Questions

Indiana tax FAQs

11 answers about taxes in Indiana.

Do you prepare Indiana state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident Indiana returns and file them with the Indiana Department of Revenue, together with your federal return.

When are Indiana individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the Indiana Department of Revenue deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Are there local income taxes in Indiana?

Yes, some local governments in Indiana levy income, wage or earnings taxes that depend on where you live and work. We check which apply to you and include them in your filings.

Does Indiana have a sales tax?

Yes. Indiana charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help Indiana businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the Indiana Department of Revenue.

What payroll registrations does a Indiana employer need?

Employers generally register with Indiana for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make Indiana estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, Indiana generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in Indiana?

Indiana applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in Indiana before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of Indiana. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the Indiana Department of Revenue?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the Indiana Department of Revenue when you authorize us to.

Can a Indiana business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with Indiana businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.

Which Indiana cities do you serve?

We have dedicated pages for Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Carmel, and we work with clients anywhere in Indiana.
