Kansas LLC & Corporation
Annual Report Requirements

Kansas Annual Report Overview

Every domestic and foreign entity registered in Kansas must submit an annual report to the Kansas Secretary of State. This statutory requirement applies to limited liability companies, business corporations, limited liability partnerships, and nonprofit institutions.

The filing validates that public records reflect your active registered agent, principal business office, and executive personnel. Kansas links its reporting deadlines directly to your tax year end. Missing your filing deadline places the entity in delinquent standing and initiates automatic forfeiture of your corporate charter within ninety days, jeopardizing liability protections and commercial banking relations.

When is the Kansas Annual Report Due?

Under Kansas Statutes Annotated Section 17-76,139, the annual report is due on or before the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of your entity tax year:

• Calendar Year Entities (Standard): If your fiscal year closes on December 31, your annual report is due on or before April 15 each year.
• Fiscal Year Entities: If your company operates on a non-calendar fiscal schedule, your filing cutoff falls on the 15th day of the 4th month following fiscal close (for instance, a June 30 fiscal close creates an October 15 filing deadline).
• Filing Window: The Secretary of State allows electronic filings to be submitted up to ninety days prior to your statutory due date.

Consequences of Entity Forfeiture

When an entity is forfeited by the Kansas Secretary of State, it immediately loses its legal standing to conduct commercial operations or enforce contracts within state courts. Counterparties can challenge corporate veil protections, and exclusive rights to the legal business name become available for claim by competitors.
