Indiana LLC annual tax or franchise tax

not read

Not read. No official page was read that states whether Indiana charges LLCs an annual, franchise or privilege tax separate from the Business Entity Report fee. The INBiz page only says the report 'is not the same thing as filing your taxes'. Indiana Department of Revenue pages were not read.

Not read is not the same as no tax. It means no official page was read that says whether Indiana charges an LLC an annual, franchise or privilege tax separate from the report fee.

Publication requirement

not read

Not read. No official page that was read states a publication rule either way.

The researcher's notes

Written by the researcher who read the pages, unedited. Field names such as due_kind are the names in this site's data file.

Two official figures exist for each filing and they differ by channel, not by contradiction. Formation: $95.00 online per the INBiz Fee Calculator (https://inbiz.in.gov/Inbiz/FeeCalculator/Index) versus 'FILING FEE: $100.00' on the paper form (https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=16989); the online figure is recorded per the schema's scope and excludes the checkout processing fee (minimum $1, at most 2.15%). Report: the Business Entity Reports page says $32.00 on INBiz while the Fee Calculator shows $31.00 before the processing fee; $32.00 is recorded because that page states it in words at a fixed URL. So formation.fee_usd excludes the processing fee while report.fee_usd appears to include the $1 minimum. The Fee Calculator is interactive: its URL shows $0.00 until the selections are made, so a reader must repeat the selections to see the quoted line. An older IN.gov business guide (https://www.in.gov/core/business_guide.html) gives $30.00 for biennial filings; it is dated (it cites 2008-2009 wage figures) and was not used. publication.required=false rests on absence in the official form instructions. PUBLICATION (orchestrator, 2026-09-28): recorded as not read. The researcher observed: No publication step appears in the instructions on the Articles of Organization form (State Form 49459); this is read from absence, not from an explicit statement that none is required.

Fees change. The state's own page is the authority: open the source link beside a figure before you file or pay. This desk is a reading of public pages. It is not legal advice and it is not tax advice.
