State fees: Kansas filing fee as charged at our checkout; yearly fee and five-year total from our state fee table (verified ). Biennial information report, $90 online ($110 paper), due April 15 every two years. The date holds whatever your tax year. An LLC formed in an even year files in even years, and one formed in an odd year files in odd years. Late: after a three-month grace period the LLC forfeits.

Due today with us$215.30$123.75 plus Kansas's $85, with the $6.55 card processing fee shown before you pay.

Kansas's fees are the same whoever files, so the fair comparison is year two, when the registered agent renews. Ours renews at $74.25, the same as the first year.
