Kansas information report deadline

Kansas LLCs file information reports every two years. The report is due by April 15 of the reporting year.

The reporting cycle depends on the entity’s formation or qualification year. Check the Secretary of State record and filing center instead of guessing.

What the report does

The information report updates the Secretary of State record. It is separate from:

Federal income tax
Kansas income tax
Kansas sales tax filings
Withholding filings
Unemployment insurance
City or county licenses
Professional license renewals
Operating agreement updates

Common mistakes

Calling it a yearly annual report

Kansas now uses an information report every two years for LLCs. Do not copy old annual-report language.

Using old fees

Older guides may show pre-2026 fees. Use the current fee schedule.

Waiting until April 15

File early enough to handle login, payment, and entity-record issues.

Assuming the resident agent handles it

Some agents send reminders or file reports as a paid service, but the LLC remains responsible.
