Who Needs to File an Annual Report?
Domestic and foreign corporations and LLCs are required to file an annual report each year after the year the company was formed.
What is Needed to File a Kansas Annual Report
The Annual Report can be filed online through the Kansas Secretary of State’s website or by filling in the Annual Report Form LC50.Â
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 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 Annual Report Fee
The Annual Report filing fee for both the Corporation or LLC is $50 for online filing and $55 for paper filing.
Annual Report Due Date
The annual filing is due by the 15th day of the 4th month after the end of the entity’s tax closing month. Most Corporations use a calendar year as their tax year, which means December 31st is the end of their tax year. In this example, if your LLC or Corporation has a tax year ending December 31st, the Annual Report deadline will be every year by April 15th.Â

My business made little or no money. Do I still have to file the Annual Report?
Even if your Kansas Corporation or LLC received no income or had no business activity, the Annual Report is still required to be filed.
What happens if you don’t file the Annual Report on time?
While there is no late fee penalty for the Annual Report, the business entity will lose its good standing status. If it is not filed within 90 days, the Secretary of State will administratively dissolve the entity.
