Does Kansas require an annual report? Not anymore. Kansas retired annual filing on January 1, 2024 and replaced it with a biennial Business Entity Information Report under K.S.A. 17-76,139. Your LLC now reports every other year. The report's contents did not change when the frequency did: it still confirms the information the Kansas Secretary of State keeps on record so the state can reach your business when it needs to.

Which years are yours depends on formation-year parity. An entity formed in an even-numbered year files in even-numbered years; an odd-year entity files in odd years.

When Is the Kansas Report Due?

For-profit entities on a calendar tax year, which covers nearly every LLC, must file by April 15 of their filing year. The exact statutory rule is the 15th day of the fourth month after the close of your tax year, so an LLC on a fiscal year gets a shifted deadline. Not-for-profit corporations have until June 15, a Kansas quirk that surprises nonprofit officers reading for-profit guides.

To find your next filing year, take the year your company was formed (for foreign entities, the year you registered in Kansas) and match its parity: even with even, odd with odd.

Kansas Annual Report Fee: $90 Online, $110 on Paper

The state fee for the LLC Information Report is $90 filed online or $110 on paper. Kansas cut most of its filing fees effective February 27, 2026, published in the Kansas Register (Vol. 45, Issue 7), so older guides are full of stale numbers. The $50 online and $55 mail fees from the annual report era no longer apply, and the $5 figure that sometimes gets quoted is only the online line item under K.A.R. 7-16-1, not the total the state collects. The statutory base is $80 under K.S.A. 17-76,139(f); the rest is regulatory add-ons.

Fees differ by entity type. For-profit corporations pay $100 online or $110 on paper. Not-for-profit corporations pay a flat $80, which the 2026 fee update left unchanged.

Confirm this is your filing year by matching your formation year's parity, even or odd, to the calendar year.
Gather what the report asks for. A domestic LLC lists its name, its principal office address (a PO box is not accepted there), and the members holding 5 percent or more of its capital. Foreign LLCs report the company name only.
File online through the official Kansas annual report portal, or use the paper form from the Secretary of State's information report page. One exception: a series of an LLC cannot file online and must submit the paper form.
Pay the fee, $90 online or $110 by mail.
Save your confirmation, then check your entity's record with the Secretary of State to make sure it shows as current.

One thing the report cannot do is change your registered agent. The Kansas report has no agent field at all, so an agent update is always a separate filing. We walk through that on our change of agent page.

Late Penalties and Forfeiture

Missing the April 15 deadline triggers a $10 penalty under K.A.R. 7-16-1. The real damage starts 90 days later. An LLC still delinquent at that point forfeits its articles of organization under K.S.A. 17-7509 and 17-7510, and reinstatement through K.S.A. 17-76,146 requires filing every past-due report for the preceding ten years plus the accumulated fees and penalties. A foreign LLC on the same 90-day clock forfeits its authority to do business in Kansas.
