.
- Business name
- Tax closing date
- Name, title, and address of the officers, directors, members, and/or managers
- Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN)
Filing typically takes about one week to process.
Kansas Biennial Report Fee
The Biennial Report filing fee for the corporation and LLC is $55.
Biennial Report Due Date
The filing is due every other year by the 15th day of the 4th month after the entity’s tax closing month ends. Most Kansas corporations and LLCs use a calendar year as their tax year, which means December 31st is the end of their tax year. In this example, if your Kansas LLC or Corporation has a tax year ending December 31st and was formed in 2024, the first Biennial Report deadline will be every year by April 15th, 2026.
Kansas Biennial Report FAQs
My business made little or no money. Do I still have to file the Biennial Report?
Even if your Kansas Corporation or LLC received no income or business activity, the Biennial Report still needs to be filed.
What happens if you don’t file the Biennial Report on time?
The business entity will lose its good standing status with no late fee penalty for the Biennial Report. If it is not filed within 90 days, the Secretary of State will administratively dissolve the entity.
