Andy Cracchiolo Question on holding a property in an LLC out of state
16 May 2018 | 1 reply
.- No annual report- No Annual Fee- No state income tax (c corp filing for tax not s corp pass thru)My question is basically, will I need to file biennial in Indiana if i register as foreign entity in Indiana (I assume this would be necessary to have a rental property with income in that state)I am less worried about the fee's for registering, but more curious about ongoing maintenance.From my perspective, if i have to spend a bit more money to register as a foreign entity in Indiana, but I don't have to file each year, the extra cost would be worth it to keep this thing low maintenance.Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.Thanks!
