Year-1 input$199
Input for year 2 on$199/yr

Input $199, renewal $199, state fee separate

Mainstay Filing comes first because one $199 input includes formation, registered agent service and every business entity report.

The $200 premium over IN Registered Agent.org at year three buys coverage, and coverage decides the order.

Preparing the business entity report is never your job, and only the $32 state fee gets added.

State fees over three years$127Inputs added together
The state's three-year figure is a sum of three kinds of charge: the filing fee, the reports owed in years two and three, and a minimum tax where the state levies one. Costs with no fixed amount, such as publication in a newspaper, are noted in the text and left out of the sum.

Why result one is first

For Indiana, the deciding term was filing work in the price (27% of the formula), where Mainstay Filing came out ahead.

A business entity report filed on your behalf outweighed IN Registered Agent.org's smaller three-year result.

Add the EIN application as an input and Mainstay Filing's total passes IN Registered Agent.org's in year 2.
