Nebraska lesson 6 of 6
Open a bank account and file your biennial report
Once your Nebraska LLC is formed and its publication requirement is complete, two things keep it in good standing going forward: a properly separated bank account and the biennial report filed with the Secretary of State.
Opening the account
Bring your confirmed Certificate of Organization, EIN confirmation letter, proof of publication, an operating agreement if you have adopted one, and identification for signers and significant owners. Keep business income and expenses in this account rather than mixing them with personal funds.
Filing the biennial report
Nebraska LLCs file a biennial report with the Secretary of State rather than an annual one, due in odd-numbered years. The report confirms or updates the registered agent, registered office and basic entity information on file. Fee amounts and exact delinquency dates for the biennial report are set by the Secretary of State and can change, so confirm the current figure directly on the Secretary of State's Annual/Biennial Reporting page before you file rather than relying on a fee quoted elsewhere.
Because the report is biennial rather than annual, it is easy to lose track of the correct filing year. Check the Secretary of State's Annual/Biennial Reporting page each odd-numbered year to confirm your due date and fee.
If you miss it
An LLC that fails to file its biennial report risks administrative dissolution by the Secretary of State. A dissolved LLC can generally apply for reinstatement by filing the outstanding reports and fees, but it loses good standing and the protection of its name in the meantime. Confirm the current reinstatement process on the Secretary of State's site.
Key takeaways
- Keep a dedicated business bank account separate from personal funds.
- The biennial report is due in odd-numbered years; confirm the current fee and deadline on the Secretary of State's site.
- Missing the biennial report risks administrative dissolution, with reinstatement available afterward.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Nebraska LLC report annual or biennial?
Biennial. Nebraska LLCs file a biennial report in odd-numbered years rather than an annual report. Confirm the current fee and exact deadline on the Secretary of State's Annual/Biennial Reporting page.
What happens if my Nebraska LLC misses the biennial report?
The LLC risks administrative dissolution. You can generally apply for reinstatement by filing the missing reports and paying the associated fees, but the LLC is not in good standing until the Secretary of State processes the reinstatement.
