How to File a Certificate of Limited Partnership in Indiana
Indiana limited partnerships consist of at least one general partner and one limited partner. The liabilities and debts of the partnership are assumed by the general partner, while the limited partner's liability stops at the amount he originally invested in the partnership. This form of partnership is taxed in the same way as general partnerships in Indiana. Each partner reports his income from the partnership on his personal income statement. Limited partnerships are required to file a certificate of organization with the Indiana Secretary of State's office.
