What Indiana asks of a business
Indiana has a flat 3% personal income tax, a 4.9% corporate income tax and a 7% state sales tax (about 7% combined with local rates). An LLC in the state faces a business entity report of $30, due Biennial, anniversary month. The table below is what we check first on every Indiana engagement.
| Indiana at a glance | What applies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Personal income tax | A flat 3% personal income tax | Flat rate on taxable income (2025 table) |
| Corporate income tax | A 4.9% corporate income tax | Flat corporate rate (2026 table) |
| Sales tax | A 7% state sales tax (about 7% combined with local rates) | Combined figure is the population-weighted average with local rates (2026 table) |
| LLC fees | Formation $95; A business entity report of $30, due Biennial, anniversary month | $30 |
| Corporation fees | Annual report | Corporations file an annual report with the state; fee and date confirmed at engagement |
| S-corp election | Federal election recognised | Federal S election recognised; a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election may be available, confirmed at engagement |

Things Indiana owners get wrong
The federal return is only half the job. Indiana's a flat 3% personal income tax reaches pass-through owners through their personal return, and the entity itself faces a business entity report of $30, due Biennial, anniversary month. Federal S election recognised; a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election may be available, confirmed at engagement.
Nobody sets out to miss these. They are missed because a seasonal preparer handles the federal return in April and nobody owns the state calendar for the rest of the year. We keep the calendar.

Pricing in Indiana
Business returns from $99, quoted by entity and complexity before any work starts. Indiana state or entity filings are quoted with the federal return, so there is one number, not a list of add-ons. Late years are priced per year. Catch-up bookkeeping, where needed, is a fixed project quoted after a free review.
We do not write "guaranteed", "maximum refund" or "IRS-approved" anywhere, because no honest preparer can. We prepare returns correctly and keep the confirmations.
Indiana questions people ask first
Do I need to file a Indiana state return for my LLC?
Usually yes. Indiana has a flat 3% personal income tax, so LLC and S-corp income flows to the owner's Indiana return, and the entity may have its own filing. We prepare both with the federal return.
When is my Indiana business return due?
Federal 1120-S and 1065 returns are due March 16, 2026 (September 15 on extension); 1120 and Schedule C returns April 15 (October 15 on extension). Indiana entity filings run on their own calendar: a business entity report of $30, due Biennial, anniversary month. We track both.
I own a Indiana LLC but live outside the US. What do I file?
A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 attached to a pro forma Form 1120, which cannot be e-filed and carries a $25,000 penalty if missed. We prepare it, fax-file it and keep the transmission report. Multi-member LLCs file Form 1065 with K-1s.
Does Indiana recognise my federal S-corp election?
Yes. Federal S election recognised; a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election may be available, confirmed at engagement
What if I am behind by a year or more?
We prepare each open year, rebuild the books if needed, and include a written reasonable-cause request for penalty relief where one applies. Penalty relief is the IRS's decision; we prepare the request and do not promise the outcome.
Who prepares and signs my return?
A team of Certified Accountants, CPAs and Enrolled Agents working from New York and Mumbai. A US-credentialed preparer reviews and signs. Replies within 8 hours, one point of contact.
