How to file the Kansas annual report
- Confirm the entity and registered agent. Use the name and entity number on file with the Kansas Secretary of State, Business Filing Center. Confirm the registered agent and principal office are current.
- Gather the required information. Most reports ask for the principal office, registered agent, and the names or addresses of officers, directors, managers, or members.
- Prepare and review the report. Use the state’s online filing system or the current paper form. Review the entity type and filing period before submitting.
- Pay the state fee. The fee is paid to the state, separate from any service fee charged by our office. Save the confirmation and filed copy.
- Calendar the next deadline. Add the next annual or biennial due date to the entity calendar, and coordinate it with the registered agent and tax calendars.
What happens if the Kansas report is late?
A late Kansas information report can result in penalties and administrative forfeiture or dissolution.
If the entity has already lost good standing, reinstatement is usually a separate filing with its own fee. The longer the report remains unfiled, the more likely the state is to dissolve, revoke, or administratively terminate the entity.
Kansas filing notes
Kansas moved from an annual to a biennial information report in 2024. Entities that previously filed every year should confirm the new cycle rather than continuing the old schedule.
The report is filed with the Secretary of State and is separate from Kansas income, sales, and payroll tax filings. The state’s online filing system may offer a lower fee than a paper filing.
