Deductions

Dependent Child Exemption Increase

If a taxpayer is claiming a child as a dependent for the first taxable year in which the additional child exemption is allowed, the taxpayer is now permitted to claim an amount of $3,000, instead of $1,500. The child will not be considered to be claimed for the first time if the previous $1,500 additional child exemption was claimed by someone else, or if the $1,500 additional child exemption was claimed or claimable when the child was living outside of Indiana. The taxpayer must indicate the child is being claimed as a dependent for the first time on Schedule IN-DEP. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #117 for more information.

Indiana deductions are used to reduce the amount of taxable income. First, check the list below to see if you're eligible to claim any of the deductions. If you are, you'll claim them when you file your annual Indiana income tax return on Form IT-40 or IT-40PNR.

Important: Some deductions available for earlier tax years may not be listed below. Find information on prior tax year deductions on their respective webpages.
