Kansas LLC Annual Report, Filed Every Other April 15

Odd or Even Is Fixed by the Year Kansas Filed Your Articles

K.S.A. 17-76,139(b) ties the report to one fact: the year the formation documents were filed. An LLC whose Articles of Organization went on file in an even-numbered year reports in every even year, the others in odd years, and always no later than April 15. The month and day of formation play no part.

Articles stamped on August 19, 2024 put an LLC in the even group: no report in 2024 or 2025, a first one due April 15, 2026, and the next on April 15, 2028. In 2028 and 2029 that date falls on a weekend, and the calculator above treats the Friday before as the safe filing day.

A foreign limited liability company, organized under the law of some other state, is placed by the year it filed its foreign LLC application in Kansas (subsection (d)(2)); its home-state formation date doesn’t matter. Look the LLC up on the Kansas business entity search and its entry prints that year.

Several national guides still tie the Kansas annual report deadline to the close of the LLC’s tax year, counting forward three and a half months. The statute no longer says that: its current text sets April 15 for every LLC, whatever its fiscal year.

$80 by Statute, $90 Online, $110 on Paper

Subsection (f) sets $80 and lets the Secretary of State add fees by regulation. Two regulations amended on February 27, 2026 do exactly that, which is how the Form ILC fee schedule arrives at $90 and $110.

Figures of $55 or $100, repeated by some filing services, match neither line of the current schedule. A series of a Kansas LLC gets no online option: the ILC instructions require the paper form, so each series pays $110 for its own report.

Six Boxes on Form ILC, the Last One a Sworn Signature

Every business on the Secretary of State’s books is required to file the report, which restates who the LLC is on the day it’s filed. Revenue, profit and taxes stay off the form.

1

Business ID

The number the Secretary of State issued. The instructions point out that it is not a tax ID number.

2

Legal name

As it stands on record, with its ending (LLC, LC or another accepted form).

3

Principal office

A street, rural route or highway address with city, state and ZIP. A PO box is refused, and the box can't stay blank.

4

Reporting year

The year the report was due, even when it's filed later.

5

Members with 5% or more

Every member holding 5% or more of the capital, with an address where that member can usually be found. Kansas LLCs and Kansas series only.

6

Signature

An authorized person signs. Under subsection (e), the signature is an oath that the facts are true.

Size doesn’t change the form: a one-member LLC answers the same boxes as a large one, and box 5 becomes part of the public record.

Sending the Report: a Customer Login or a Check to Topeka

1. Note the Business ID and the report year from the LLC’s record on Business Search.
2. On the Secretary of State’s Information Reports page, choose File Information Report, which opens the office’s customer login.
3. Check the principal office and the list of 5% members, then sign as an authorized person.
4. Pay the $90 online. Once the office has processed the report, a file-stamped copy is available online.

On paper, the ILC is mailed to the Secretary of State’s office, Docking State Office Building, 915 SW Harrison Street, Topeka, KS 66612, paid by check (payee: Kansas Secretary of State) or by the card cover page from the form. One cover page can be charged for several documents at once, which helps when several LLCs file at the same time.

Ninety Days of Delinquency Before Kansas Forfeits the LLC

Subsection (g) gives the LLC 90 days from April 15, whose 90th day is July 14 (the next Monday when it falls on a weekend, under K.S.A. 60-206), while the Secretary of State’s page speaks of a three-month interval. Filing by July 14 satisfies every reading.

A mailed report counts on its postmark: K.S.A. 17-7510(a), which subsection (g) applies to LLCs, accepts one postmarked within the 90 days. The same text has the office mail a forfeiture warning within 60 days of the due date, so a letter sent by mid-June is the warning, not the forfeiture.

The ILC fee schedule shows no extra charge for a report filed during those 90 days. Once they run out, the articles are forfeited and the costs of the next section apply.

Getting a Forfeited LLC Back Takes Form RL and Paper Reports

The Reinstate a Business page offers the Certificate of Reinstatement, form RL, as a paper form only, and every missing report goes in the same envelope on a paper ILC. That is why each back report costs $110 rather than $90.

Only the last 10 years count, which in a two-year cycle means five reports at most (K.S.A. 17-76,146(a)). The RL, the reports and the full payment arrive together; the office won’t process them one by one.

The RL also restates the resident agent and its registered office, and once filed it returns the LLC to active and in good standing.

The LLC’s name may have been taken while it was forfeited. In that case the RL instructions ask for written consent on form CN from the business now using it, or a new name, and an LLC from another state may instead send a letter of advertising (K.S.A. 17-7933).
