File Indiana Tax Returns & Get Your Tax Refund Faster

Indiana's state income tax rate is a flat rate of 3.0% as of January 1, 2025, for all residents. This is lower than the national average. However, counties in Indiana may impose additional local income taxes ranging from about 0.5% to 3%. The state's tax revenue is more than $29.9 billion, which is close to the national median range. All residents, partial-year residents, and nonresidents who earned income within the state are required to file an individual income tax return for the applicable year. Residents must use Form IT-40, and nonresidents and partial-year residents must use Form IT-40PNR.

Interest may also accrue on the unpaid balance. Failure to file a state return within 30 days of department notification, after the DOR sends a notice, incurs a 20% penalty of the unpaid tax liability.
