You can set up accounts for withholding taxes and sales and use tax. This business tax application can also be completed by hand using Form BT-1.<\/p>\n<h3>State Business Tax<\/h3>\n<p>If the LLC is a C corporation with the IRS, the LLC pays a state business tax. The corporate tax rate is 4.9%. If the LLC is a pass-through business entity, the members report profits and losses on their personal income tax returns.<\/p>\n<p>If the LLC is a pass-through tax entity, the members report LLC profits and losses on their personal tax returns, and there is no state tax on the LLC itself. However, if the LLC elects for C corporation status with the IRS, the LLC pays a state tax.<\/p>\n<h3>State Employer Tax<\/h3>\n<p>If your LLC has employees, you set up an Indiana employer tax account as part of the new business registration on the Indiana INBiz website or by using Form BT-1. It may direct you to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/dor\/online-services\/intime-tax-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign up for INTIME online<\/a>, the Indiana Department of Revenue tax portal.<\/p>\n<h3>Sales and Use Taxes<\/h3>\n<p>If your LLC sells goods in Indiana, you indicate that when registering your business tax account. As the seller, you collect the sales tax from the purchaser and remit it to the state.<\/p>\n<h3>Business Licenses and Permits<\/h3>\n<p>Check with your town or county for business licenses and permit requirements. Depending on your type of business, for example, a restaurant selling food to the public, you need specific local business licenses and\/or permits.<\/p>\n<h3>Registration in Other States<\/h3>\n<p>If you want your LLC to operate in other states, you must register your LLC as a foreign LLC authorized to do business in that state. Additionally, you must follow that state&#8217;s rules for registering business tax accounts, especially if you hire employees and have a business in that state.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"biennial\"><\/a>Biennial Requirements in Indiana<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of annual reports, Indiana LLCs must file a biennial business entity report with the Secretary of State to remain in good standing. File this report online through your INBiz account or complete Indiana Business Entity Report, Form 48725. File your biennial Business Entity Report every other year in the month you formed the LLC. For example, if you created your LLC on July 1, 2022, you file the report during the month of July 2024.<a id=\"qa-accordion-content\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"fl-faq\">\n    <div\n            class=\"fl-accordion fl-faq-container fl-container\"\n            id=\"faq\"\n            data-testid=\"fl-accordion\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"fl-faq-heading-row fl-flex\">\n            <ul\n                    class=\"fl-faq-buttons fl-flex fl-flex-row fl-items-center fl-no-spacing\"\n                    aria-label=\"View all Frequently Asked Questions\"\n            >\n                <li class=\"fl-faq-buttons-item\">\n                    <button\n                            id=\"button-show-faq\"\n                            data-testid=\"button-show-faq\"\n                            class=\"fl-accordion-filter-button fl-accordion-filter-button-show\"\n                            type=\"button\"\n                            data-focus-other-button=\"true\"\n                            aria-current=\"true\"\n                            aria-disabled=\"true\"\n                            disabled=\"\"\n                    >\n                        Show All\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/li>\n                <li><span aria-hidden=\"true\">|<\/span><\/li>\n                <li class=\"fl-faq-buttons-item\">\n                    <button\n                            id=\"button-hide-faq\"\n                            data-testid=\"button-hide-faq\"\n                            class=\"fl-accordion-filter-button fl-accordion-filter-button-hide\"\n                            type=\"button\"\n                            data-focus-other-button=\"true\"\n                            aria-current=\"true\"\n                            aria-disabled=\"true\"\n                            disabled=\"\"\n                    >\n                        Hide All\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fl-faq-questions\">\n            <h3\n                    class=\"fl-faq-title fl-no-margin\"\n                    data-testid=\"fl-faq-title\"\n            >\n                FAQs About Indiana LLC Formation\n            <\/h3>\n                            <div\n                        class=\"fl-accordion-item\"\n                        id=\"section-1-faq\"\n                        aria-labelledby=\"button-1-faq\"\n                        data-testid=\"fl-accordion-item\"\n                >\n                    <h4\n                            class=\"fl-accordion-header fl-flex fl-items-center fl-justify-between fl-no-margin\"\n                            data-testid=\"fl-faq-question-header-1\"\n                    >\n                        <button\n                                id=\"button-1-faq\"\n                                aria-expanded=\"true\"\n                                aria-controls=\"content-1-faq\"\n                                class=\"fl-accordion-button fl-accordion-button-h4 fl-flex fl-flex-auto fl-justify-between is-opened fl-text-underline\"\n                                type=\"button\"\n                        >\n                            How much does an LLC cost in Indiana?\n                            <span aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <i\n                                        class=\"fa fa-angle-down small\"\n                                        aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                                ><\/i>\n                            <\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/h4>\n                    <div\n                            class=\"fl-accordion-content active\"\n                            data-testid=\"fl-faq-question-content-1\"\n                            id=\"content-1-faq\"\n                            role=\"region\"\n                            aria-labelledby=\"button-1-faq\"\n                    >\n                        <p><a id=\"cost\"><\/a>To file the initial paperwork for your LLC, the articles of organization, the online fee is $95.
