Keeping it alive
Your information report (formerly 'annual report')
| Filing | Information Report (formerly 'Annual Report') |
|---|---|
| How often | biennial |
| Fee | $90 |
| When it's due | CHANGED IN 2026 from annual to biennial. LLCs formed in an even year file in each subsequent even year; odd-year LLCs file odd years. For-profit due by April 15. $90 online / $110 paper. |
| If you're late | No flat monetary late fee identified. Roughly 3-month delinquency window, after which the entity is forfeited and cannot file further documents until reinstated. |
| If you keep ignoring it | Forfeiture after the ~90-day delinquency period; Certificate of Reinstatement required. |
State tax: No franchise tax - Kansas repealed its corporate/LLC franchise tax effective 2011.
What we're less sure about
Caveats on this page
- HIGH VALUE: Kansas changed annual -> biennial and cut fees during 2026. Most competitor pages will be stale.
- A 26 May 2026 press release announced further reductions WITHOUT publishing exact figures, so the $90/$110 report fee (from the 23 Jan 2026 form) may already be out of date.
- VERIFY BEFORE PUBLISHING
