WAIT! YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR FREE ONLINE TAX FILING! The majority of Indiana taxpayers file electronically every year. Consider the benefits of filing electronically: • Faster Refund. Electronic filing reduces errors and expedites refund time - within 10 to 14 days (compared with 10 to 12 weeks for a paper return). • Fewer Errors. Up to 20 percent of paper-filed returns have errors, which can result in delays and possible penalty and/or interest for the taxpayer. Returns filed electronically, however, are 98 percent accurate. • Easier Filing. You won't have to complete the many complicated forms in this booklet. Instead, you go online, answer some easy questions, and before you know it your taxes are complete. You may be eligible to file your taxes online for FREE with INfreefile. Go to www.in.gov/dor/i-am-a/individual/infreefile to see if you qualify or learn more about INfreefile on page 4. SP 258
Which Indiana Tax Form Should Y ou File? Indiana has three different individual income tax returns. Read the following to find the right one for you to file. Form IT-40 for Full-Year Residents Use Form IT-40 if you (and your spouse, if married filing jointly) were full-year Indiana residents. Form IT-40PNR for Part-Year and Full-Year Nonresidents Use Form IT-40PNR if you (and your spouse, if married filing jointly): • Were Indiana residents for less than a full-year or not at all, or • Are filing jointly and one was a full-year Indiana resident and the other was not a full-year Indiana resident, and • Do not qualify to file Form IT-40RNR. Form IT-40RNR for Full-Year Residents of Reciprocal States Use Form IT-40RNR if you (and your spouse, if married filing jointly) were: • Full-year residents of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, and • The only type of income from Indiana was from wage, tip, salary or other compensation.* *Y ou are required to file Form IT-40PNR if you have any other kind of Indiana-source income. Note. If you have income that is being taxed by both Indiana and another state, you may have to file a tax return with the other state. Military Personnel See the instructions on page 7 to determine which form to file. Military personnel stationed in a combat zone should see the instructions on page 7 for extension of time to file procedures. 2025 Changes Conformity Updates. Line 36A of Form IT-40PNR, Schedule A, assumes conformity with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and in effect on Jan. 1, 2023. If the 2026 Indiana General Assembly does not conform to the most current changes to the Internal Revenue Code, you may have to amend your tax return at a later date to reflect any differences between Indiana and federal law. Y ou may wish to periodically check DOR's homepage at www.in.gov/dor for updates.

Special Note for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21) On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P .L. 119-21) was signed into law. At this time, Indiana follows the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on Jan. 1, 2023. As a result, Indiana currently does not follow the provisions of P .L. 119-21, and the instructions in this booklet reflect the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on Jan. 1, 2023. The instructions may reflect minor inclusions of P .L. 119-21 solely to explain clarifying adjustments. The Indiana General Assembly in 2026 may enact changes that partially or wholly adopt the provisions of P .L. 119-21. If any changes are adopted, the department will provide updated guidance after the changes are enacted.

Ready to File Y our Return? Use an Electronic Filing Program A majority of Hoosier taxpayers use an electronic filing program to file their state and federal individual income tax returns every year. Electronic filing provides Indiana taxpayers the opportunity to file their federal and state tax returns immediately, and receive their Indiana refunds in about half the time it takes to process a paper return. It takes even less time if you use direct deposit, which deposits your refund directly into your bank account. Even if there is an amount due on either return, Indiana taxpayers can still file electronically and feel comfortable knowing that the returns were received by the IRS and the Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR). Use an electronic vendor or contact your tax preparer to see if they provide this service. INfreefile This tax season Indiana continues to offer a free tax filing service through the cooperation of the Free File Alliance. Eligible Indiana taxpayers can file both the federal and Indiana individual tax returns using highly interactive and easy-to-use web-based applications that speed both returns and refunds. Y ou can choose from a list of multiple vendors that provide this free service. DOR estimates nearly 2 million Indiana taxpayers are eligible for this free service. See if you are eligible by visiting www.in.gov/dor/i-am-a/individual/infreefile. Filing an Amended (Corrected) Tax Return If you need to amend (correct) your 2025 individual income tax return after you initially filed: • Prepare another IT-40PNR return that reflects all changes and check the " Amended" box on the front page. Failure to do so can delay processing. • Include a copy of all required schedules reflecting all changes and documentation. Failure to do so can delay processing. • File the amended return electronically, if possible. Note. All amounts previously paid should be reported as an estimated payment. All refunds previously received should not be reported on an amended filing. If you are filing an amended return for 2025 reporting additional tax and you previously received a refund, DOR will issue either a notice of
proposed assessment or demand for payment to request repayment of the refund plus interest and penalty. The Form IT-40PNR and supporting schedules are located at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current. For prior years, please see the instructions for that year. Before Y ou Begin Important. Y ou must complete your federal tax return first. Filling in the Boxes - Please Use Ink If you are filling out the form by hand, please use black or blue ink and print your letters and numbers neatly within each box. If you do not have an entry for a particular line, leave it blank. Do not use dashes, zeros or other symbols to indicate that you have no entry for that line. Social Security Number Be sure to enter your full 9-digit Social Security number in the boxes at the top of the form. If filing a joint return, enter your Social Security number in the first set of boxes and your spouse's full 9-digit Social Security number in the second set of boxes. An incorrect or missing Social Security number can increase your tax due, reduce your refund, or delay timely processing of your filing. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) If you already have an ITIN, enter it wherever your Social Security number is requested on your tax return. If you are in the process of applying for an ITIN, check the box located directly beneath the Social Security number area at the top of the form. For information on how to get an ITIN, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-3676 and request federal Form W-7, or find it online at www.irs.gov. Name and Suffix Please use all capital letters when entering your information. For example, Jim Smith Junior should be entered as JIM SMITH JR. Name. If your last name includes an apostrophe, do not use it. For example, enter O'Shea as OSHEA. If your name includes a hyphen, use it. For example, enter SMITH-JONES. Suffix. Enter the suffix associated with your name in the appropriate box. • Use JR for junior and SR for senior. • Numeric characters must be replaced by alphabetic Roman Numerals. For example, if your last name is Charles 3rd, do not use 3rd; instead, enter III in the suffix field. • Do not enter any titles or designations, such as M.D., Ph. D., RET., Minor or DEC'D. Married Filing Requirements • Married Filing Jointly If you filed your federal income tax return as married filing jointly, you also must file married filing jointly with Indiana. • Married Filing Separately If you file your federal income tax return as married filing separately, you must also file as married filing separately with Indiana. Enter both of your Social Security numbers in the boxes on the top of the form, and then check the box directly to the right of those boxes. Enter the name of the person filing the return on the top line, but do not enter the spouse's name on the second name line. • Married Persons Who Live Apart Filing Status If you were not divorced or legally separated during the tax year you may have qualified for and filed as 'head of household' on your federal income tax return. If you did, do not check the married filing separately box. Also, do not enter either your spouse's name or Social Security number. Military Address Overseas military addresses must contain the APO, FPO designation in the "city" field along with a two-character "state" abbreviation of AE, AP , or AA and the ZIP code. Place these two- and three-letter designations in the city name area. ZIP/Postal Code Enter your five- or nine-digit ZIP code (do not use a dash). For example, enter 46217 or 462174540. If filing with a foreign address, enter the associated postal code. Foreign Country Code Complete this area if the address you are using is located in a foreign country. Enter the 2-character foreign country code, which may be found online at County Information Enter the two-digit code numbers for the county(s) where you and your spouse, if filing jointly, lived and worked on Jan. 1, 2025. Y ou can find these code numbers on the chart found on the back of Schedule CT-40PNR. See the instructions beginning on page 59
for more information, including the definitions of the county where you live and work, details for military personnel, retired individuals, homemakers, unemployed individuals, out-of-state filers, etc. Refund Check Address Y our refund check will be issued in the name(s), address and Social Security number(s) shown on your tax return. It is very important that this information is correct and legible. Any wrong information will delay your refund. Rounding Required Each line on which an amount can be entered has " .00" already filled in. This is to let you know that rounding is required when completing your tax return. Y ou must round your amounts to the nearest whole dollar. To do this, drop amounts of less than $0.50. Example. $432.49 rounds down to $432.00. Increase amounts of $0.50 or more to the next higher dollar. Example. $432.50 rounds up to $433.00. Losses or Negative Entries When reporting a loss or negative entry, use a negative sign. Example. Write a $125 loss as -125.
Commas Do not use commas when entering amounts. For instance, express 1,000 as 1000. Enclosing Schedules, W-2s, I N K-1s, Etc. Use only DOR-issued or DOR-permitted forms and schedules. Failure to use correct forms and schedules could result in disallowance of deductions or credits and will delay processing your return. Y ou will find an enclosure sequence number in the upper right-hand corner of each schedule. Make sure to put your completed schedules in sequential order behind the IT-40PNR when assembling your tax return. Do not staple or paper clip your enclosures. If you have a schedule on which you've made no entry, do not enclose it unless you have completed information on the back of it. Also, enclose: • All W-2s, 1099s, Forms I N-MSID-A and I N K-1s on which Indiana state and/or county tax withholding amounts appear • All I N K-1s on which pass through entity tax amounts appear • All 1099Gs showing unemployment compensation • A check/money order, if applicable A note about your W-2s. It is important that your W-2 form is readable. The income and state and county tax amounts withheld are verified on every W-2 form that comes in with your tax return. We encourage you to enclose the best copy available when you file. Who Should File? Y ou may need to file an Indiana income tax return if: • Y ou lived in Indiana and received income, or • Y ou lived outside Indiana and had any income from Indiana. Filing Status Requirement. If you and your spouse file a joint federal tax return, you must file a joint tax return with Indiana. If you and your spouse file separate federal tax returns, you must file separate tax returns with Indiana. Note. There are three types of Indiana tax returns available. The type you need to file is generally based on your residency status. Read the following to decide if you are a full-year resident, part-year resident, or nonresident of Indiana, and which type of return you should file. In addition, if you are an owner of a pass-through entity and filed Schedule I N-COMPA, you must file an Indiana tax return. Part-Year Residents and Full-Year Nonresidents If you were a part-year resident and received income while you lived in Indiana, you must file Indiana Form IT-40PNR, Part-Y ear Resident or Nonresident Individual Income Tax Return. Note. If you are filing as a full-year or part-year nonresident, proof of non-residency may be requested. Documents requested may include driver's license, proof of home ownership, or other proof of nonresidency. If you were a legal resident of another state(s) (exception: see next paragraph) and had income from Indiana (except certain interest, dividends, or retirement income), you must file Form IT-40PNR. Full-Year Residents of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin If you were a full-year resident of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, and your only income from Indiana was from wages, salaries, tips or commissions, then you need to file Form IT-40RNR, Indiana Reciprocal Nonresident Individual Income Tax Return. Full-Year Residents Full-year residents must file Form IT-40, Indiana Full-Y ear Resident Individual Income Tax. Y ou are a full-year Indiana resident if you maintain your legal residence in Indiana from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31 of the tax year. Y ou do not have to be physically present in Indiana the entire year to be considered a full-year resident. Residents, including military personnel, who leave Indiana for a temporary stay, are considered residents during their absence. Retired persons spending the part of the year in another state may still be full-year residents if: • They maintain their legal residence in Indiana and intend to return to Indiana during part of the taxable year • They retain their Indiana driver's license • They retain their Indiana voting rights • They claim a homestead deduction on their Indiana home for property tax purposes If you were a full-year resident of Indiana and your gross income (the total of all your income before deductions) was greater than certain exemptions*, you must file Indiana Form IT-40. * To figure your exemptions for filing requirement purposes, Indiana allows a $1,000 exemption for you and a $1,000 exemption for your spouse (if married filing jointly). Y ou also get a $1,000 exemption for each dependent you are eligible to claim. See instructions beginning on page 30 for additional information concerning how to figure your dependents. If your gross income is less than your total exemptions figured above, you are not required to file. However, you may want to file a return to get a refund of any state and/or county tax withheld by your employer, or other refundable credits, such as an earned income credit or estimated tax payment. Deceased Taxpayers If an individual died during 2025, or died after Dec. 31, 2025, but before filing his/her tax return, the executor, administrator or surviving spouse must file a tax return for the individual if: • The deceased was under the age of 65 and had gross income more than $1,000 • The deceased was age 65 or older and had gross income more than $2,000, or • The deceased was a nonresident and had gross income from Indiana. Be sure to enter the month and day of death for the taxpayer or spouse in the appropriate box located on Schedule H. For example, a date of death of Jan. 9, 2025, would be entered as 01/09/2025.
Note. The date of death should not be entered here if the individual died after Dec. 31, 2025, but before filing the tax return. The date of death information will be shown on the individual's 2026 tax return. Signing the Deceased Individual's Tax Return If a joint return is filed by the surviving spouse, the surviving spouse should sign his or her own name and after the signature write: "Filing as Surviving Spouse. " An executor or administrator appointed to the deceased's estate must file and sign the return (even if this isn't the final return), indicating their relationship after their signature (e.g. administrator). If there is no executor, or if an administrator has not been appointed, the person filing the return should sign and give their relationship to the deceased (e.g. "John Doe, nephew"). Only one tax return should be filed on behalf of the deceased. Note. DOR may ask for a copy of the death certificate, so please keep a copy with your records. Refund Check for a Deceased Individual If you (the surviving spouse, administrator, executor or other) have received a refund check and cannot cash it, visit the State Comptroller forms page at www.in.gov/comptroller/forms to get a widow's and distributee's affidavit (P O A-20) o r a reissuance of refund (I N-1310). Send the completed form and a copy of the death certificate to the State Comptroller so a refund check can be issued to you. Military Personnel - Residency If you were an Indiana resident when you enlisted, you remain an Indiana resident no matter where you are stationed. Y ou must report all your income to Indiana. If you changed your legal residence (military home of record) during the tax year, you are a part-year resident and should file Form
IT-40PNR. Y ou must also enclose a copy of Military Form DD-2058 with the tax return. As an Indiana part-year resident you will be taxed on the income you earned while you were a resident of Indiana, plus any income from Indiana sources. If you are stationed in Indiana and you are a resident of another state, you won't need to file with Indiana unless you have non-military income from Indiana sources. Example. Annie, who is a Kansas resident, is stationed in Indiana. She earned $1,300 from her Indiana part-time job. She will need to report that income to Indiana on Form IT-40PNR. If you are a full-year Indiana resident in the military, your spouse is a legal resident of another state and you filed a joint federal return, you will need to file Form IT-40PNR. Important. Refer to the instructions on page 59 for an explanation of county of residence for military personnel. When Should You File? Y our tax return is due April 15, 2026. If you file after this date and owe tax, you will owe interest on the unpaid amount and you may owe penalty, too. See page 12 for more information. Fiscal year tax returns are due by the fifteenth (15) day of the fourth (4th) month after the close of the fiscal year. Y ou must complete the fiscal year filing period information at the top of the form. Extension of Time to File - What if You Can't File on Time? Y ou must get an extension of time to file if you: • Are required to file, and • Y ou cannot file your tax return by the April 15, 2026, due date. Whether you owe additional tax, are due a refund, or are breaking even, you still need to get an extension if filing after April 15, 2026. Note. Indiana's Application for Extension of Time to File, Form IT-9, extends the filing date to Nov. 16, 2026. If Y ou Owe… Option 1. File Indiana's Application for Extension of Time to File, Form IT-9. This must be filed by April 15, 2026, for the extension request to be valid. Note. Y ou may file Indiana's Application for Extension of Time to File online if you make a payment with it by April 15, 2026. Pay electronically using DOR's e-services portal, the Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine (I N T I M E ), by visiting intime.dor.in.gov. I N T I M E offers customers the ability to manage their accounts in one convenient location, 24/7. Option 2. Filing for a federal application for extension of time to file with the IRS will automatically provide for a state extension of time to file. Y ou must file your state tax return by Nov. 16, 2026, paying any balance due with that filing. While interest is due on any amount paid after the original April 15 due date, penalty will be waived if both of the following conditions are met: • The remaining balance due is paid in full by Nov. 16, 2026, and • Y ou paid at least 90% of the tax expected to be owed by the original April 15 due date. If Y ou Don't Owe… Y ou'll need to file for an extension if: • Y ou are due a refund, or • Y ou don't expect to owe any tax when filing your tax return, and • Y ou are unable to file your return by April 15, 2026. There are two ways to accomplish this: • If you have a federal extension (you filed Form 4868, or made an extension payment via an electronic filing method), you automatically have an extension with Indiana and do not have to file for a separate state extension (Form IT-9). • If you do not have a federal extension, file Form IT-9 by April 15, 2026.
Extension Filing Deadline Both state Form IT-9 and federal Form 4868 extend your state filing time to Nov. 16, 2026. Will Y ou Owe Penalty and/or Interest? Penalty will not be owed if you have: • Paid 90% of the tax you expect to owe by April 15, 2026, • Filed your tax return by Nov. 16, 2026, and • Paid any remaining amount due (including interest) with that filing. Interest is owed on all amounts paid after April 15, 2026. See page 12 for instructions on how to figure interest. Indiana's Extension of Time to File, Form IT-9 Pay electronically using DOR's e-services portal, the Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine (I N T I M E), by visiting intime.dor.in.gov. I N T I M E offers customers the ability to manage their accounts in one convenient location, 24/7. Alternatively, you may access Form IT-9 online at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current. Y ou may file Indiana's Application for Extension of Time to File online if you make a payment with it by April 15, 2026. Where to Report Y our Extension Payment Add your state extension payment to any estimated tax paid. Report the total on Schedule F , line 4. Military personnel on duty outside of the United States and Puerto Rico on the filing due date are allowed an automatic 60 day extension of time to file. A statement must be enclosed with the return verifying that you were outside of the United States or Puerto Rico on April 15, 2026. Military personnel in a presidentially declared combat zone have an automatic extension of 180 days after they leave the combat zone. In addition, if they are hospitalized outside the United States because of such service, the 180-day extension period begins after being released from the hospital. The spouse of such service member must use the same method of filing for both federal and Indiana (e.g. single or joint). When filing the return, write "Combat Zone" across the top of the form (above your Social Security number). Nonresidency and Income Taxable to Indiana A part-year resident owes tax on taxable income received from all sources while being a resident of Indiana. A part- or full-year nonresident also owes tax on income from Indiana sources as listed below while a legal resident of another state. Indiana income includes income from the following sources: 1. Winnings from Indiana casinos, pari-mutuel wagering, and lotteries; 2. Labor or services performed in Indiana, including salaries, wages, tips, commissions, etc.; 3. A farm, business, trade or profession doing business in Indiana; 4. Any real or personal property located in Indiana, including any income from the sale or exchange of property located in Indiana; 5. A partnership or an S corporation doing business in Indiana; 6. Stocks, bonds, notes, bank deposits, patents, copyrights, secret processes and formulas, goodwill, trademarks, trade brands, franchises, and other property where earnings are a part of an Indiana business; 7. Income from trusts and estates derived from Indiana sources and distributed to nonresident heirs; and 8. Pensions and most interest and dividends are taxed by your state of residence when you receive them. Note. If you were a full-year nonresident and your only income from Indiana sources was from pensions, interest and/or dividends (which were not a basic part of the business in Indiana) and/or unemployment compensation, you are not required to file an Indiana income tax return. Special Information for Nonresidents Receiving Income from Pass-Through Entities Partnerships, S corporations, and trusts and estates located in and/or doing business in Indiana are required to: • File an annual return, Form IT-65/Form IT-20S/Form IT-41; • Withhold Indiana state and county (when applicable) income tax on behalf of their nonresident partners/shareholders/ beneficiaries*; and, • Figure and pay (with the filing of that annual return and Schedule Composite) Indiana state and county income tax due on their individual nonresident partners/shareholders/beneficiaries.* * This withholding requirement does not apply to the residents of Oregon and Washington D.C., who are subject to and pay income taxes at 3% (.03) or higher to their resident state. Arizona residents are subject to withholding on the difference between the Indiana income tax rate and the Arizona income tax rate. Individuals who are included on the entities' Schedule Composite are not required to file an individual income tax return to report income from those entities with three exceptions: Exception 1. Form IT-40PNR must be filed and all taxable income reported if the pass-through entity withholds county tax on the nonresident partner, shareholder and/or beneficiary. See Form IT-65/ IT20S Schedule I N K-1, Part 1, line 12, or Form IT-41 Schedule I N K-1, Part 1, line 12. Exception 2. Form IT-40PNR must be filed and all taxable income reported if the individual has other taxable Indiana-source income that is not included on a Schedule Composite. Exception 3. Form IT-40PNR must be filed if the individual completed Schedule I N-COMPA. If you have any other Indiana-source income, you are required to file Form IT-40PNR, reporting both that income and any income already reported and taxed on Form IT-65/IT-20S/IT-41 (i.e., all Indianasource income). Any reference to Schedule Composite also includes Schedule PTET if the pass-through entity pays or credits PTET to partners/shareholders/ beneficiaries.
Reciprocal States: Special Filing and Income Reporting Instructions If you are a resident of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, and: • Y ou received wages, salaries, tips, or commissions from Indiana, you will not owe Indiana adjusted gross income tax on that income. However, you may owe a county tax. If this is the only type of income you received from Indiana, you should file Form IT-40RNR, reciprocal nonresident Indiana individual income tax return. See the "Need Tax Forms or Information Bulletins?" section on page 4 for options; or • Y ou received other types of Indiana-source income besides wages tips, salaries or commissions (see items 1 through 8 above), you must file Form IT-40PNR instead of Form IT-40RNR; or • Y ou received both Indiana-source income (see items 1 through 8 above) and wage income from Indiana, you must file form IT- 40PNR. The wage income will not be subject to Indiana adjusted gross income tax. However, see the county tax instructions for Reciprocal state residents on page 62 if these wages were earned in an Indiana county. Example. Fred and Deanna are full-year residents of Michigan, and filed a 2025 joint federal income tax return. During 2025 Fred received $10,000 winnings from an Indiana casino, and Deanna earned $55,000 wage income from an Elkhart, Indiana employer. Fred's casino winnings will be taxed by Indiana. Enter Fred's $10,000 winnings on Indiana Schedule A, line 20, Columns A and B. Deanna's wage income is not subject to Indiana adjusted gross income tax. Therefore, enter Deanna's wage income in Column A only. Note. See county tax instructions for Reciprocal state residents on page 62 to determine if county tax is due on her wage income. Completing Form IT-40PNR Line 1 - Income Taxed by Indiana Complete Indiana Schedule A: Income or Loss; Proration; and Adjustments to Income. Instructions for Schedule A begin on page 13. Carry the line 36B amount to line 1 on the front of Form IT- 40PNR. Make sure to enclose Schedule A when filing.
Line 2 - Add-Backs
Enter on this line any add-backs from Schedule B: Add-Backs. Instructions for Schedule B begin on page 17. Make sure to enclose Schedule B when filing.
Line 4 - Deductions
Enter on this line any deductions from Schedule C: Deductions. Instructions for Schedule C begin on page 21. Make sure to enclose Schedule C when filing.
Line 6 - Exemptions
Enter any exemptions from Schedule D: Exemptions on this line. Instructions for Schedule D begin on page 30. Make sure to enclose Schedule D when filing. Line 9 - County Tax Complete Schedule CT-40PNR to figure your county tax and enter it here. Instructions for Schedule CT-40PNR begin on page 60. Make sure to enclose Schedule CT-40PNR when filing.

Line 13 - Offset Credits Enter the total of any offset credits reported on Schedule G: Offset Credits on this line. Instructions for Schedule G begin on page 43. Make sure to enclose Schedule G when filing. Line 17 - Donation Check-Offs Enter on this line the total of any donations made on Schedule I N -DONATE. Make sure to enclose Schedule I N -DONATE, which is located at the bottom of Schedule F: Credits, when filing. See page 42 for more information. Line 19 - Amount to be Applied as a 2026 Estimated Tax Installment Payment Y ou should pay estimated tax during the 2026 tax year if: • Y ou have income that will not be subject to Indiana tax withholding, or • Y ou think the amount withheld will not be enough to pay your tax liability, and • Y ou expect to owe more than $1,000 when you file your tax return. The simplest and most efficient way to pay quarterly estimated taxes is by using I N T I M E at intime.dor.in.gov. I N T I M E offers a quick, safe and secure way to submit estimated payments, while providing the option to schedule payments and view payment history. By using this method, customers receive a confirmation number immediately without having to wait for mail to arrive or checks to clear. I N T I M E also provides the option to schedule all four estimated payments, up to a year in advance, to avoid penalties and never miss a deadline again. Any awaiting payment(s) in I N T I M E will remain "pending" until the scheduled payment date enabling customers to make changes or cancel at any time leading up to that date. Instructions on how to make estimated payments using I N T I M E are available in the I N T I M E User Guide for Individual Income Tax Customers at www.in.gov/dor/files/intime-individual-guide.pdf. If you file your individual return electronically, DOR will accept direct debit of up to four estimated payments. Alternatively, you may visit www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current
to get Form ES-40. Use the worksheet on Form ES-40 to see how much you will owe. Then, if you have an overpayment showing on line 18 of
your tax return, you can have some or all of the overpayment applied to next year's estimated tax account. To do so, enter any portion of the overpayment: • On line a, if you want to apply an amount to offset estimated county tax due (from Form ES-40 worksheet, line K). Also, enter the 2-digit county code from line K; and/or • On line b, if your spouse lived in a different county than you did on Jan. 1, 2026, and you want to apply an amount to offset your spouse's estimated county tax due (from Form ES-40 worksheet, line L). Also, enter the 2-digit county code from line L; and/or • On line c, if you want to apply an amount to offset your estimated state tax due (from Form ES-40 worksheet, line J). Example. Mark and Megan have a $420 overpayment, and want to apply $300 of it to their 2026 estimated tax account. Their worksheet from Form ES-40 has the following breakdown: • Line I (each installment payment) is $300; • Line J (portion that represents state tax due) is $270; and • Line K (portion that represents county tax due) is $30. They will enter $30 on line 19a (along with their 2-digit county code), $270 on line 19c, and the $300 total amount to be applied will be entered on line 19d. They will get a $120 refund ($420 overpayment minus $300 applied to their 2026 estimated tax account). Example. Stu wants to pay $500 in estimated tax for each installment period. He has a $30 overpayment on his tax return. He chooses to enter the full $30 overpayment on line 19c (Indiana adjusted gross income tax amount), and carries it to line 19d. (He may pay the $470 additional amount by using I N T I M E to make a secure electronic payment, or by printing Form ES-40 and filing it along with a check or money order.) Important. Estimated tax installment payments made for the 2026 tax year are due by: • April 15, 2026 (1st installment) • June 15, 2026 (2nd installment) • Sept. 15, 2026 (3rd installment) • Jan. 15, 2027 (4th installment) Any installment payment amount entered on line 19d will be considered to be paid on the day your tax return is filed (postmarked). For instance, an installment payment shown on a return filed on:
April 15, 2026, will be considered to be a 2026 first installment payment; June 3, 2026, will be considered to be a 2026 second installment payment; and July 22, 2026, will be considered to be a 2026 third installment payment. Note. Y ou may complete and mail the ES-40, Estimated Tax Payment form, along with your payment to DOR's return address on the form. Estimated payments can also be made online with an electronic bank payment (ACH/e-check) or Visa, MasterCard and Discover debit or credit cards by using DOR's e-services portal, the Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine (I N T I M E), at intime.dor.in.gov. See line 26 instructions on page 12 for details about payment options. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #3 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib03.pdf for additional information about estimated taxes. Line 20 - Penalty for Underpayment of Estimated Tax Y ou might owe a penalty for the underpayment of estimated tax if you did not have taxes withheld from your income and/or you did not pay enough estimated tax throughout the year. In fact, not properly paying estimated tax is one of the most common errors made in filing Indiana tax returns. Generally, if you owe $1,000 or more in state and county tax for the year that's not covered by withholding taxes, you need to be making estimated tax payments. Y ou might owe this penalty if: • The total of your credits, including timely made estimated tax payments, is less than 90% of this year's tax due or 100% of last year's tax due, ** or • Y ou underpaid the minimum amount due for one or more of the installment periods. If either of these cases apply to you, you must complete Schedule IT-2210 or IT-2210A to see if you owe a penalty or if you meet an exception. • If you owe this penalty, complete Schedule IT-2210 or IT-2210A and write the penalty amount on Form IT-40PNR, line 20. • If you meet an exception, complete Schedule IT-2210 or IT-2210A to show which exception was met. Include the completed form with your submission. *Y ou must have timely paid 100% of lines 8 and 9 of your 2024 IT-40 or IT-40PNR. Note: If last year's Federal adjusted gross income was more than $150,000 ($75,000 for married filing separately), you must pay 110% of last year's tax (instead of 100%) to meet this exception. **Farmers and fishermen should see the special instructions on page 11. Important. DOR will compute and assess the underpayment penalty where appropriate based on filing history and tax due. Should Y ou Use Schedule IT -2210 or Schedule IT -2210A?
Schedule IT-2210 should be used by individuals who receive income
(not subject to withholding tax) on a fairly even basis throughout the year. This schedule will help determine whether a penalty is due, or whether an exception to the penalty has been met. Example. Jim and Sarah together received $4,500 in pension income each month. Since their income is received on a fairly even basis, they'll use Schedule IT-2210 to figure their penalty or exception to the penalty. Farmers and fishermen have special filing considerations. If at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming or fishing, complete Schedule IT-2210, using the Section D Short Method.
Schedule IT-2210A may be used by individuals who receive income
(not subject to withholding tax) unevenly during the year. Also use this form if you had substantial changes in withholding during the year. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #3 available at
www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib03.pdf for further information. This schedule will help determine whether a penalty is due, or whether an exception to the penalty has been met.
Example. Bill's income is from selling fireworks in June and July. He will want to figure any penalty due on Schedule IT-2210A, which may exempt him from having had to pay estimated tax on the April 15, 2025, first installment due date. Example. Rachael received a sizable lump sum distribution in December of 2025. She figured how much estimated tax was due, and paid it in full by the Jan. 15, 2026, fourth period installment due date. By completing Schedule IT-2210A, she shows she owes no penalty for the first three installment periods, and that a proper payment was made for the fourth installment period. She will owe no penalty. Farmers and Fishermen. Special options are available if more than two-thirds of your gross income for 2024 and/or 2025 was from farming or fishing. Option 1. Pay your estimated tax in one payment on or before
Jan. 15, 2026, and file your tax return by April 15, 2026; or Option 2. Make no estimated tax payment and file your tax return and pay all the tax due by March 2, 2026. Example. More than two-thirds of Henry's gross income is from farming. He should complete Schedule IT-2210. Henry will be able to use the Section D Short Method to figure his penalty or to show he meets an exception to owing a penalty. Example. Henry had two-thirds of his income for 2023 from farming. In 2024 and 2025, Henry had less than two-thirds of his income from farming or fishing. Henry can use the special option for farmers or fisherman for 2024 because two-thirds of his previous-year income (2023) was from farming or fishing. Henry cannot use the special option for 2025 because less than two-thirds of his income for both 2024 and 2025 was from farming or fishing. Visit our website at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current to get Schedule IT-2210 or Schedule IT-2210A.
Line 20a
Enter Code A if you are computing your penalty using Form IT-2210A. Enter Code F if you are reporting estimated tax as a farmer or a fisherman.
Line 21 - Refund
Y ou have a refund if line 18 is greater than the combined amounts entered on lines 19d and 20. Important. If the combination of line 19d plus line 20 is greater than the amount on line 18, you must make an adjustment. The estimated tax carryover amount on line 19d is limited; it cannot be greater than the remainder of line 18 minus line 20. See the second example about Stu under the Line 19 instructions on page 10. A Note About Refund Offsets Indiana law requires that money you owe to the state, its agencies, and certain federal agencies, be deducted from your refund or credit before a refund is issued. This includes money owed for past-due taxes, student loans, child support, SNAP benefits or an IRS levy. If DOR applies your refund to state or federal tax debts, you will receive a letter from DOR explaining the situation. If DOR applies your refund
to debts owed to other state or federal agencies, any notification you receive will be from the other agency. When to Expect Y our Refund Generally, 10 to 14 business days is the average wait for a refund if the tax return is electronically filed; it can take up to 12 weeks for the refund to be issued if you mail a paper tax return. A refund may take longer under certain circumstances. The most common incidents are when businesses supply withholding statements (such as W-2, 1099-R, Schedule I N K-1, etc.) late and when the return reports a Schedule C loss. Where's Y our Refund? There are several ways to check the status of your refund. Y ou will need to know the exact amount of your refund, and a Social Security number entered on your tax return. Then, do one of the following: • Go to www.in.gov/dor/i-am-a/individual/check-refund and click Check the Status of Y our Refund. • Call 317-232-2240 for automated refund information; to speak to a representative, please call during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. • Go to I N T I M E at intime.dor.in.gov and click "Where's my refund?" A refund directly deposited to your bank account may be listed on your bank statement as a credit, deposit, etc. If you have received information from DOR that your refund has been issued, and you are not sure if it has been deposited in your bank account, call the ACH Section of your bank or financial institution for clarification. Important. If we are unable to deposit your refund to the listed account (incorrect/incomplete account numbers; account closed; refund to go to an account outside the United States; etc.), DOR will mail a paper check to the address on the front of the tax form. Note. A refund deposited directly to your Hoosier Works MasterCard account will appear on your monthly statement. Statute of Limitations for Refund Claims There is a statute of limitations when filing for a refund of overpaid taxes for tax year 2025. In general, a claim for refund must be made by April 17, 2029 (Nov. 15, 2029 if filing under extension). The claim for refund is considered to be made on the day your tax return is postmarked. If you file your 2025 tax return after the statute of limitations has expired, no refund will be issued.
Line 22 - Direct Deposit
Y ou may choose to have your refund deposited in your checking, savings or Hoosier Works Master Card account. If you want your refund directed into your checking or savings account, complete lines 22 a, b, c and d. Caution.

General Information
Income received from Indiana sources should be reported as Indiana income by nonresidents, except certain types of Indiana-source income that are subject to tax only by your state of residence at the time you receive it. For part-year residents, the portion of the following types of income from Indiana sources that were received while a nonresident should not be reported as income taxed by Indiana: interest from bonds, dividends, unemployment compensation, and gains from the sale of stock, bonds, or other securities. However, gains from real or tangible personal property located in Indiana should be reported as income taxed by Indiana. In addition, if you receive income from a pass through entity (e.g., an S corporation or partnership) that conducts business in Indiana, your share of the entity's income derived from Indiana sources should be reported as income taxed by Indiana. For full-year nonresidents, the portion of the following types of income from Indiana sources should not be reported as income taxed by Indiana: interest from bonds, dividends, unemployment compensation, and gains from the sale of stocks, bonds, or other securities. Example. The distributive share of income received from an S corporation doing business in Indiana must be reported by nonresidents as income taxable in Indiana to the extent the S corporation is doing business in Indiana. Example. Interest income received by an Illinois resident from an Indiana personal savings account is not income taxable to Indiana. Read the following line-by-line instructions for more information. Also, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #28 at
www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib28.pdf for more information.

Fiduciary*. If you are a nonresident, the Indiana fiduciary(s) should provide to you an apportioned amount to be taxed by Indiana on Schedule I N K-1. If the fiduciary does not apportion its income, then enter in Column B the same amount as you entered in Column A. Partnership and S Corporation*. If you are a nonresident, the Indiana partnership/S corporation should provide to you an apportioned amount to be taxed by Indiana on Schedule I N K-1. If that Indiana entity does not apportion the income, then enter in Column B the same amount from that entity(s) as you entered in Column A. Schedule A, Section 1: Income or Loss Continued
Y ou will need to include Schedule I N K-1 with the filing for the Indiana income tax return, and report any withholding amounts from that schedule on Indiana's Schedule F , lines 1 and 2. Note. See the instructions for tax add-back for Schedule B, line 1, on page 17. Line 16 - Farm Income or Loss Enter in Column A the farm income/loss from federal Schedule 1, line 6.

Note. If you are apportioning business income, make sure to: • Report the full amount from your federal return onto Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, Column A, and • Not report any of that income in the corresponding Column B. Instead, you will report the amount to be taxed by Indiana in Column B on this line. Example. Mark is a full-year nonresident of Indiana. His company did business both within Indiana and in other states. On Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, line 7, Column A, he reported the same amount of business income as he reported on his federal Schedule 1. He left line 7, Column B blank. He entered the amount apportioned to Indiana on Section 1, line 19, Column B.

List the source(s) of the income or loss reported on this line.
Schedule A Proration
The purpose of this section is to compare the Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, line 21A income taxed on your federal return to the line 21B income taxed by Indiana. To do this, divide the amount on line 21B by the amount on line 21A. Please round your answer to a decimal followed by three numbers. Example. $3,100 divided by $8,000 equals .3875, which rounds to .388. Enter the result here and on Schedule D: Exemptions, line 8. Note. If line 21B is a loss, enter zero (0) in Box 21D and on Schedule D: Exemptions, line 6.

Schedule A Section 2: Adjustments to Income Adjustments to income from federal Form 1040/1040-SR and federal Schedule 1. List the adjustments used in arriving at your federal adjusted gross income. Unless otherwise stated: • Enter in Column A your adjustments as they appear on your federal return; and • Enter in Column B the portion of your adjustments that are available to offset Indiana income tax. *Important information about possible year-end federal legislation. This publication was finalized before all year-end federal legislative changes were complete. Therefore, some of these adjustments may need to be eliminated and/or refigured. Y ou may wish to periodically check DOR's homepage at www.in.gov/dor for updates about any impact of late federal legislation. Line 22 - Educator Expense Enter in Column A any educator expense deduction claimed on your federal Schedule 1, line 11. Enter in Column B the portion of the expense that was spent while you were an Indiana resident. Line 23 - Certain Business Expenses of Reservists, Performing Artists, Etc. Enter in Column A the adjustment claimed for certain business expenses of reservists, performing artists and fee-based government officials claimed on your federal Schedule 1, line 12. Enter in Column B that portion of the deduction that is directly related to the reported income (in Section 1, Column B) produced in conjunction with those expenses. Line 24 - Health Savings Account Deduction If you are eligible to take this adjustment on your federal Schedule 1, line 13, you are also allowed the adjustment on your Indiana tax return. Enter the amount of the federal deduction in Column A. If some or all of the income on which this deduction was based is taxed by Indiana, then you will be able to take a deduction in Column B. Line 25 - Moving Expenses Y ou may have deducted moving expenses on your federal Schedule 1, line 14, if you are a member of the Armed Forces on active duty and, due to a military order, you moved because of a permanent change of station. Enter in Column A the amount of moving expense deduction reported on your federal Schedule 1, line 26. If Indiana is your home of record, report this amount in Column B. If it is not, leave Column B blank. Line 26 - Deductible Part of Self-Employment Tax Enter in Column A the amount claimed on federal Schedule 1, line 15. If some or all of the income on which this deduction was based is taxed by Indiana, then you will be able to take a deduction in Column B. If some or all of your self-employment tax is figured on income derived from other states as well as Indiana, you must prorate your total federal adjustment reported in Column A to arrive at the amount to be reported in Column B. Use the formula below to figure your deduction for Column B. Calculation IN self-employment income X Federal Adjustment (Column A) =
Indiana Deduction
(Column B)Federal self-employment income Line 27 - Payments to Self-Employed, SEP, SIMPLE and Qualified Retirement Plans Enter in Column A the deduction reported on your federal Schedule 1, line 16. Y ou are allowed a deduction in Column B (based on Indiana self-employment income reported in Column B of Section 1) for contributions to qualified self-employment retirement plans to the extent allowed in arriving at your federal adjusted gross income. If you have self-employment income derived from other states as well as Indiana, you must prorate your total federal adjustment reported in Column A between the other states and Indiana. Therefore, the allowable Indiana adjustment to be reported in Column B is limited to the percent of your federal adjustment that your Indiana selfemployment income bears to your total self-employment income.
Use the formula below to figure your deduction for Column B. Calculation IN self-employment income X Federal Adjustment (Column A) =
Indiana Deduction
(Column B)Federal self-employment income If both you and your spouse have Indiana self-employment income and qualify for the deduction on the federal return, you both are allowed a deduction on the Indiana tax return. Line 28 - Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction Enter in Column A the deduction claimed on your federal Schedule 1, line 17. If some or all of the income on which this deduction is based is taxed by Indiana, then you will be able to take a deduction in Column B. The income on which this deduction is based is from selfemployment income and certain income from partnerships and/or S corporations. If some or all of your self-employed health insurance deduction is figured on income derived from other states as well as Indiana, you must prorate your total federal adjustment reported in Column A to arrive at the amount to be reported in Column B.
Use the formula below to figure your deduction for Column B. Calculation IN source: self-employment income/certain income from partnerships and/or
S corporations X Federal Adjustment (Column A) =

Compensation includes wages, salaries, commissions, tips, professional fees, bonuses and other amounts you received for providing personal services. To figure the I R A adjustment for Column B, you must use the percentage that your Indiana compensation bears to your federal compensation. Use the formula below to figure your deduction for Column B. Calculation IN compensation X Federal Adjustment (Column A) =
Indiana Deduction
(Column B)Federal compensation Line 32 - Student Loan Interest Deduction Enter in Column A the student loan interest deduction reported on your federal Schedule 1, line 21. Enter in Column B the portion of the deductible interest paid while you were an Indiana resident. Line 33 - Reserved for Future Use
Line 34 - Other
Use this line to report certain deductions claimed on your federal income tax return for which no specific line was otherwise provided above when arriving at federal adjusted gross income. If you have written in allowable deductions on your federal Schedule 1, line 23 or 24, enter those amounts here. Following are two of the more commonly reported deductions: • Enter in Column A the Jury Duty Pay deducted on your federal Schedule 1, line 24a. Enter in Column B the jury duty pay turned over to your employer that is in direct relation to the salary being taxed by Indiana (included in the Section 1 line 21, Column B total). • Enter in Column A the Archer MSA Deduction deducted on your federal Schedule 1, line 23. Enter in Column B the portion of the deduction that is directly related to the reported income in Section 1, Column B.
Schedule B: Add-Backs
Some amounts reported on your federal tax return may require different treatment for Indiana income tax purposes. Listed in this area are those items that may need to be added back on your Indiana tax return. Please review the list carefully. When reporting these addbacks, maintain with your records the corresponding federal tax forms and schedules as DOR can require you to provide them at a later date. Y ou may have to complete this schedule if: • Y ou were a nonresident and had Indiana-source income or loss; and/or • Y ou reported Indiana add-backs in prior years which impact this year's filing. Enter those amounts which have a direct relationship to Indiana taxation. Example. Juan lives in Illinois and owns and runs an Indiana farm. He will have to add back on line 1 any taxes based on or measured by income that were deducted on his federal Schedule F . Important Information About Possible Y ear-End Federal Legislation This publication was finalized before all year-end federal legislative changes were complete. Therefore, some of these add-backs may need to be adjusted. Y ou may wish to periodically check DOR's homepage at www.in.gov/dor for updates about any impact of late federal legislation. Treatment of Previously Discontinued Add-Back Several discontinued add-backs were created as a result of timing differences between federal and Indiana allowable expenses. See Certain Discontinued Add-Backs: How and When to Report a Final Catch-Up Modification on page 20 for information about these addbacks. Line 1 - Tax Add-Back If you did not complete Federal Schedules C, E or F , which include sole proprietorship income, farm income, rental, partnership, S corporation, and trust and estate income (or loss), then do not complete this line. On those schedules you are allowed to claim a deduction for taxes paid which are: • Based on, or • Measured by income, and • Levied at a state level by any state in the United States. If you claimed this kind of deduction on any of these schedules, then you must add it back to your Indiana income. Do not add back property taxes on this line. State-level pass through entity taxes that are deducted in determining your federal adjusted gross income should be added back on this line. If you subsequently receive a refund of those taxes, report the refund on this line as a deduction.
Schedule B: Add-Backs
Wagering Taxes. The portion of wagering taxes required to be added back as a tax based on or measured by income is being reduced (phased out). The percentage of taxes required to be added back is determined by the first date of the taxpayer's taxable year, and is determined as follows: 2020 - 75%; 2021 - 62.5%; 2022 - 50%; 2023 - 37.5% 2024 - 25.0%; 2025 - 12.5%; 2026 and later - no add back required. For example, Casino X deducts $10,000,000 in wagering taxes in 2025. Individual owns 10% of Casino X. Individual's share of Casino X's income taxes is $1,000,000. Instead of individual adding back the full $1,000,000, Individual will add back $125,000. Note. Income, losses and/or expenses from other schedules and forms may flow through to federal Schedules C, E and F . For example, partnership income from federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) may be included on federal Schedule E, while expenses from federal Form 8829 may be included on federal Schedule C. Make sure to check these schedules and forms for any deduction that needs to be added back. Line 2 - O O S Municipal Obligation Interest Add-Back Interest earned from a direct obligation of a state or political subdivision other than Indiana (out of state, or O O S) i s taxable by Indiana if: • The obligation is acquired after Dec. 31, 2011; and • Y ou received this income while being an Indiana resident. Interest earned from obligations held or acquired before Jan. 1, 2012, is not subject to Indiana income tax and should not be reported as an add-back. Note. Interest earned from obligations of Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or Northern Mariana is not included in federal gross income and is exempt under federal law. There is no addback for interest earned on these obligations. For more information about this add-back, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #19 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib19.pdf. Enter code 137 on Schedule B under line 5 if reporting this add-back. Line 3 - Bonus Depreciation Add-Back Y ou must make an modification for any bonus depreciation deduction used for property placed in service after Sept. 11, 2001. Bonus depreciation is the additional first-year special depreciation deduction allowed under Section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (I R C ). Figure the net income (or loss) that would have been included in federal adjusted gross income had the bonus depreciation method not been used. Then, enter the difference, which may be a positive or negative amount, on line 3. Example. Mack used the bonus depreciation method for federal income tax purposes to deduct $2,000. Absent bonus depreciation, he would have been entitled to a $500 depreciation deduction. After refiguring the depreciation without using the bonus method, he has to add back $1,500 on his Indiana tax return. Note. After making an initial adjustment for bonus depreciation you will need to refigure the amount of depreciation available for state tax purposes for subsequent years. Example. Ann made an initial adjustment for bonus depreciation on last year's Indiana tax return. This year she figures she is entitled to a $150 additional depreciation amount for state tax purposes. She should enter that amount as a negative entry, or -150, on line 3. Special rules may apply if the bonus depreciation is taken against property acquired in a like-kind exchange or acquired in a taxable year in which you have an excess business loss. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #118 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib118.pdf
for additional information. Line 4 - Section 179 Expense Add-Back Y ou may have figured an I R C Section 179 expense using a ceiling of more than $25,000 for federal tax purposes. Indiana allows you to figure I R C Section 179 expense using a ceiling of no more than $25,000. If you figured I R C Section 179 expense using a ceiling amount of more than $25,000, you will need to add back the difference between it and $25,000 on line 4. Special rules may apply if the bonus depreciation is taken against property acquired in a like-kind exchange or acquired in a taxable year in which you have an excess business loss. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #118 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib118.pdf
for additional information. Line 5 - Other Add-Backs Each of the following add-backs has been assigned a 3-digit code number. When reporting the add-back, write its name, the associated 3-digit number and the amount. Conformity Add-Back Before this publication was finalized Indiana had not conformed to any changes to the Internal Revenue Code (I R C ) that may have become law after Jan. 1, 2023. Therefore, the I R C used to figure Indiana income may not wind up being the same as the I R C used to figure federal income. This add-back is specific to these annual current year conformity issues. If uncertainty exists as to whether or not Indiana will adopt some or all of the federal legislation passed after Jan. 1, 2023, that acts to modify federal A G I , you may add-back those items as an "other" add-back. In the event those items are adopted, an amended return should be filed to recoup the add-back(s). Conformity Add-Back - Positive Entry 120 This add-back is only for: • Current year federal conformity issues, and • Add-backs required by Indiana legislation passed retroactively to years before 2025. Conformity issues for preceding tax years must be addressed on the add-back line specific to the item in question. If the state legislature does not conform to federal code changes enacted after Jan. 1, 2023, you may have to amend your return at a later date to
Schedule B: Add-Backs Continued
reflect any differences between Indiana and federal law. Y ou may wish to periodically check DOR's homepage at www.in.gov/dor for updates. Enter code 120 on Schedule B under line 5 if reporting this add-back. Conformity Add-Back - Negative Entry 147 This add-back generally is based on conformity issues arising from a previous year or on deductions enacted by Indiana legislation passed retroactively to years before 2025. However, in rare cases this can arise from conformity issues arising in the current year where the I R C t reats an item as taxable or nondeductible that was previously exempt or deductible. Enter code 147 on Schedule B under line 5 if reporting this add-back. Discharge of Debt Reduction of Net Operating Losses 155 If you have a net operating loss carryforward that is required to be reduced as a result of discharges of debt excluded from federal gross income and reported on Schedule N O L -MOD, list an amount necessary to use up any N O L carryforwards. To determine this amount, first complete the return as normal. Then, determine how much net operating loss carryforwards are required to be used as a result of debt discharge. The amount to be reported is the amount necessary to make Schedule C, line 9 equal to the sum of any Indiana net operating losses allowed for the current year plus any Indiana net operating losses required to be reduced due to debt discharges. Please complete Schedule N O L -MOD before entering an amount for Code 155. Employer Student Loan Payment Add-Back 148 If your employer paid any amount for your student loans and you excluded the payment from your federal gross income, add back the amount you excluded from your gross income. This amount must be added back regardless of whether your employer paid you the amount for your student loans or whether your employer paid the student loan on your behalf. Also see the instructions for the deduction for the Employer Student Loan Payment Interest Deduction on page 26. Add back only the portion excluded from federal gross income while you were an Indiana resident. Excess Federal Interest Deduction Modification 142 I R C Section 163(j) limits the federal interest deduction for most business interest to 30% (50% for 2019 and 2020 in certain cases) of adjusted taxable income plus business interest. However, Indiana has decoupled from this provision. Subtract an amount equal to the amount as a deduction for excess business interest under I R C Section 163(j) in the year in which the interest was first paid or accrued. If you are deducting any business interest carried over from a previous year, add the amount of this interest deducted. Enter code 142 on Schedule B under line 5 if reporting this add-back. Federal Repatriated Dividend Deduction Add-Back 139 Untaxed foreign earnings and profits are repatriated dividends that need to be reported when filing state taxes. Individuals should add back the deduction taken on federal Form 965, Line 17, and received while an Indiana resident. Enter code 139 on Schedule B under line 5 if reporting this add-back. For additional information see Income Tax Information Bulletin #116 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib116.pdf. Modifications for Excess Business Losses 151 If you: • Have a current-year excess business loss under I R C section 461(l) that is not deducted in determining your federal adjusted gross income and is derived at least in part from Indiana sources, • Have current-year federal deductions that: ο are disallowed in determining your current-year federal adjusted gross income, and ο for which an add-back is required for Indiana adjusted gross income tax purposes, use Code 151 to deduct the add-backs required for Indiana purposes. The most common examples will be bonus depreciation, I R C section 179 expensing, and the add-back for state and local taxes deducted in determining federal adjusted gross income. Do not report modifications arising from prior year Indiana modifications such as bonus depreciation catch-up modifications. First, if you have such add-backs, report the add-backs in the normal manner as if no excess business loss limitation was in effect under I R C section 461(l). Second, report the lesser of these add-backs required for Indiana purposes or the portion of excess business losses (Form 1040, Schedule 1, Line 8p) derived from Indiana sources as a Code 151 deduction. Also report this amount on Schedule N O L-MOD, Part 2. The Code 151 deduction will reduce the net operating loss carryforward allowable for Indiana purposes. Example. Bob has $100,000 of federal adjusted gross income, consisting of $370,000 salary and a $270,000 allowable loss from Partnership A. Bob has a $300,000 excess business loss disallowed from Partnership A. Bob's share of Partnership A 's income included $470,000 in losses other than bonus depreciation and $100,000 of bonus depreciation, of which only $270,000 of cumulative losses are allowed in the current year. Bob otherwise has an $80,000 bonus depreciation add-back for Indiana purposes. Bob will report the $80,000 add-back for bonus depreciation and also report an $80,000 deduction using Code 151. This will also result reduce the net operating loss for the current year to $220,000 ($300,000 excess business loss minus $80,000). Example. Bob has $100,000 of federal adjusted gross income, consisting of $370,000 salary and a $270,000 allowable loss from Partnership A. Bob has a $300,000 excess business loss disallowed from Partnership A. Bob's share of Partnership A 's income included $170,000 in losses other than bonus depreciation and $400,000 of bonus depreciation, of which only $270,000 of cumulative losses are allowed in the current year. Bob otherwise has a $320,000 bonus depreciation add-back for Indiana purposes. Bob will report the $320,000 add-back for bonus depreciation. However, because the excess business loss is less than the Indiana add-back, the Code 151 deduction is limited to the $300,000 excess business loss. The net operating loss for the current year will be zero.
Schedule B: Add-Backs Continued
Modifications from Excess Inclusion Income 153 If you: • Have a net operating loss for federal purposes incurred in the current taxable year that does not appear in your federal taxable income as a result of reporting excess inclusion income under I R C section 860E; • At least some portion of the unreported net operating loss is derived from Indiana sources; and • Have modifications to your Indiana adjusted gross income that are allowable in determining your Indiana net operating loss; use Code 153 to report the amount of modifications that are allowable in determining the portion of your net operating loss not already part of your adjusted gross income. In most cases this will equal the lesser of your net Indiana positive modifications otherwise required for your federal adjusted gross income or your excess inclusion income attributable to Indiana sources. Report the net modifications using the inverse of the signage for the underlying modifications. Also complete Schedule N O L-MOD, Part 2, to report this amount. Example. Individual A has a $100 of excess inclusion income. Individual A also has a $20,000 Indiana bonus depreciation add-back and a $50,000 net operating loss for federal purposes. The portion of net operating loss not directly reported for federal purposes is $100 (the excess inclusion income). Individual A will report the $20,000 add-back as bonus depreciation and a negative $100 using Code 153. The Code 153 in conjunction with other modifications will result in a $30,000 Indiana net operating loss. Do not report a Code 153 modification if: • The amount determined is positive (i.e., net deductions exceed net add-backs), or • Y ou do not have a federal net operating loss. Qualified Preferred Stock 113 If an individual: • Had losses from the sale or exchange of preferred stock in either Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; • Treated the loss from the sale or exchange as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes in the year the loss had been incurred; and • Had any amount previously added back that not been allowed as a deduction, the individual is permitted to continue deducting the loss not previously allowed as a capital loss. However, the amount allowable as a capital loss must be computed in accordance with federal limitations on allowable capital losses. See I R C sections 1211 and 1212 for further details on federal limitations. Enter code 113 on Schedule B under line 5 if reporting this add-back. Specified Research and Experimental Expenses Add-Back 154 If you claimed a federal income tax deduction for specified research and experimental expenses that are required to be amortized for federal purposes pursuant to I R C section 174, add back the amount of expenses you actually deducted for federal income tax purposes and attributed to Indiana sources. In the case of a deduction from a partnership or S corporation, this will be the amount apportioned to Indiana. See the instructions for Code 641 for further information on the amount of expenses allowable as a deduction. Note. If you are claiming a full federal deduction for domestic research expenses for 2025, do not enter an add-back using Code 154 for those expenses. If you are electing to claim a full federal deduction for domestic research expenses for 2022 through 2024 and amend your 2022-2024 federal income tax return, amend your Indiana income tax return to reverse any reported Code 154 add-backs based on those expenses and do not claim any further modifications after 2024. For other situations related to research and experimental expenses for 2022 through 2025, this will not be determined until the 2026 Indiana General Assembly session. If any changes are enacted, the department will provide guidance after any changes are enacted. Example. Individual A incurred $100,000 of specified research expenses in 2025. Individual A reported $10,000 of amortized expenses in 2025. Individual A will use Code 154 to add back the $10,000 claimed for federal purposes and use Code 641 to report $100,000 allowable for Indiana purposes. For 2026 through 2030, Individual A will continue to use Code 154 to report timing differences. Student Loan Discharge Add-Back 150 If you had a student loan discharged during the taxable year while you were an Indiana resident and you excluded the amount of the discharge from your federal gross income, add back the amount of discharged loans excluded from your federal gross income. Do not add back amounts discharged or repaid via: • The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. • The Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program. • The National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program. • Other programs that qualify under I R C section 108(f)(4). • A discharge granted to a borrower under the Closed School or Defense to Repayment discharge processes to the extent not included in federal gross income. • The death or total and permanent disability of the student. • The discharge of the student loan in bankruptcy. • If the student loan was discharged while the borrower was insolvent. However, the discharge is limited to the amount the borrower was insolvent. Further, if a loan is discharged under the other bullets, those discharges must be applied before the insolvency exception. Note. The amounts added back may include portions of student loans forgiven during 2025. This add-back applies to student loans forgiven under income-based repayment plan corrections. These loans are subject to the insolvency exception above. The exceptions listed above also apply to 2025 loan forgiveness even if the loan may not have been forgiven otherwise. Certain Discontinued Add-Backs: How and When to Report a Final Catch-Up Modification Required add-backs for the following modifications have been eliminated, effective Jan. 1, 2013: • Motorsports Entertainment Complex, Code 130 • Qualified Advance Mining Safety Equipment, Code 126 • Qualified Electric Utility Amortization, Code 135

• Qualified Environmental Remediation Costs, Code 121 • Qualified Leasehold Improvement Property, Code 129 • Qualified Restaurant Improvement Property, Code 108 • Qualified Retail Improvement Property, Code 109 • Start-Up Expenditures, Code 131 Required add-backs for the following modifications have been eliminated, effective Jan. 1, 2016: • Qualified Disaster Assistance Property, Code 110 • Qualified Refinery Property, Code 111 • Qualified Film or Television Production, Code 112 If you previously reported any of these add-backs, see the following example for guidance as to how to figure and report a final catch-up modification. Example. Grant has qualified restaurant equipment. For federal tax purposes he used the accelerated 15-year recovery period for an asset placed in service since 2009. Since 2009 Grant had been adding back the depreciation expense taken for federal purposes that exceeded the amount allowable for Indiana purposes. The accumulated depreciation on such an asset through 2012 was, therefore, different for federal and state purposes. This difference will remain until the asset is fully depreciated or until the time of its disposition. A simple illustration: An asset of qualified restaurant property was acquired in January of 2009 for a purchase price of $120,000. This normally would have had a 39-year recovery period; I R C Section 168 allows for a 15-year recovery period. Asset acquired Jan. 2009 $120,000 purchase price Federal Depreciation Add- Back

Had this asset been sold before being fully depreciated, the catch-up modification would be reflected in the year of the sale. If this property is held through 2048 (the 39th year of depreciation), Grant will report a negative $19,696 catch-up add-back on his 2048 state tax return. Enter the associated 3-digit code on Schedule B under line 5 if reporting a final catch-up modification. Reporting Certain Prior-Year Modifications In certain cases, a modification in a prior year may have been limited due to various federal limitations, including basis limitations, passive loss limitations, and at-risk loss limitations. Even though certain modifications may not apply to activities during the current taxable year, you may be required to report a modification when you have income against which to realize the modification. Use the modification code for the year in which the modification was actually accrued.
Schedule C: Deductions
Line 1 - Renter's Deduction Y ou may be able to take the renter's deduction if: • Y ou paid rent on your principal place of residence, and • Y ou rented a place that was located in Indiana and subject to Indiana property tax. Y our "principal place of residence" is the place where you have your true, fixed, permanent home and where you intend to return after being absent. If you rented a manufactured home in Indiana or paid rent for your manufactured home lot, you may claim the renter's deduction if the above requirements are met. Rent paid for summer homes or vacation homes is not deductible. Important. Y ou cannot claim the renter's deduction if the rental property was not subject to Indiana property tax. How do I report my deduction? First, complete the information area by entering: • The address where rented if it's different from the address on the front of the return (leave blank if it is not different), • The landlord's name and address, • The total amount of rent paid, and • The number of months you lived there. If you moved during the year or had more than one landlord, you must list the same information for each place that you rented. Enclose additional pages if necessary. How much rent can I deduct? Y ou can deduct up to $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately) or the amount of rent paid, whichever is less. Example. Bill paid $400 rent for his first apartment, which was located in Indiana. He moved to another Indiana location during the year and paid $2,800 rent for the rest of the year. His deduction will be limited to $3,000, even though he paid $3,200 altogether. Important. Keep copies of your rental receipts, landlord identifying information and lease agreements as DOR can require you to provide this information. For more information about this deduction, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #38 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib38.pdf.
Schedule C: Deductions
Line 2 - Homeowner's Residential Property T ax Deduction Y ou may be able to take a deduction of up to $2,500 ($1,250 if married filing separately) of the Indiana property taxes (residential real estate taxes) paid on your principal place of residence. Y our "principal place of residence" is the place where you have your true, fixed home and where you intend to return after being absent. Note. Property tax paid for summer homes or vacation homes is not deductible. Important. Y ou cannot claim this deduction for property tax paid in 2025 if you are claiming the Lake County residential income tax credit on Schedule F , line 7. How do I claim my deduction? Complete the information area on Schedule C, line 2. Enter the address of your principal residence where the Indiana property tax was paid if it is different from the address on the front of the return. If you had more than one principal residence during the year, and you paid Indiana property tax on both residences, list the additional residence on a separate piece of paper. Example. Jamie and Ella each owned their own home; they married in 2025. They sold both of their Indiana homes during the year and began renting. They are eligible to claim a property tax deduction on the combined property taxes paid on both homes if they are filing a joint return (limited to $2,500 altogether). • Enter the number of months you lived there. If you claim more than one residence, enter the number of months lived at the other residence(s) on a separate sheet of paper. • Enter the amount of Indiana property tax paid. If you lived in more than one residence during the year, enter the combined amount of Indiana property tax paid on all principal residences. • Enter the smaller of $2,500 ($1,250 if married filing separately) or the amount of Indiana property tax paid. No double benefit allowed. If any portion of property taxes paid on your principal residence was deducted as an expense on federal Schedule C, E or F , then do not deduct that amount on this line. Example. Jean paid $1,200 in Indiana property tax on her home. She used one room of her home for her business, and deducted $200 Indiana property tax as an expense on her federal Schedule C. Jean is allowed a deduction of $1,000 ($1,200 minus the $200 deduction already taken on federal Schedule C). How do I find out how much I paid in Indiana property tax on my principal residence? Indiana counties send statements to homeowners showing how much property tax is due on their property. Add together the 2025 spring and fall installments, if you paid both of them. Sometimes mortgage companies pay the Indiana property tax from an escrow account. If your mortgage company pays it, they should send you a Form 1098 (or its equivalent) showing the amount of property tax paid. Important. Y ou must maintain copies of proof that you paid your Indiana property tax as DOR can require you to provide this information. This could include the Form 1098, the property tax statement from your local assessor's office, cancelled checks, etc. Line 3 - State Tax Refund Reported on Federal Return If you entered a state tax refund amount on federal Schedule 1, line 1, and you reported it on Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, line 5B, then deduct that amount here. Line 4 - Interest on U.S. Government Obligations Deduction If you reported interest income on Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, line 3B, you may be able to take a deduction. If any part of your interest income is from a direct obligation of the U.S. government, you can deduct this amount. Examples of U.S. government obligations include U.S. savings bonds, U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. government certificates. Interest income reported from a trust, estate, partnership or S corporation that is from U.S. government obligations should also be deducted on this line. Note. When certain U.S. savings bonds are redeemed to pay expenses for higher education, the interest may be excluded from federal adjusted gross income. Therefore, do not enter any interest from U.S. savings bonds that is shown on your federal Schedule B, line 3 (because it has already been excluded from income). For more information about this deduction see Income Tax Information Bulletin #19 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib19.pdf. Lines 5 and 6 - Taxable Social Security and/or Railroad Retirement Benefits Deduction Indiana does not tax Social Security income or tier 1 or tier 2 railroad retirement benefits issued by the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board.
If you have included any of these benefits on Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, line 11B or line18B, deduct those benefits on this line. Note. See the Railroad Unemployment and Sickness Benefits deduction instructions on page 28 if you have received unemployment and/or sickness benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board. A Word About the Four Military Income Deductions Military income recipients may be eligible to claim one or more of the four deductions based on the type of income/benefits they get. These deductions are only allowable to the extent the income would have been includible in federal income from Indiana sources. 1. Military Service Deduction (including the National Guard and reserve component of the armed forces) Individuals with military pay from active duty in the armed forces may be eligible to deduct that income. See the Military Service Deduction below to find out if you qualify for this deduction.
2. Military Retirement Income and/or Survivor's Benefits Deduction Individuals with military retirement income and/or survivor's benefits may be eligible to deduct those benefits. See the Military Retirement Income and/or Survivor's Benefits Deduction information on page 27 to see if you qualify.
Schedule C: Deductions Continued
3. National Guard and Reserve Component Members Deduction This deduction is available for qualified military income received as a member of the Indiana National Guard or an armed forces reserve component. See the National Guard and Reserve Component Members Deduction on page 27 to see if you qualify for this deduction.
4. Nonresident Military Spouse Earned Income Deduction A s pouse of a nonresident military servicemember may not owe tax to Indiana on earned income from Indiana sources. See the Nonresident Military Spouse Earned Income Deduction on
pa ge 28 for more information. Line 7 - Military Service Deduction (active duty armed forces members only) Note. National Guard and armed forces reserves members will not report the deduction for their income on this line. Please see the instructions for Line 11, National Guard and Reserve Component Members Deduction on page 27. Important. The military service deduction and the military retirement income and/or survivor's benefits deduction are reported in two different places. • Y ou (and/or your spouse, if married filing jointly and both qualify) will report your active, military service income deduction here. • Y ou (and/or your spouse, if married filing jointly and both qualify) will report your military retirement income and/or survivor's benefits deduction on Schedule C under line 11, Other Deductions. See the instructions for Military Retirement Income and Survivor's Benefits Deduction on page 27. The income on line 21B of Schedule A may include military pay from active duty in the armed forces (reserve). If it does, you may be eligible to take this deduction. The deduction will be the actual amount of your active duty military income. If both you and your spouse received active duty military income, you may each claim the deduction. Beginning in 2025, members of the United States Space Force, the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps are eligible for the Military Service Deduction. Example 1. Louis earned $25,000 from active service in the Army. Brooklynn, his wife, earned $2,640 from the Indiana National Guard. Louis is eligible for a $25,000 deduction; Brooklynn is not eligible to claim the deduction on this line. However, Brooklynn can claim a $2,640 deduction using Code 621 on Line 11. Military income earned while in a combat zone is not taxable on your federal or state income tax returns. Since Indiana is not taxing this income, your combat zone income is not eligible for a deduction. Example 2. Jim was on active duty the first month of the year. He was stationed in a combat zone the rest of the year. His military W-2 form shows the first month's regular military wage income of $1,250 in Box 1. Only $1,250 of his income is taxed on his federal (and Indiana) tax returns. Jim should claim a $1,250 military deduction. Important. Yo u must enclose your military W-2 form(s) if you are claiming this deduction. For more information about this deduction see Income Tax Information Bulletin #27 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib27.pdf. Line 8 - Private School/Homeschool Deduction Y ou may be eligible for a deduction based on education expenditures paid for each dependent child who is enrolled in a private school or is homeschooled. Dependent Child Qualifications • Y our dependent child must be eligible to receive a free elementary or high school education (K through 12 range) in an Indiana school corporation; • Y ou must be eligible to claim the child as a dependent on your federal tax return; and • The child must be your natural or adopted child or, if not, you must have been awarded custody of the child in a court proceeding making you the court appointed guardian or custodian of the child. Education expenditure. This refers to any expenditures made in connection with enrollment, attendance, or participation of your dependent child in a private elementary or high school education program. The term includes tuition, fees, computer software, textbooks, workbooks, curricula, school supplies (other than personal computers), and other written materials used primarily for academic instruction or for academic tutoring, or both. The term does not include the delivery of instructional service in a home setting to your dependent child who is enrolled in a school corporation or a charter school. This term also does not include educational expenditures that are reimbursed, such as by a scholarship or grant. A "private elementary or high school education program" means attendance at a nonpublic school (including a private school, a parochial school and a homeschool) in Indiana that satisfies a child's obligation for compulsory attendance at a school. The obligation for "compulsory attendance" means a child must be in attendance in a school (public and/or private) for a minimum of 180 days in a calendar year. Note. No deduction will be available based on a child who is enrolled in school for a period of less than 180 days in a calendar year. Figure your deduction. If you made an unreimbursed education expenditure during the year your deduction is: • $1,000; multiplied by • The number of qualified dependent children for whom you made education expenditures. Example. Greg and Constance have three children ages 7, 9 and 11. The two oldest children attend a private school. The youngest child attends the neighborhood public school. The parents purchased schoolbooks for all three children. They will be eligible for a $2,000 deduction (the youngest does not qualify as he attends a public school).
Schedule C: Deductions Continued
Note. A qualifying child may be claimed for this deduction only once per year. For example, if a husband and wife are married and filing separately, whichever parent is eligible to claim the child as a dependent for exemption purposes is eligible to claim this deduction. Line 9 - Indiana Net Operating Loss Deduction Y ou may take a deduction for the Indiana portion of the federal net operating loss deduction reported on federal Form 1040/1040-SR.
(This will be a net operating loss deduction from an earlier year(s) carried forward to 2025.) Complete Schedule IT-40N O L t o determine the amount available to be deducted this year. Make sure to enter the amount you are eligible to deduct as a positive figure. Note. It is possible to have an Indiana N O L w ithout also having a federal N O L. See the instructions for IT-40N O L b eginning on page 56. For years prior to 2025, the modifications required to compute an Indiana N O L may have changed after publication of the IT-40N O L f or the prior year. See the instructions for a list of modifications required for each year and, if necessary, revise the IT-40N O L f or changes in modifications. In most cases, you will need to complete federal Form 172 (2024 and later) or Form 1045 (2023 and earlier) in order to determine your federal net operating loss. Y ou may be asked to provide a copy of the applicable federal form or such other calculations necessary to determine your federal and Indiana net operating loss. If you have federal standard deductions or itemized deductions that increase your net operating loss, complete a pro forma copy of the form that excluded those deductions. Enclose a completed Indiana Schedule IT-40N O L w hen claiming this deduction. Failure to include Schedule IT-40N O Ls f rom the years from which you are carrying forward a net operating loss will result in an initial disallowance of all or part of your net operating loss deduction. Also, maintain with your records a copy of the federal Form 1040/1040-SR from the loss year as DOR can require you to provide this information at a later date.
Line 10 - Nontaxable Portion of Unemployment
Compensation Y ou may be eligible for a deduction if you reported unemployment compensation while being an Indiana resident. Complete the worksheet below to figure your deduction. Important. Do not include any unemployment compensation issued by the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board on line 1 of the worksheet. Instead, see the instructions for the Railroad Unemployment and Sickness Benefits Deduction on page 28 for more information. Line 11 - Other Deductions Each of the following deductions has been assigned a 3-digit code number. When claiming the deduction on Schedule C under line 11, write the name of the deduction, the three-digit code number and the amount claimed. 30 Days or Less Nonresident Employee Wage Deduction 644 If you were a full-year nonresident who worked in Indiana for 30 days or less during the tax year and you are not a: • Professional athlete, a professional team member, or a race team member; • Professional entertainer; or • Public figure; you are eligible to deduct your wages from Indiana sources from your Indiana adjusted gross income. Deduct only the portion of employee compensation included on Schedule A, Column B, line 1 or line 2. If you claimed deductions attributable to the compensation on Schedule A, Column B, lines 22 through 34, reduce the deduction by these amounts. Do not deduct amounts: • Earned as a resident of a reciprocal state; • Earned in a capacity other than an employee, including: ο amounts earned as an independent contractor or from selfemployment; ο amounts reported on Schedule I N K-1 o r IT-41 Schedule I N K-1; S chedule C: Deductions Continued Unemployment Compensation Worksheet Note: If you were married but filing separately, and you lived with your spouse at any time during the year, enter zero on line 3 of the worksheet. However, if you were married but filing separately , and lived apart from your spouse the entire year, enter $12,000 on line 3. 1. Unemployment compensation included on Schedule A, line 17B (do not include any unemployment compensation issued by the Railroad Retirement Board - see instructions) ............................................... 1 2. Federal adjusted gross income from federal Form 1040, line 11 ................................................................ 2 3. Enter $12,000 if single, or $18,000 if married filing a joint return ................................................................ 3 4. Subtract line 3 from line 2. If zero or less, enter zero .................................................................................. 4 5. Enter one-half of the amount on line 4 (divide line 4 by the number 2) ....................................................... 5 6. Taxable unemployment compensation for Indiana purposes: enter the amount from either line 1 or line 5, whichever is smaller ..................................................................................................................... 6 7. Subtract line 6 from line 1. Carry this amount to Schedule C, line 10 ......................................................... 7
If you work as an independent contractor and work as an employee for the same employer in substantially the same capacity, your days in Indiana working as an independent contractor count towards the 30-day limit. Career Scholarship Account Deduction 642 If you received a distribution from a career scholarship account and that distribution is included in your federal adjusted gross income, you are entitled to a deduction for the portion of the distribution included in your federal adjusted gross income. Note. Do not claim this deduction if the distribution was not included in your federal adjusted gross income. Civil Service Annuity Deduction 601 If the income on Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, line 11B includes federal civil service annuity payments, you may be eligible to take a deduction if you were at least 62 years of age by the end of the tax year and/or a surviving spouse of a civil service annuitant. For each civil service annuitant, the deduction is limited to: • The lesser of the amount of taxable civil service annuity income included in federal adjusted gross income or $16,000, • Less all amounts of Social Security income and tier 1 and tier 2 Railroad Retirement income (issued by the Railroad Retirement Board) received by the civil service annuitant (as reported on federal Form 1040/1040-SR, lines 5a and 6a), • Multiplied by the ratio of civil service annuity income taxable to Indiana as compared to all taxable civil service annuity income. Example. Y ou were a full-year Indiana resident (your spouse was a part-year resident). The taxable amount of your civil service annuity reported on Schedule A, Lines 11A and 11B is $6,000. Y ou received $1,200 in Social Security income. Y ou are age 67. Figure your deduction by using the following three-step method:
Step 1 Enter your amount of civil service annuity from
Schedule A, line 11B .......................................................... 1A $6,000 Enter your amount of civil service annuity from Schedule A, line 11A ...........................................................1B $6,000 Divide line 1A by line 1B (if the result is zero or less, STOP; there is no deduction) ........................................... 1C 1.00
Step 2 Enter the lesser of the taxable amount of your
annuity or $16,000 .............................................................. 2A $6,000 Enter the total of your Social Security and tiers 1 and 2 Railroad Retirement income ..............................................2B - $1,200 Tentative allowable deduction .......................................... 2C $4,800 Step 3 Multiply the amount on Line 1C (1.00) by the amount on Line 2C ($4,800) = $4,800. This is your deduction. Both spouses receive a civil service annuity. If you receive a civil service annuity both for yourself and as a surviving spouse, the combined deduction cannot exceed $16,000. Example. Matthew and Claire, both age 68, file a joint federal and state income tax return. They each receive a civil service annuity and Social Security income. They moved from Indiana to Arizona on July 1 of the tax year. Matthew's taxable civil service annuity is $13,700, which he reported on Schedule A, Line 11A. He reported the $6,850 portion received while he was an Indiana resident on Line 11B. He also received $9,500 in Social Security income while residing in Indiana. Since his Social Security income (received while an Indiana resident) is greater than the annuity received while an Indiana resident, he is not eligible for a deduction. Claire's taxable civil service annuity is $21,900, which she reported on Schedule A, Line 11A. She reported the $10,950 portion received while she was an Indiana resident on Line 11B. She also received $6,300 in Social Security income while living in Indiana. Here is how to figure Claire's deduction. Step 1 Enter Claire's civil service annuity from
Schedule A, line 11B .......................................................... 1A $10,950 Enter Claire's civil service annuity from Schedule A, line 11A ...........................................................1B $21,900 Divide line 1A by line 1B ................................................... 1C .50 Step 2 Enter the lesser of the taxable amount of Claire's
annuity or $16,000 .............................................................. 2A $16,000 Enter the total of Claire's Social Security and tiers 1 and 2 Railroad Retirement income .......................2B - $6,300 Tentative allowable deduction .......................................... 2C $9,700 Step 3 Multiply the amount on Line 1C (.50) by the amount on Line 2C ($9,700) = $4,850. This is Claire's deduction. Surviving Spouse A surviving spouse may be eligible to claim this deduction. There is no age requirement for the surviving spouse. However, if you are a surviving spouse receiving a civil service annuity based on your service and also receive a civil service annuity based on your deceased spouse's service, the combined deduction cannot exceed $16,000. Y ou must maintain Form CSA 1099-R with your records as DOR can require you to provide it at a later date. For more information about this deduction see Income Tax Information Bulletin #6 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib06.pdf. Enter code 601 on Schedule 2 under line 11 if claiming this deduction.
Schedule C: Deductions Continued
COVID-related Employee Retention Credit Disallowed Expenses Deduction 634 If you had a deduction that was disallowed for federal purposes because an employer claimed a federal COVID-related employee retention credit, deduct the amount that was: • Disallowed for federal purposes, and • That otherwise would have been allowable in determining Indiana adjusted gross income. Do not deduct any amounts for amounts disallowed for non-COVID related employee retention credits such as disaster-related employee retention credits. Report this deduction only if your federal deduction was disallowed and/or required to be added to your federal adjusted gross income in 2025. If you have amounts that can be deducted from your Indiana adjusted gross income for 2020, 2023 or 2024, or have amounts that are reflected on a Schedule IN K-1 reporting Code 147, use Code 147 instead of Code 634. Disability Retirement Deduction 602 To take this deduction you must have been: • Permanently and totally disabled at the time of retirement, • Retired on disability before the end of the tax year, and • Received disability retirement income during the tax year. If you meet these qualifications, you must complete Schedule IT-2440 and have it signed by your doctor to claim this deduction. Y ou must maintain the completed Schedule IT-2440 with your records as DOR can require you to provide it at a later date. For more information about this deduction see Income Tax Information Bulletin #70 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib70.pdf
and Schedule IT-2440 at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current. This deduction is limited to a maximum of $5,200 per qualifying individual. Note. Social Security disability income does not qualify for this deduction because Indiana does not tax this income. Enter code 602 on Schedule C under line 11 if claiming this deduction. Employer Student Loan Payment Interest Deduction 637 If you are required to add back employer-paid student loan payment using Code 148, you are permitted to deduct the amount of student loan interest that: • Was paid by your employer, and • Y ou would have been permitted to deduct if federal law did not disallow that deduction. Complete Worksheet 4-1 provided in IRS Publication 970 to determine the amount (if any) of additional interest allowable for Indiana purposes, but not in excess of $2,500 total. When completing Worksheet 4-1, do not add back amounts required to be added to Indiana adjusted gross income using Code 148. This deduction cannot exceed the amount you are required to add back using Code 148. Enterprise Zone Employee Deduction 603 Certain areas within Indiana have been designated as enterprise zones. Enterprise zones are established to encourage investment and job growth in distressed urban areas. Y our employer will provide Form IT-40QEC to you if you are eligible to claim this deduction. The amount of the deduction is one-half of the earned income shown on Form IT-40QEC or $7,500, whichever is less. If you and your spouse both have received Form IT-40QEC, you may each take this deduction for a combined maximum of $15,000 (no more than $7,500 per qualifying person). Y ou must maintain Form IT-40QEC with your records. Enter code 603 on Schedule C under line 11 if claiming this deduction. Government or Civic Group Capital Contribution Deduction 633 A deduction is available for certain capital contributions made by a government or civic group. Deduct any eligible contributions as listed on a Schedule K-1 you received from an S corporation, or from an estate or trust that owns a portion of an S corporation AND through which you are receiving a distribution. Y ou must maintain a copy of the Schedule K-1(s) with your records as DOR can require you to provide it at a later date. Enter code 633 on Schedule C under line 11 if claiming this deduction. Health Care Sharing Ministry Deduction 643 If you paid an amount for membership in a health sharing ministry, as defined by IC 27-1-2.1-1, you may claim a deduction for the amount paid for membership in a health sharing ministry. Deduct only the amounts paid for membership while you were an Indiana resident. Amounts paid for membership while you were an Indiana nonresident are not eligible for deduction. Do not use this code to deduct amounts for unreimbursed health care expenses. Human Services Deduction 605 The human services deduction is intended to eliminate any individual income tax imposed on Medicaid recipients who are living in a: • Hospital, • Skilled nursing facility, • Intermediate care facility, • Licensed county home, • Licensed boarding or residential home, or • Certified Christian Science facility.* The goal of the human services tax deduction is to reduce the affected individual's adjusted gross income tax liability to zero (-0-). *An eligible Christian Science facility must be listed with and certified by the Commission for Accreditation of Christian Science Nursing Organizations/Facilities, Inc. Generally, the deduction should not be used in conjunction with most tax credits in order to create a refund. If you are a Medicaid recipient and live in one of the facilities listed above, to determine whether you are eligible for the deduction you must first prepare your tax return without claiming a human services deduction. Generally, if a refund is due, you are not eligible for a deduction. File your return without claiming the deduction and a refund will be issued. However, if an amount is due, you are eligible to use a deduction.
Schedule C: Deductions Continued
Enter code 605 on Schedule C under line 11 if claiming this deduction. Indiana Education Scholarship Account Deduction 635 A deduction is available if you received an annual grant amount distributed to your Indiana education scholarship account that is used to pay for qualified expenses. See IC 20-51.4-2-9 for a list of qualified expenses. Do not deduct any grants that are not included in your federal gross income. Also, if the grant is used to pay for items other than qualified expenses, do not deduct the amount of those payments. Indiana Enrichment Scholarship Account Deduction 638 A deduction is available if you received an annual grant amount distributed to your Indiana enrichment scholarship account that is used to pay for qualified expenses. Qualified expenses are enrichment materials, activities, or programs approved by the Indiana Department of Education to improve student proficiency in math or reading. Do not deduct any grants that are not included in your federal gross income. Also, if the grant is used to pay for items other than qualified expenses, do not deduct the amount of those payments. Indiana Lottery Winnings Annuity Deduction 629 Y ou may be eligible to deduct annuity payments received from a winning Hoosier Lottery ticket for a lottery held prior to July 1, 2002. This deduction applies only to prizes won from the Hoosier Lottery Commission; proceeds from other state lotteries or from other gambling sources, such as casinos, are not deductible. In addition, proceeds from winning Hoosier Lottery tickets for lotteries held after June 30, 2002, are not deductible. Example.

Schedule C: Deductions Continued
Who is Eligible? Y ou must be an Indiana resident who is a member of the reserve components of the: • Army; • Navy; • Air Force; • Coast Guard; • Marine Corps; • Merchant Marine; or • Space Force. Or, a member of the: • Indiana Army National Guard; or • Indiana Air National Guard. What is Eligible to be Deducted?

Y ou cannot claim both this deduction and the Military Service Deduction (see page 22) based on the same income. Enter code 621 on Schedule C under line 11 if claiming this deduction. Nonresident Military Spouse Earned Income Deduction 625 A spouse of a nonresident military servicemember may not owe tax to Indiana on earned income from Indiana sources.

The exemption includes licensing fees or other income received for the use of the patent, royalties received for the infringement, receipts from the sale of a qualified patent, and income from the taxpayer's own use of the patent to produce the claimed invention. Y ou must maintain the completed Schedule I N -PAT with your records as DOR can require you to provide it at a later date. Y ou may get Schedule I N -PAT at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current.

Recovery of Deductions 616 Y ou are not eligible for this deduction if you did not complete the "other income" line 20B on Indiana Schedule A: Section 1.
Schedule C: Deductions Continued
Generally, Indiana does not allow you to claim itemized deductions from IRS Form 172, Part 1, or the equivalent worksheet from IRS Publication 536. However, if you reported recovered itemized deductions as "other income" on line 8 of your federal Schedule 1, use the portion of that amount also reported on Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, line 20B as a deduction on this line. Enter code 616 on Schedule C under line 11 if claiming this deduction. Repayment of Previously Taxed Income Deduction 630 Y ou may be eligible to claim a deduction for the repayment of previously taxed income, also known as "claim of right, " if: • Y ou reported the income to Indiana in a previous year, • Y ou repaid some or all of it this year, and • For federal tax purposes, you are eligible to: ο claim the repayment as an itemized deduction, or ο claim a credit based on the repayment amount. Important. If you filed an Indiana state tax return and reported income that was paid back in a later tax year, you may be eligible for a deduction even if you weren't otherwise required to file an Indiana state tax return in the year you paid it back. Example 1. Ryan was a full-year Indiana resident in 2024, and received $1,700 unemployment compensation that year. He reported the full amount on his 2024 federal and Indiana income tax returns. Ryan moved to and became a resident of Arkansas in October of 2025. Ryan found out he had to repay $345 of that compensation, which he repaid in July of 2025. For 2025 federal tax purposes he is eligible to claim an itemized deduction* based on the $345 amount repaid. Ryan is eligible to claim the $345 amount as a repayment of previously taxed income as a deduction on his 2025 Indiana state tax return, Form IT- 40PNR, even if he is not otherwise required to file with Indiana. *In this example, Ryan is not required to claim itemized deductions when figuring his federal taxable income for 2025; he cannot claim miscellaneous itemized deductions for federal purposes. Regardless, he is still eligible to claim the deduction on his state tax return. Note. An adjustment will need to be made if an unemployment compensation deduction was claimed on the return in the year the income was reported. To do this, reduce the amount previously reported by the amount repaid; refigure the deduction based on the reduced amount. Subtract the difference from the repayment amount to be deducted. Example 1, continued. Ryan claimed a $73 unemployment compensation deduction on his 2024 state tax return. He refigured the deduction based on the reduced $1,355 compensation ($1,700 minus $345), which reduced the deduction by $15. Ryan will report the $330 net difference ($345 repayment minus the $15 reduced deduction amount) as the repayment of previously taxed income deduction. Important. While no corresponding state credit for the repayment of previously taxed income is available, a deduction based on the amount repaid is. Example 2. In 2025 Cynthia repaid $3,400 of income originally reported on her 2024 federal and Indiana state tax returns. She claimed a credit on her 2025 federal tax return based on the $3,400 amount repaid. Cynthia is eligible to claim the $3,400 amount as a deduction on her Indiana state tax return. Example 3. Ashley moved to Indiana in 2024, and filed her first state tax return with Indiana that year. In 2025 she repaid $2,700 income originally reported on her 2023 federal income tax return. Since this income was not reported to Indiana in 2023, she is not eligible to claim a deduction for the amount of the repayment. Important. Indiana does not tax Social Security income. Therefore, any amount of Social Security income repaid in a subsequent year is not eligible for a deduction (since Indiana has not previously taxed this income). Note. Keep a copy of your records detailing the required repayment as DOR can require you to provide this information at a later date. Enter code 630 on Schedule under line 11 if claiming this deduction. Small Employer Health Insurance Premium Deduction 639 If you: • Claimed a federal tax credit for small employer health insurance premiums under I R C section 45R; and • Would have been permitted a deduction for those premiums except for the disallowance under I R C section 280C(h), you are permitted a deduction for the portion of the premiums disallowed for federal purposes. Use Code 639 to enter the amount of premiums for which a deduction was disallowed for federal purposes because you claimed a federal tax credit for small employer health insurance premiums. Specified Research and Experimental Expenses Deduction 641 If you claimed a federal income tax deduction for specified research and experimental expenses that are required to be amortized for federal purposes pursuant to I R C section 174, deduct the amount of expenses paid or incurred in the current taxable year for federal income tax purposes. See the instructions for Code 154 for further information on the amount of expenses required to be added back. Do not claim this deduction for any research expenses for which a deduction is disallowed under I R C section 280C(c). Note. If you are claiming a full federal deduction for domestic research expenses for 2025, do not enter a Code 641 deduction for those expenses. If you are electing to claim a full federal deduction for domestic research expenses for 2022 through 2024 and amend your 2022-2024 federal income tax return, amend your Indiana income tax return to reverse any Code 641 deduction based on those expenses and do not claim any further modifications after 2024. For other situations related to research and experimental expenses for 2022 through 2025, this will not be determined until the 2026 Indiana General Assembly session. If any changes are enacted, the department will provide guidance after any changes are enacted.
Schedule C: Deductions Continued
Example. Individual A incurred $100,000 of specified research expenses in 2025. Individual A reported $10,000 of amortized expenses in 2025. Individual A will use Code 641 to report $100,000 allowable for Indiana purposes and use Code 154 to add back the $10,000 claimed for federal purposes. For 2026 through 2030, Individual A will continue to use Code 154 to report timing differences. Exemptions Exemptions may be claimed on the Indiana return. Categories include exemptions for: 1. Y ou, and your spouse, if married filing jointly 2. Certain dependents 3. Certain dependent children (additional) 4. Certain adopted children 5. Age 65 or older and/or blind 6.

She added the dependent claimed on the second schedule to the four claimed on the first schedule, and entered "5" on the first Schedule I N -DEP , Box 5. She made sure to include the second schedule with her filing. Likewise, she would include the fifth dependent in the total listed in Box 6 if the child listed on the second Schedule I N -DEP qualified for the additional dependent child exemption. Schedule I N-DEP-A Instructions Y ou must complete and enclose Schedule I N -DEP-A if you are claiming any additional exemption for adopted children. These children are also required to be listed on Schedule I N -DEP . To claim this exemption for an adopted child, the adoption of the child must be finalized before the end of the taxable year. Lines 1 through 5 For each adopted dependent, enter his or her: • First and last name in Box A and Box B • Nine-digit Social Security number (SSN) in Box C • Date of birth in Box D • If the first listed taxpayer on the return is an adoptive parent of the child, check Box E • If the second listed taxpayer on the return is an adoptive parent of the child, check Box F Note. An adopted child can only qualify for the additional adopted child exemption if the child also meets the requirements for an additional child exemption on Schedule I N -DEP . If Box E on Schedule I N -DEP for the adopted child is not checked, the additional adopted child dependent exemption also will be disallowed.
Schedule I N-D EP-A Instructions
If both parents are adoptive parents of the child, only one additional adopted child dependent deduction is permitted for that child. This exemption may not be claimed by a non-adoptive parent (e.g., a biological parent of child adopted by a stepparent) unless the adoptive parent files a joint return with the non-adoptive parent.

An adopted child is always treated as your own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption. Adoption taxpayer identification numbers (ATINs). If you have a dependent who was placed with you for legal adoption and you don't know his or her SSN, you must get an ATIN for the dependent from the IRS. Get federal Form W-7A for details. If the dependent isn't a U.S. citizen or resident alien, apply for an ITIN instead, using federal Form W-7. Children of divorced or separated parents. A child will be treated as the qualifying child or qualifying relative of his or her noncustodial parent (defined later) if all of the following conditions apply. 1. The parents are divorced, legally separated, separated under a written separation agreement, or lived apart at all times during the last 6 months of the year (whether or not they are or were married). 2. The child received over half of his or her support for the year from the parents (and the rules on Multiple support agreements, later, do not apply). Support of a child received from a parent's spouse is treated as provided by the parent. 3. The child is in custody of one or both of the parents for more than half of the year. 4. Either of the following applies. a. The custodial parent signs federal Form 8332 or a substantially similar statement that he or she won't claim the child as a dependent for the year, and the noncustodial parent maintains a copy of the signed federal Form 8332 with his or her records (as DOR can require this to be provided at a later date). If the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 1984 and before 2009, the noncustodial parent may be able to include certain pages from the decree or agreement instead of federal Form 8332. See Post-1984 and pre-2009 decree or agreement and Post-2008 decree or agreement. b. A pre-1985 decree of divorce or separate maintenance or written separation agreement between the parents provides that the noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent, and the noncustodial parent provides at least $600 for support of the child during the year. If conditions (1) through (4) apply, only the noncustodial parent can claim the child for purposes of the dependency. Custodial and noncustodial parents. The custodial parent is the parent with whom the child lived for the greater number of nights in the year. The noncustodial parent is the other parent. If the child was with each parent for an equal number of nights, the custodial parent is the parent with the higher federal A G I . See Income Tax Information Bulletin #117 for an exception for a parent who works at night, rules for a child who is emancipated under state law, and other details. Post-1984 and pre-2009 decree or agreement. The decree or agreement must state all three of the following. 1. The noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent without regard to any condition, such as payment of support. 2. The other parent will not claim the child as a dependent. 3. The years for which the claim is released. The noncustodial parent must maintain with his or her records a copy of all of the following pages from the decree or agreement as DOR can require these to be provided at a later date. • Cover page (include the other parent's SSN on that page). • The pages that include all the information identified in (1) through (3) above. • Signature page with the other parent's signature and date of agreement. Post-2008 decree or agreement. If the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 2008, the noncustodial parent cannot include pages from the decree or agreement instead of federal Form 8332. The custodial parent must sign either federal Form 8332 or a substantially similar statement the only purpose of which is to release the custodial parent's claim to an exemption for a child, and the noncustodial parent must include a copy with his or her return. The form or statement must release the custodial parent's claim to the child without any conditions. For example, the release must not depend on the noncustodial parent paying support. Release of exemption revoked. A custodial parent who has revoked his or her previous release of a claim to exemption for a child must maintain with his or her records a copy of the revocation as DOR can require this to be provided at a later date. For details, see federal Form 8332. Exception to citizen test. If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. national and your adopted child lived with you all year as a member of your household, that child meets the requirement to be a U.S. citizen in Step 2, question 1. Exception to gross income test. If your relative (including a person who lived with you all year as a member of your household) is permanently and totally disabled (defined later), certain income for services performed at a sheltered workshop may be excluded for this test. For details, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #117. Definitions and Special Rules for Dependents
Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences by you or the other person for special circumstances, such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility, count as time the person lived with you. Also see Children of divorced or separated parents, earlier, or Kidnapped child, later. If the person meets all other requirements to be your qualifying child but was born or died during the year, the person is considered to have lived with you for more than half of the year if your home was this person's home for more than half the time he or she was alive during the year. Any other person is considered to have lived with you for all of the year if the person was born or died during the year and your home was this person's home for the entire time he or she was alive during the year. Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other order of any court of competent jurisdiction. Kidnapped child. If your child is presumed by law enforcement authorities to have been kidnapped by someone who is not a family member, you may be able to take the child into account in determining the dependency exemption. For details, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #117. Married person. If the person is married and files a joint return, you cannot claim that person as your dependent. However, if the person is married but does not file a joint return or files a joint return only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid, you may be able to claim him or her as a dependent. (See Income Tax Information Bulletin #117 for details and examples.) In that case, go to Step 2, question 3 (for a qualifying child) or Step 3, question 4 (for a qualifying relative). Multiple support agreements. If no one person contributed over half of the support of your relative (or a person who lived with you all year as a member of your household) but you and another person(s) provided more than half of your relative's support, special rules may apply that would treat you as having provided over half of the support. For details, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #117. Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently and totally disabled if, at any time during the year, the person cannot engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition and a doctor has determined that this condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year or can be expected to lead to death. Public assistance payments. If you received payments under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program or other public assistance program and you used the money to support another person, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #117. Qualifying child of more than one person. Even if a child meets the conditions to be the qualifying child of more than one person, only one person can claim the child as a dependent. If you and any other person can claim the child as a dependent, the following rules apply: • If only one of the persons is the child's parent, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parent; • If the parents file a joint return together and can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parents; • If the parents do not file a joint return together but both parents claim the child as a qualifying child, DOR will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child lived for the longer period of time during the year. If the child lived with each parent for the same amount of time, DOR will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher federal A G I for the year; • If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest federal A G I for the year; • If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but chooses not to, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest federal A G I for the year, but only if that person's federal A G I is higher than the highest federal A G I of any parent of the child who can claim the child. Example. Y ou, your daughter and your mother live together. Y our daughter meets the conditions to be a qualifying child for both you and your mother. Y our daughter doesn't meet the conditions to be a qualifying child of any other person, including her other parent. Under the rules just described, you can claim your daughter as a dependent. Y our mother cannot claim your daughter. However, if your mother's federal A G I is higher than yours and you do not claim your daughter as a dependent, your daughter is the qualifying child of your mother. For more details and examples, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #117. Social Security Number. Y ou must enter each dependent's 9-digit Social Security number (SSN) on Schedule I N-DEP , Box C. Be sure the name and SSN entered agree with the dependent's Social Security card. Otherwise, we may disallow the exemption claimed for the dependent. If the name or SSN on the dependent's Social Security card is not correct or you need to get an SSN for your dependent, contact the Social Security Administration. If your dependent child was born and died during the year and you do not have an SSN for the child, enter "Died" in Box C and keep a copy of the child's birth certificate, death certificate, or hospital records as DOR can require you to provide these at a later date. The document must show the child was born alive. Example. Died If you apply for an ATIN or an ITIN on or before the due date of your 2025 return (including extensions) and the IRS issues you an ATIN or an ITIN as a result of the application, the IRS will consider your ATIN or ITIN as issued on or before the due date of your return. Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar months of the tax year was enrolled as a full-time student at a school, or took a fulltime, on-farm training course given by a school or a state, county, or local government agency. A school includes a technical, trade, or mechanical school. It does not include an on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet.

Schedule E: Other Taxes Line 1 - Use Tax on Internet, Mail Order and/or Out- Of-State Purchases If, while a resident of Indiana, you made purchases while you were outside Indiana, through the mail (for instance, by catalog or offer through the mail), through radio or television advertising and/or over the Internet, these purchases may be subject to Indiana sales and use tax, if sales tax was not paid at the time of purchase. This tax, called "use" tax, is figured at 7% (.07). Effective July 1, 2025, use tax also applies to the purchase price of services and items other than tangible personal property that are subject to Indiana sales tax but on which sales tax was not paid in whole or in part. When you make purchases from a company in Indiana, that company is responsible for collecting the Indiana sales tax from you. When you make purchases from an out-of-state company, you are responsible for making sure the use tax is paid. Either the out-of-state company collects the tax from you, or you must pay the tax directly to the State of Indiana. To calculate the amount of purchases subject to the use tax, multiply the total purchase price of all taxable purchases by 7% and enter the amount. If you paid sales tax to the state where the item was originally purchased, you are allowed a credit against your Indiana use tax for an amount paid up to 7%. To report any other unpaid taxes such as county innkeeper's tax or food and beverage tax, please use form ST-115. Line 2 - Household Employment Taxes If, while you lived in Indiana, you paid cash wages during 2025 to an individual who is not: • Y our spouse, • Y our child under age 21, • Y our parent, • An employee under age 18; and the individual worked in and around your home as a baby-sitter, nanny, health aide, private nurse, maid, caretaker, yard worker or someone who does similar domestic duties, then that individual may be defined as your employee. See Federal Publication 926, Household Employer's Tax Guide, for more information on how to define an employee. Visit www.irs.gov or call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. If you paid cash wages of $2,200 or more to a household worker who is your employee, or total cash wages of $1,000 or more in any calendar quarter of 2024 or 2025 to all household employees, you may have withheld state and county income taxes. To pay these taxes on your Indiana income tax return, contact DOR for Schedule I N-H, or download one from www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current. Line 3 - Recapture of certain Indiana offset credits Indiana requires the recapture of certain offset credits if certain conditions are met. Currently, these credits include the ABLE 529A Account Credit, Employer Child Care Expenditure Credit, Indiana529 Education Savings Plan Credit, Physician Practice Ownership Tax Credit, and the Residential Historic Rehabilitation Credit. • If contributions were made to an Indiana ABLE 529A account in which you are the account owner and a non-qualified withdrawal(s) from this plan was made during the tax year, you will probably have to repay some or all of any credits previously claimed. • Y ou may need to recapture some or all of the credits previously claimed for the Employer Child Care Expenditure Credit if you did not meet certain requirements. • If contributions were made to an Indiana529 Education Savings Plan in which you are the account owner and a non-qualified withdrawal(s) from this plan was made during the tax year, you will probably have to repay some or all of any credits previously claimed. • Y ou may need to recapture some or all of the credits previously claimed for the Physician Practice Ownership Tax Credit if you did not meet certain continuation of ownership and practice requirements. • Y ou may need to recapture some or all of the credits previously claimed for the Residential Historic Rehabilitation Credit if you did not meet certain requirements. Complete and enclose Schedule I N-CR if you have an amount to be recaptured. Enter the total amount to be recaptured on line 3. Download Schedule I N-CR by visiting www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current. Line 4 - Nonresident professional team member's county tax from Schedule I N-PRO Enter the total county tax reported on line 11 of Schedule I N-PRO.

Schedule F: Credits
Lines 1 and 2 - Indiana State and County Tax Withheld If you are reporting any tax withheld on your behalf, report the Indiana state and local taxes on these lines. Report the state and county withholdings separately. Do not claim credit for taxes withheld for states other than Indiana or for localities outside Indiana. The amount of Indiana state tax withheld is usually shown in box 17 and the amount of Indiana county tax withheld is usually shown in box 19 of your W-2s. Indiana state and county withholding amounts may also be present on other forms, including W-2Gs, various 1099s, Form I N -MSID-A and Schedule I N K-1. Yo u must enclose your (and your spouse's, if married filing jointly) withholding statements, including W-2s, W-2Gs, 1099s, Form I N -MSID-A and Schedule I N K-1s, with your tax return to verify Indiana state and county taxes claimed as being withheld. If you had more than one job, a W-2 form for each job must be attached to the tax return so you can get credit for all Indiana state and county tax withheld. Failure to enclose all necessary withholding statements will result in a reduced refund or increase in the amount you owe. In addition to the withholding statements, you must also enclose Schedule I N -W . If you had Indiana state tax and/or county tax withheld on any other form, such as a W-2G or 1099R, you must attach them to the tax return to get credit for the amount withheld. Important. The use of substitute W-2s will delay the processing of your return and may impact the issuance of any refund. A note about your withholding statements. It is important that any statement reporting withholding is readable. The state and county tax amounts withheld are verified on every withholding statement that comes in with your tax return. These amounts also should be reflected on Schedule I N -W . If you are not filing electronically, we encourage you to enclose the best copy available when you file. In some cases, verification of withholding may be delayed if the business withholding the tax is late filing copies of withholding statements. Special instructions for composite filers. Additional state/county withholdings may have been made on your behalf by a partnership and/or S corporation that files with Indiana. Information about these withholdings will be made available to you on Schedule I N K-1. Make sure to include any withholdings from Lines 11 and 12 of Schedule I N K-1, and enclose the schedule when filing. Line 3 - Pass Through Entity Tax Credit If you are claiming a credit for Indiana pass through entity tax, report the Pass Through Entity Tax (PTET) credited to you from Schedule I N K-1 or IT-41 Schedule I N K-1.

Instead, file the simplified Form SC-40 to claim this credit.* *Y ou may file Form SC-40 electronically using DOR's e-services portal, I N T I M E, by visiting intime.dor.in.gov.

The amount of the credit is 20% of the federal credit allowed per child, or $2,500 per child, whichever is less. If you are claiming a credit because of a federal carryover of the adoption credit, the total credit allowable for the child is limited to $2,500. Federal adoption carryforward credits. A carryforward credit claimed on federal Form 8839 may be allowed if it is from the preceding five tax years (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and/or 2024). To figure the credit, use the Adoption Credit Worksheet on page 40. Use lines 6 through 30 if you are carrying forward a credit from a previous year. Complete only the lines applicable to the year(s) from which you are carrying forward a credit. If you are not claiming a credit based on any federal adoption credit carryforward, skip lines 6 through 30. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #111 at
w ww.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib111.pdf for more information a bout this credit. Note. Indiana has incorporated the federal refundable credit limitation under IRC section 23(a)(4) into its allowance of the federal credit. Any portion of the federal credit in excess of your federal tax liability (after application of credits required to be applied before the adoption credit) is allowed for purposes of determining the Indiana credit. Maintain with your records a copy of the federal Form 8839, federal Adoption Credit Carryforward Worksheets (if applicable), and federal Form 1040 as DOR can require you to provide this information at a later date.

Y ou may contribute all or a portion of your Form IT-40, line 16 overpayment to the following funds: • Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund 200 The Indiana Wildlife Diversity Program offers you the opportunity to play an active role in conserving Indiana's nongame and endangered wildlife. This program is funded through public donations to the Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund. The money you donate goes directly to the protection and management of more than 750 wildlife species in Indiana - from songbirds and salamanders to state-endangered Trumpeter swans and spotted turtles. Enter both the name of the fund and the amount you wish to donate under line 1, and enter 200 as the designated 3-digit code number. Also, see the Limitation below.

Y ou may make a contribution online by visiting www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildlife/nongame-and-endangered-wildlife and clicking "Donate to the Fund. " • Military Family Relief Fund 201 The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs' Military Family Relief Fund provides emergency grants to be used by military and veteran families. The funds can be utilized for needs such as food, housing, utilities, medical services, transportation, and other essential family support expenses which have become difficult to afford. The Military Family Relief Fund has helped more than 2000 families since its inception in 2007. Enter both the name of the fund and the amount you wish to donate under line 1, and enter 201 as the designated 3-digit code number. Also, see the Limitation below. If you do not have an overpayment, but want to support the Military Family Relief Fund, you may make a contribution by writing a check made payable to the Military Family Relief Fund and send it to the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs, 302 W .

Limitation The combination of the amounts you wish to donate to these funds cannot exceed the overpayment shown on Form IT-40PNR, line 16. • If the total of the donations designated on this schedule is more than your available overpayment, the donation(s) will be reduced on a pro rata basis. For example, Sam wants to donate $20 to each fund, for a total of $60. His actual overpayment is $51. The donations to the three funds will be evenly reduced to $17 each. • If you entered a donation to one or more of these funds, and wish to apply some of your overpayment to next years estimated tax account, the overpayment will be applied first to the selected fund(s) and then to the estimated tax account. Any remaining overpayment will be refunded to you. For example, Aaron donated $100 to the Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund, and is applying $50 to next year's estimated tax account. His actual overpayment is only $110. The full $100 will be applied to the selected fund; the remaining $10 will be applied to next year's estimated tax account.

Contact the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, One North Capitol, Suite 700, Indianapolis, I N 46204 for additional information. See the Restriction for Certain Tax Credits - Limited to One per Project below for additional limitations. Also, see the Combined Limitation below. Line 3 - Other Local Credits Currently, there are no other local credits available to be reported in this space.
Schedule G: Offset Credits
Restriction for Certain Tax Credits - Limited to One per Project A taxpayer may not be granted more than one credit for the same project. The credits that are subject to this limitation are the alternative fuel vehicle manufacturer credit, community revitalization enhancement district credit, enterprise zone investment cost credit, Hoosier business investment credit, industrial recovery credit, and the venture capital investment credit. For more information see Income Tax Information Bulletin #59 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib59.pdf. Apply this restriction first when figuring your credits. Then apply the Combined Limitation. Combined Limitation There is one final limitation if you claim more than one credit on lines 1 through 3 of Schedule G. These credits, when combined, cannot be greater than the county tax shown on Form IT-40PNR line 9; if they are, adjust the amounts before you enter them. See the following Order of Application and example for guidance. Order of Application First, use the credits which cannot be carried over and applied against your county tax in another year. This means apply any credit for local taxes paid outside Indiana first, then apply any community revitalization enhancement district credit. How to Adjust the Amount of Credit to be Entered (Example) Example. Megan is eligible to claim a $100 credit for local taxes paid outside Indiana plus a $200 Community Revitalization Enhancement District credit (CRED), for a $300 total amount in offset credits. Her county tax due (IT-40PNR, line 9) is $160. Since her combined credits are more than her county tax due, she should reduce the last entry (the $200 CRED credit) by the $140 difference to $60. She will enter the full $100 credit for local taxes paid outside Indiana on Schedule G, line 1, and the $60 limited CRED credit on line 3a. Note. Megan may use the $140 remaining CRED credit to offset any state adjusted gross income tax due on this year's tax return (IT-40PNR, line 8). See additional instructions for the CRED credit on page 47. Line 4 - College Credit If you donated money or property to an Indiana college or university, you may be able to take a credit of up to $100 on a single return or $200 on a joint return. To claim this credit you must complete and enclose Schedule CC-40. For additional information, see Schedule CC-40 at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current and Income Tax Information Bulletin #14 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib14.pdf. Important. Y ou must maintain documentation of your contributions. DOR can require you to provide this information at a later date. Note. Tuition paid to a college or university is not a contribution, and does not qualify for this credit. See the Combined Limitation on page 54. Line 5 - Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States If you received income from another state while you were an Indiana resident, you must report that income on your Indiana income tax return. Y ou may be able to take a credit for taxes paid to another state. If you had income from another state, and had to pay taxes to that state, read the following instructions carefully. If you were an Indiana resident during part or all of the tax year and had income from any of the states listed in Group A below, you should first find out what the other state's rules are concerning the taxation of your income. Group A No Agreement (Credit taken on resident return) Alabama Louisiana North Carolina Arkansas Maine North Dakota California Maryland Oklahoma Colorado Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut Minnesota South Carolina Delaware Mississippi Utah Georgia Missouri Vermont Hawaii Montana Virginia Idaho Nebraska Washington* Illinois New Jersey West Virginia Iowa New Mexico Kansas Ne w Yo r k Any foreign countries or U.S. possessions * Capital gains only. If you are personally subject to the District of Columbia Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax (D-30) on income that you received while you are an Indiana resident, you may claim a credit against your Indiana adjusted gross income tax for those taxes. Do not claim a credit for taxes paid to the District of Columbia from Form D-40 except as provided for Group C states. Note. If: • Y ou are an owner or beneficiary of a partnership, S corporation, estate, trust, or similar pass-through entity; • The entity is subject to another state's pass through entity tax enacted after 2017; and • The pass through entity tax is substantially similar to Indiana's PTET; you are eligible to claim a credit for that other state's pass through entity tax as if you paid the tax directly. In addition, if you have composite or withholding taxes paid by a pass through entity on your behalf, you are eligible for credit for those taxes as well. Group A Worksheet A. Enter the amount of tax paid to the other state. (This does not mean the tax withheld from your wages, but the actual tax figured on the other state's return) ..................................... A _________ B. Multiply the amount of income from the other state (that is subject to Indiana tax) by 3% (.03) ................................................................B _________ C. Enter the amount of Indiana state income tax shown on Form IT-40PNR line 8 .................. C _________
Schedule G: Offset Credits Continued
The lesser of the amounts on A, B or C is your allowable credit for taxes paid to other states. If you filed an income tax return with another state, you must provide a copy of that state's income tax return. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #28 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib28.pdf for a list of acceptable documentation when a return is not filed with another state. Example. Sarah owns an interest in a partnership. Her share of the partnership's income is $100,000 and her share of the partnership's bonus depreciation is $10,000. The partnership derived 40% of its income from Illinois sources, and Sarah paid $2,000 of state income tax to Illinois. Her Indiana state tax liability is $5,000. She will enter the following: A. $2,000 (tax paid to Illinois) B. $1,320 (($100,000 income plus $10,000 bonus depreciation) multiplied by .4 (share of partnership income from Illinois sources) multiplied by .03 (tax due to Indiana)) C. $5,000 (Form IT-40PNR line 8) Sarah's credit is $1,320, the lesser of A, B, and C. Exception 1 - Gambling winnings from other states. If you're not required to file another state's income tax return to report gambling winnings from that state, enclose the W-2G issued for that state. Use the amount of state tax withheld by that state on Line A of the Group A Worksheet. Exception 2. If you are subject to Indiana state income tax on income: • Earned while an Indiana resident, • Earned from a non-United States country or territory, and • That is not currently subject to tax in that country but will be taxed in a later year; enclose the following information with your return: • The country or territory in which the income is subject to tax • The type of income (dividends, interest, etc.) • The amount of income • The reason the income is deferred by the country • The tax that will be due upon the income upon recognition by the foreign country • The credit for taxes paid to another state claimed on the income (include a computation similar to the Group A worksheet above). If claiming credit for taxes paid to foreign country, include one of the following: • Federal Form 1116 • Canadian Form NR4 • A qualified payee statement reporting foreign income and tax. Qualified payee statements include Form 1099-D I V , Form 1099-I N T , Schedule K-1, Schedule K-3, or similar substitute statements. Group B Reciprocal Agreement (Wages, Salaries, Tips, and Commissions Only) Kentucky Ohio Wisconsin Michigan Pennsylvania If you were an Indiana resident during the tax year and had income from one of the states listed in Group B, you are covered by a reciprocal agreement. However, this agreement only applies to income from wages, salaries, tips and commissions. If you had other types of income from these states (such as business income, farm income, etc.), use the Group A Worksheet to figure your credit. Normally, employers in these states will withhold Indiana state tax from your wages because of the reciprocal agreement. However, if the state tax they withheld is not for Indiana, you must file a claim for refund with that state. Y ou still have to include this income on your Indiana return and pay the Indiana tax. Y ou'll get some or all of the other state's taxes back by filing a refund claim with them. If you were a full resident of one of the reciprocal states and had other types of income from Indiana, or were a part-year Indiana resident, you will need to file Form IT-40PNR. Note. Winnings from Indiana riverboats and lotteries are not eligible for the reciprocal agreement. Caution. Y ou may have to make estimated tax payments to Indiana. If the reciprocal state employer does not withhold Indiana withholding on your wage income, or does not withhold enough, see page 9 for information on how to figure and pay estimated tax. If you were a full-year resident of one of the reciprocal states and your income from Indiana was from wages, salaries, tips and commissions, you should file Form IT-40RNR, Reciprocal Nonresident Income Tax Return. If you were a resident of one of the reciprocal states and had other types of income from Indiana, or were a part-year Indiana resident, you will need to file Form IT-40PNR. Group C Reverse Credit (Credit taken on nonresident return) Arizona Oregon Washington D.C. If you were an Indiana resident during the tax year and had income from one of the states in Group C, you must pay Indiana tax on all your income. Y ou will also need to file a nonresident return with the other state and claim a credit on their tax return for the Indiana tax paid. If you were a resident of a Group C state and had income from Indiana, you must file an Indiana nonresident return, figure your tax, and then claim a credit for taxes paid to other states on the Indiana nonresident return. Make sure to attach a copy of the other state's return to substantiate the credit. Group D No State Income Tax (No credit allowed) Alaska New Hampshire Texas Florida South Dakota Wyoming Nevada Tennessee If you were an Indiana resident during the tax year and had income from one of the states in Group D, you are not allowed to claim this credit. These states do not have an income tax. Y ou must file an Indiana resident return and pay Indiana tax on all your income.

They include: • Certain expenses for professional development courses related to the curriculum, or to the students, that the educator teaches. • Protective items, such as face masks; disinfectant; hand soap; hand sanitizer; disposable gloves; tape, paint, or chalk to guide social distancing; physical barriers (for example, clear plexiglass); air purifiers; and other items recommended by the CDC to be used for the prevention of the spread of disease. Reimbursements. Y ou must reduce your expenses for the qualified supplies by any reimbursements you received that were not included in box 1 of your Form W-2. Example 1. Jonah spent $40 for qualified supplies; he was reimbursed for $30 out of petty cash, none of which was included on his W-2. He will claim the $10 difference as a credit. Figure the credit. The amount of the credit is the lesser of: • The total amount paid for qualified supplies, less any reimbursements for those qualified supplies not included on line 1 of your W-2, or • $100. Example 2. Liam was an 8th grade teacher for four months at an Indiana public school. During that time period he spent $314 for qualified supplies. He is eligible to claim a $100 credit. Example 3. Chris and Pat are employed as teachers at an Indiana public high school. They are filing a joint tax return. During the year Chris spent $74 for qualified supplies; Chris's credit is $74. Pat spent $214 for qualified supplies; Pat's credit is $100 (limited to the lesser of the amount Pat spent or $100). They will claim a $174 combined credit. Important. Make sure to keep a copy of the expense receipts used to figure this credit as DOR can require you to provide this information at a later date. Note. Claiming an educator expense deduction on your federal tax return in no way prohibits you from being eligible to claim this credit on your state tax return. Enter code 861 under line 6 if claiming this credit. See the Combined Limitation on page 54. Railroad Expenditures Tax Credit 882 Effective Jan. 1, 2025, a taxpayer may claim a credit for qualified railroad expenditures. The amount of the credit is equal to 50% of the taxpayer's qualified railroad expenditures, but may not exceed the number of miles of Class II or Class III railroad track owned or leased by the taxpayer in Indiana at the close of the taxable year multiplied by $3,500. A credit application may only be filed with the department after completion of the project. The department must evaluate a taxpayer's eligibility to be certified the credit based on a taxpayer submitting the number of miles of railroad track owned or leased in Indiana and a description and certification of the amount of the taxpayer's qualified railroad expenditures. The credit may be assigned in writing. A taxpayer may make only one assignment and the assignee may not subsequently assign the credit. If the transferor of an assignment is a tax exempt entity (meaning a government agency or an organization that is recognized as exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) the transfer must be completed on or before the date that is one year after the close of the tax year for which the credit was certified.

Schedule G: Offset Credits Continued
How to Adjust the Amount of Credit to Enter (Examples) Example. Tanya is eligible to claim both a $200 College Credit and a $300 Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States, for a $500 total amount of offset credits. Her state adjusted gross income tax due (IT-40PNR, line 8) is $360. Since her combined credits are $140 more than her state tax due, she should reduce the last entry (the $300 Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States) by the $140 difference to $160. She will enter the full $200 College Credit on Schedule G, line 4, and the $160 limited Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States on line 5. Example. Matthew has a $500 Indiana529 Savings Plan Credit and a $600 Industrial Recovery Credit. His state adjusted gross income tax due (IT-40PNR, line 8) is $700. He will report the full $500 Indiana529 Savings Plan Credit on Schedule G, line 6a, and enter $200 of the Industrial Recovery Credit on line 6b. He will carry the $400 remaining unused Industrial Recovery Credit over to next year's tax return. Schedule H Section 1: Residency Information Your (and Spouse's) Information Tell us where you were a resident during 2025 by completing this area. Enter the 2-letter name for the other state(s) where you lived. Complete the area asking for the time period you lived in Indiana and/or other state(s). If you lived in more than one state other than Indiana, let us know where and when. Note. If you were a resident of a foreign country during all or a part of 2025, enter the 2-letter code "OC" for other country. In addition, indicate whether or not you filed a tax return with the state/country you were a resident of in 2025. Schedule H Section 2: Additional Required Information Line 1 - Federal Filing Information Y ou must place an "X" in the "yes" or "no" box to answer the question: " Are you filing a federal income tax return for 2025?" Line 2 - Extension of Time to File Information Place an "X" in the box on line 2a if you have a federal extension of time to file (you filed federal Form 4868, Form 2350, or made an online extension payment). Place an "X" in the box on line 2b if you have an Indiana extension of time to file (you filed Form IT-9 or made an online extension payment).
Line 3 - Farmers and Fishermen
Farmers and fishermen have special filing considerations. If at least two-thirds (2/3) of your gross income is from farming or fishing, mark the box provided on Schedule H, line 3, and place an "F" on Form IT-40PNR, line 20a. This will make sure that a penalty for the underpayment of estimated tax is not assessed provided you have followed through by: Schedule H, Section 1 and Section 2 • Paying all your estimated tax on or by Jan. 15, 2026, and filing your Form IT-40PNR by April 15, 2026, or • Filing your Form IT-40PNR by March 2, 2026, and paying all the tax due at that time. Y ou are not required to make an estimated tax payment if you use this option.
Line 4 - Non- or Partially- Responsible Spouse Place an "X" in this box if you are a spouse who claims to not be liable for all or part of a tax liability because the remaining liability is that of the other spouse. Y ou may be filing as a spouse who claims to not be liable for all or part of a tax liability if: • Y ou have a tax liability reported on a joint return for which you are not responsible; • Y ou have a tax liability reported on a joint return, but you are responsible only for a portion of the liability; or • Y ou have received an assessment from the Indiana Department of Revenue and you are not liable for all or part of the assessment because the assessment arises from the tax attributable to your spouse. If filing as a non- or partially- responsible spouse who claims to not be liable for all or part of a tax liability, complete and submit Schedule I N -40PA ( www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current), along with any supporting documentation.

A blank entry in a box will be treated as if you and/or your spouse worked the full calendar year in Indiana. Personal Representative Information Typically, DOR will contact you (and your spouse, if filing jointly) if there are any questions or concerns about your tax return. If you wish to allow DOR to discuss your tax return with someone else (e.g. the person who prepared it, a relative or friend, etc.), you will need to complete this area. First, you must check the "Y es" box, which follows the sentence, "I authorize DOR to discuss my tax return with my personal representative. "
Next, enter the name of the individual you are designating as your personal representative, that person's telephone number, and that person's complete address. If you complete this area, you are authorizing DOR to be in contact with someone other than you concerning information about this tax return. Note. If you are due a refund, it will be paid to you (and your spouse, if filing jointly) even if you designate a personal representative. Y ou may decide at any time to revoke the authorization for DOR to speak with your personal representative. Y ou will need to provide a signed statement indicating you revoke this authorization. Include your name, Social Security number and the year of your tax return. Mail your statement to Indiana Department of Revenue, P .O. Box 40, Indianapolis, I N 46206-0040. Paid Preparer Information Have your paid preparer complete this area (even if the paid preparer is the same individual designated as your personal representative). The paid preparer must provide: • The name of the firm that he/she represents, • The preparer's tax identification number (PTIN), and • The firm's address or his/her address if self-employed. Opt-Out Designation There are many benefits to electronic filing, which include: • Elimination of math errors • Faster refunds Paid preparers are required to electronically file all Indiana individual income tax returns if they prepare more than 10 tax returns annually. If you use a paid preparer and do not want your tax return to be filed electronically, you must complete a state Form I N -OPT. This form requires your signature (and your spouse's, if filing jointly), and must be maintained by your paid preparer with his or her records. Get Form I N -OPT at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/individual/current for more information. Make sure you keep a copy of your completed tax return, including all required enclosures, such as W-2s and schedules. Schedule IT-40N O L and Carryforward Worksheet A separate Schedule IT-40N O L must be used for each loss year. Indiana Code 6-3-2-2.5 and 6-3-2-2.6 allow for a net operating loss (N O L ) deduction from Indiana adjusted gross income. All loss years ending after Jan. 1, 2004, and any existing N O L (s) carried over to a taxable year after this date must be recomputed by applying the amended provisions of this Act. Deductions for net operating losses that were incurred in taxable years ending before Jan. 1, 2004, and carried back or forward and deducted in taxable years ending before Jan. 1, 2004, are calculated under the law in effect for the year the N O L was incurred. For tax years 2021 and later, itemized deductions are not permitted in determining Indiana net operating losses. In addition, if you have a net operating loss carryforward that was calculated in whole or in part using an itemized deduction, you must recalculate the net operating loss without the itemized deduction in order to determine the amount to be carried forward. * The application of the N O L in the pre-2004 tax year(s) must conform with the rules that govern those years. Do not refigure the amount of deduction used in the pre-2004 tax years. When to use an Indiana N O L Carryback and carryforward years. Public Law 172-2011 amends IC 6-3-2-2.5 and IC 6-3-2-2.6. It provides that no Indiana net operating loss carryback claim may be filed after Dec. 31, 2011. Example. Paul has an Indiana N O L for the 2010 tax year. Paul did not file an Indiana N O L carryback claim before Jan. 1, 2012. Therefore, he will have to carry the loss forward. Note. This rule will have no impact on carryback claims filed before Jan. 1, 2012. Example. Ross has a $200,000 Indiana N O L for the 2010 tax year. In October of 2011 he carried this loss back to his 2008 and 2009 Indiana returns. He used $75,000 of the loss in 2008, and $100,000 of the loss in 2009. He has a $25,000 loss available to be carried to tax year 2011. Indiana N O L s may be carried forward for up to 20 years following the loss year (HEA 1316-2018(ss), Sec. 5). Note. If you potentially had a net operating loss for 2018 through 2021, please see the specific modifications for Line 2 related to those years and later. Part 1 - Computation of Indiana N O L Enter the loss year (this is the year in which the N O L occurred). P .L. 81-2004, effective Jan. 1, 2004, provides for an N O L deduction from Indiana adjusted gross income equal to the amount of a federal N O L , computed under I R C Section 172, for the taxable year, that is derived from sources from within Indiana, and adjusted for modifications under IC 6-3-1-3.5. The federal N O L for individuals, which reflects the I R C Section 172 application, is computed on IRS Form 172, Part 1, or the equivalent worksheet from IRS Publication 536. Note. The use of Indiana modifications may result in an Indiana net operating loss even if there is no federal N O L . Line 1. Enter your adjusted gross income from Line 1 of Form IT- 40PNR. Line 2. Enter the sum of certain Indiana add-backs and deductions that you reported on your Form IT-40PNR here. The amount will be the 100-code add-backs other than Code 155 minus the 600-code deductions. For years before 2023, the 100-series codes listed below will be reported on Line 2 of the IT-40N O L and the 600-series codes will be

County Tax: Schedule CT-40PNR If you live or work in an Indiana county as of Jan. 1 of the tax year, you will probably owe county tax. Complete the county tax Schedule CT- 40PNR to figure if you do owe, and how much it will be. County Where Y ou Lived Defined The county where you lived is the county where you maintained your home on Jan. 1, 2025. If you had more than one home on this date, then your county of residence as of Jan. 1, 2025, was: • Where you were registered to vote. If this did not apply, then your county of residence was • Where your personal automobile was registered. If this did not apply, then your county of residence was • Where you spent the majority of your time in Indiana during 2025. Did You Move During the Y ear? If you moved your residence to a different Indiana county (or out of state) during the year, but after Jan. 1, 2025, the county where you lived for tax purposes will not change until next year. County Tax Instructions County Where Y ou Worked Defined The county where you worked (county of principal employment) is the county where your main place of business was located or where your main work activity was performed on Jan. 1, 2025. If you began working in another county (or out of state) after Jan. 1, 2025, the county where you worked for tax purposes will not change until next year. Example. Jessie worked in Marion County, Indiana, on Jan. 1, 2025. She quit that job and began a new one in Johnson County, Indiana, on Feb. 10, 2025. She will enter the Marion County two-digit code "49" in the County Where Y ou Worked box on the front of Form IT-40PNR even though she changed jobs during the year. If you had more than one job on Jan. 1, 2025, your principal place of employment is the county where you worked the most hours and earned the most income. If, on Jan. 1, 2025, your county of principal employment was not in Indiana, write county code "00" (out-of-state) in the County Where Y ou Worked box on the front of the IT-40PNR. Exception. If you worked in any of the following states on Jan. 1, 2025, enter their two-digit code number (instead of 00): State Use Code # State Use Code # Illinois 94 Ohio 97 Kentucky 95 Pennsylvania 98 Michigan 96 Wisconsin 99 Principal Employment Income Y ou must figure your principal employment income if, on Jan. 1, 2025, you lived out-of-state and were employed in an Indiana county. Y our principal employment income is income you earned from the county of your main Indiana work activity (job) for the entire year. See instructions for Section 2, line 1 on page 61 for more information. Military Personnel If you were stationed in Indiana, your county of residence is the county where you lived on Jan. 1 of the year you entered the military service. If, on Jan. 1, 2025, you were stationed outside Indiana and your family was with you, write county code "00" (out-of-state) in all the county boxes on Form IT-40PNR (you won't owe a county tax). If, however, you maintained your home in an Indiana county and/or your spouse and family were still living in an Indiana county on
Jan. 1, 2025, you are considered to be a resident of that county and will be subject to county tax. Retired Persons, Homemakers or Unemployed If you were retired, a homemaker, or were unemployed on Jan. 1, 2025, put your county of residence two-digit code number in both the Indiana County where you lived and Indiana County Where Y ou Worked boxes on Form IT-40. Do not write the word "Retired, " "Homemaker" or "Unemployed" over the boxes.
Special Note to Married T axpayers Filing a Joint Return • If you lived in different Indiana counties on Jan. 1, 2025, you need to figure your county tax separately on Section 1. • If both of you lived out-of-state on Jan. 1, 2025, but worked in different Indiana counties, you must figure your tax separately on Section 2. • If only one of you is subject to county tax, then you may use all of the exemptions from Schedule D, line 8, except for your spouse's personal exemption, to figure your tax.* *Example. On Schedule D Jack and Sue claim $2,000 on line 1, one exemption ($1,000) on line 2, and one additional dependent exemption ($1,500) on line 3. The line 6 amount is $4,500. The line 7 amount is .40. Jack can use $1,400 (the $3,500 exemption amount multiplied by .40 equals $1,400) to figure his county tax. County Tax Schedule CT-40PNR Section 1: Line-by-Line Instructions Principal Place of Residence Address Enter the street address where you lived on Jan. 1 of the current year. Y ou may enter a rural route address if that is the mailing address of your residence. See instructions for "County Where Y ou Lived Defined" for additional information and special rules.
Y ou must complete this section even if the address is the same as your mailing address on page 1 of the return.
If you are married and filing a joint return, you must also complete this information for your spouse. If you or your spouse are listing an address located in a foreign country, enter the 2-character foreign country code, which may be found online at
Do not enter: • A post office box • A non-residential address • "Same" , "See page 1" , "Same as above" , or similar language. Where Did Y ou Live? Did you live in an Indiana county on Jan. 1, 2025? If "yes, " complete Section 1 for yourself, and skip Section 2. If your answer is "no, " skip Section 1 and go to Section 2: Line-By-Line instructions. If you are filing a joint return, did your spouse live in an Indiana county on Jan. 1, 2025? If yes, complete Section 1 for your spouse, and skip Section 2. If your answer is no, skip Section 1 and go to Section 2: Line-By-Line instructions.
Line 1
If you are completing Section 1, state taxable income means: • State taxable income from Line 7 of Form IT-40PNR; plus • Any Indiana-source income from wages, tips, or other compensation earned while you are a resident of a reciprocal state (Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin). If you are filing a single return or are married filing separately, enter in Column A your state taxable income. If you are filing a joint return and you both lived in the same Indiana county on Jan. 1, 2025, enter in Column A your combined state taxable income. Leave Column B blank. Example. On Jan. 1, 2025, Jack and Diane lived in the same Indiana county. They will enter their combined state taxable income in Column A. If you are filing a joint return and you and your spouse lived in different Indiana counties on Jan. 1, 2025, enter each person's share of state taxable income in the appropriate columns. Following are three examples for when a taxpayer and spouse file married filing jointly but live in different Indiana counties on Jan. 1 of the tax year. Example 1. Simon and Tina married in 2025 and are filing a joint return. On Jan. 1, 2025, Simon lived in Greene County (Indiana) and Tina lived in Clay County (Indiana). Their federal adjusted gross income is $55,400. Their proration percentage from Schedule A, Line 21D is .549. None of their income is derived from wages from a reciprocal state. Their state taxable income (subject to tax in Indiana) of $29,302 includes the following breakdown: Simon: $23,000 wages + 200 (½ joint interest income) - 549 exemption* 19,651 income for CT-40PNR Section 1, line 1 Column A Tina: $10,000 wages + 200 (½ joint interest income) - 549 exemption* 9,651 income for CT-40PNR Section 1, line 1 Column B * Exemptions. Schedule D line 8 is .549 multiplied by $2,000 = $1,098. Simon and Tina will each use one-half of that total, or $549. Example 2. Same facts as the example above, except that Simon and Tina moved to Ohio but Simon continued to work in Indiana. Simon's wages from the period after moving to Ohio were $5,000, not included on Line 7 of the IT-40 PNR. Simon would use $25,000 ($20,000 earned while an Indiana resident plus $5,000 earned from Indiana sources while an Ohio resident) instead of $20,000, which would make his income for CT-40PNR, Section 1, line 1 Column A $24,651 ($25,000 plus $200 minus $549). Use of exemptions when separating income. Each spouse must use their own: • Personal $1,000 exemption (included on Schedule D, line 1), • Age 65 or older exemption (included on Schedule D, line 4), • Additional age 65 exemption (included on Schedule D, line 5), when figuring their share of net income subject to county tax. Additional exemptions for dependents should be divvied up in whole* in a way that provides the most benefit to the individuals. This usually results with the individual with the higher county tax rate using all of the dependent exemptions when figuring county tax. Exception. If you or your spouse have negative income after exemptions, the negative income amount may be used to reduce the County Tax Instructions Continued
positive income of the other spouse. In this situation only can the exemptions of one spouse be used to reduce the income of the other spouse. *Exemptions must be used in whole. For example, a $1,000 exemption may not be separated into $700 to be used by one spouse, with the remaining $300 to be used by the other spouse. The full $1,000 must be used by one spouse only. Note. The total amount of exemptions used in Section 1 may not be greater than the total amount of exemptions reported on Schedule D, line 9. Example 3. Sam and Molly married in Jan. 2025 and are filing a joint return. On Jan. 1, 2025, Sam lived in County A, which has a county tax rate of .01. Molly lived in County B, which has a county tax rate of .025. They claim their five-year old son Sebastian as a dependent, and also claim him as an additional dependent exemption. Their total exemptions before proration are $4,500 ($1,000 each for Sam and Molly, $1,000 for Sebastian, plus the $1,500 additional dependent exemption for Sebastian). Sam's Indiana wage income is $49,000; Molly's is $45,000. They claimed a $2,500 homeowner's property tax deduction. They moved to Minnesota in November of the tax year and earned $31,333 after moving there. Their proration amount is 75% (.75). Molly will use all of the prorated exemptions except for Sam's personal exemption ($1,000 x .75 = $750) when figuring her share of income subject to county tax since she has the higher county tax rate. Their individual share of the $88,125 state taxable income reported on line 7 of their Form IT-40PNR is to be reported on Schedule CT- 40PNR between Column A and Column B in the following way: Sam: $49,000 wages - 1,250 (½ property tax deduction) - 750 exemption total (after proration)* 47,000 amount for CT-40PNR Section 1, line 1 Column A Molly: $45,000 wages - 1,250 (½ property tax deduction) - 2,625 exemption total (after proration)* 41,125 amount for CT-40PNR Section 1, line 1 Column B *Sam's prorated exemption total is $750 ($1,000 multiplied by .75). Molly's prorated exemption total is $2,625 ($3,500 multiplied by .75). Sam will enter $47,000 on line 1A and Molly will enter $41,125 on line 1B.

Otherwise, enter the result here and on line 9 of Form IT-40PNR. County Tax Schedule CT-40PNR Section 2: Line-By-Line Instructions Where Did Y ou Work? Did you work in an Indiana county on Jan. 1, 2025? If "yes, " complete this section. If your answer is "no, " you will not owe any county tax. Do not complete this section on your behalf. If you are filing a joint return, did your spouse work in an Indiana county on Jan. 1, 2025? If yes, complete this section. If your answer is "no, " your spouse will not owe any county tax. Do not complete this section on your spouse's behalf. Note. If: • Y ou or your spouse are both subject to Indiana county tax, and • Either you or your spouse has a negative income subject to tax after exemption, you may combine the two incomes into the total of the spouse with positive income. Disregard any contrary instructions below for allocations between spouses below in this circumstance only.
Line 1
Enter your principal employment or business income that is included on Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, Column B* (if you are a resident of a reciprocal state [Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin], see Reciprocal state residents below). This can include income from:
• Wages, tips, salaries and commissions. This includes amounts earned from secondary or part-time employment in the same county as your county of principal business or employment; • Net self-employment income from federal Schedule C/C-EZ, Schedule I N K-1, and/or net farm income from federal Schedule F; • The portion of income from a trade or business, including income listed on a Schedule I N K-1 and derived from the primary county of employment if you are actively involved in the business; • Sales or exchanges of property located in the county of your principal place of business or employment; and/or • Rental or real or tangible personal property in the county of principal business or employment. Do not include passive-source income like nonbusiness interest and dividends, pension, capital gains from the sale of securities, unemployment compensation, etc. Example. During 2025, Jake received income from the following Indiana sources (included on Indiana Schedule A, Section 1, Column B): • $15,000 from his full-time job (held for the entire year) in Vigo County • $1,850 from his part-time job in Vigo county • $3,000 from his part-time job in Clay county • $50 nonbusiness interest income • $800 pension income Jake will enter his income from Vigo County on line 1. This includes both his $15,000 from his full-time job and $1,850 from his parttime job, for a total of $16,850. He will not enter his $3,000 from Clay County, the nonbusiness interest income, and the pension income. *Exception. A spouse of a nonresident military servicemember who claims the nonresident military spouse earned income deduction on Schedule C, line 11, will not owe county tax on that income. Example. Jo Anne and her husband John are Illinois residents. They moved to Indiana two years ago when John, who is in the military, was stationed in Indiana. She has an Indiana job. Jo Anne reported her $35,000 Indiana-source wage income on Schedule A, lines 2A and 2B. She reported the $35,000 as a military spouse earned income deduction on Schedule C, line 11. That $35,000 income is not subject to Indiana county tax. She will not enter it on Schedule CT-40PNR, Section 2, line 1B. If you had more than one job at different times during the year (not including part-time employment), and that income is taxed on Indiana Schedule A, Column B, add the income from those jobs and enter here. Example. Sarah had two full-time jobs in Indiana during the year. She earned $13,000 from her first job, which she held from January through April. She began a new job in May and worked through year's end, earning $21,000. She should enter the $34,000 combined amount here. Reciprocal state residents (see instructions on page 9 and under Line 4 below) with Indiana-source income from wages, tips or other compensation may owe county tax on that income and certain business income described above even though it's not taxed on County Tax Instructions Continued Schedule A, Section 1, Column B. See also the instructions for Line 2 below if you have certain deductions allowable against your wages. Example. Fred and Deanna are full-year Michigan residents. Deanna earned $55,000 wage income from an Elkhart, Indiana employer, which is the county where she worked as of Jan. 1, 2025. Fred received $10,000 winnings from an Indiana riverboat. Fred's gambling income is subject to Indiana state tax (he will report it on Schedule A, line 20, Column B); however, his winnings are not subject to Indiana county tax (he lived and worked in Michigan on Jan. 1, 2025). Conversely, while Deanna's wage income is not subject to Indiana adjusted gross income tax, it is subject to county tax. Enter her $55,000 wage income on CT-40PNR, Section 2, line 1B. See Reciprocal state residents under Line 4 instructions below and the Example for more information on how to figure her county tax.
Line 2
Y ou may use certain deductions to lower the amount of income to be taxed. These deductions must have been claimed on Indiana Schedule A, Section 2, Column B, or Indiana Schedule C and must have a direct relationship to the income being taxed on line 1. The allowable deduction from your Indiana Schedule C can include the enterprise zone employee deduction if the deduction is directly related to the income reported on line 1. The allowable deductions reported on Indiana Schedule A, Section 2, can include the educator expense deduction, certain business expenses of reservists, performing artists and fee-based government officials, health savings account deduction, deductible part of self-employment tax, SEP , SIMPLE and qualified plans, self-employed health insurance deduction, and/or IRA deduction, if the deduction is directly related to the income reported on line 1. If you have a deduction that is not directly related to the income being taxed on Line 1, do not claim these deductions. Note. If you are a resident of a reciprocal state and the allowable deductions relate to wages not subject to state income tax, report the wages minus allowable deductions on line 1 and do not enter the deductions on line 2. Example. Ann is an Illinois resident teaching in Indiana. Her Indiana wages were $51,000, which she reported on Schedule A, lines 1A and 1B. She claimed a $250 educator expense deduction on Indiana Schedule A, Section 2, lines 22A and 22B. She will claim the $250 educator expense deduction on line 2. Example. Tim and Jane file a joint tax return and are full-year Illinois residents. Jane does not owe county tax, but Tim does because his business is located in an Indiana county. Jane has a $21,000 wage income and a $2,000 IRA deduction. Tim has $23,000 net income from his Indiana photography shop and claimed a $700 self-employed SEP deduction. He will enter his $23,000 income on line 1 of Section 2 and the $700 SEP deduction on line 2 of Section 2. He is not eligible to take the IRA deduction because the wage income that it is in relation to is not being taxed for county tax purposes (it is associated with Jane's income).
Line 4
If you are married filing jointly, enter a portion of the your exemption(s) (personal, over 65 and/or blind) included on Schedule D, line 9. All other filers should enter the total exemptions from Schedule D, line 9. Y ou cannot claim your spouse's personal exemption. Exemptions for dependents, and age 65 or older or blind can be claimed by either spouse, as long as the total of line 4, Columns A and B is not greater than the total reported on Schedule D, line 9. Example. On Schedule D Jack and Sue claim $2,000 on line 1, one dependent exemption ($1,000) on line 2, and one additional dependent exemption ($1,500) on line 3. The line 7 amount is $4,500. The line 8 amount is .40. Jack can use $1,400 (the $3,500 exemption amount multiplied by .40 = $1,400) to figure his county tax. Reciprocal state residents (see instructions on page 9) with Indiana-source income from wages, tips or other compensation (reciprocal income) may not use any exemptions to reduce their reciprocal income for county tax calculation purposes. Example. Alex lived in Michigan and worked in Indiana on Jan.1 of the year, earning $65,000 wages (reciprocal income) from his Elkhart County job. He also had $5,000 income from his St. Joseph County, Indiana business (rental income, which is not reciprocal income). While his wage income is not subject to Indiana income tax, it is subject to county tax. He will complete Schedule CT-40PNR, Section 2, Column A, entering his $65,000 wage income on lines 1 and 3. He is not eligible to claim any exemptions on line 4.
