Interactive Tax Map
Confused about what tax types are in your county or city? You’re not alone. All counties will have a Local Income Tax (LIT) rate, but not all counties have County Innkeeper’s (CIT) or Food and Beverage (FAB) taxes. Plus, some municipalities within the counties may have their own FAB tax.
To find all current tax rates in your area, look to DOR’s new interactive county tax rate map. This map allows you to click on the county of your choice to see which tax rates are in effect.
All rates are updated using the best information DOR has available. If you believe a tax rate is incorrect, please contact DOR directly at media@dor.in.gov.
New Law Enacted About
IN-K1s
A new law (IC 6-3-4-16.7) enacted in Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 565 during the 2019 legislative session requires S Corporations and partnerships that issue 25 or more Schedule IN-K1s to file tax returns and schedules electronically beginning with taxable years ending after Dec. 31, 2019.
Partnership (IT-65) or S Corporation (IT-20S) tax returns with 25 or more Schedule IN-K1s should be submitted through Modernized e-File (MeF). Most professional tax software packages facilitate MeF.
Failure to submit your tax return timely and correctly will result in a penalty of $10 per each improperly filed return up to a total of $25,000. In addition, if you submit more than 50 Schedule IN K-1s in a manner other than MeF, your Schedule IN K-1s may be rejected until they are filed electronically.
If you have questions regarding your business tax return, you may call (317) 232-0129, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., EST.
