Individual Tax Season Starts Today!
DOR is ready to serve Hoosier taxpayers INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) is now accepting tax filings for the 2021 individual income tax season. Indiana filers have from now until April 15, 2021, to file their individual income tax returns and pay any taxes owed. “The DOR team has skillfully prepared all our systems and operations for this year’s individual tax filing season,” announced DOR Commissioner Bob Grennes today. “This is our busiest time of year, and we look forward to serving millions of our fellow Hoosiers with the processing of their returns, payments and refunds.” Whenever possible, DOR recommends electronic filing and payment as electronic processing is higher quality and much quicker than paper processes. Refunds resulting from electronic filings are issued up to four times faster than paper returns, on average under 14 days. Looking for some help? Hoosiers have several free options to help them file their taxes including:
Going to need more time to file a return? Individuals who are not able to file by the April 15 deadline can file an extension directly with DOR or with the IRS. If the IRS extension is granted, the Indiana extension is automatically granted. A timely filed extension moves the federal tax filing deadline to October 15, 2021, and the Indiana filing deadline to November 15, 2021. It is important to note that the extension only shifts the filing deadline and not the payment deadline. Ninety percent of the taxes owed are still required to be paid by April 15, 2021, to avoid penalties and interest. |
