INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Revenue will start accepting filings for the 2021 individual income tax season on Feb. 12, in concert with the Internal Revenue Service.
Individuals have until April 15 to file both their state and federal income tax returns and pay any taxes owed.
More than 2 million Hoosiers may qualify to file both their federal and state taxes online for free from trusted vendors with the Indiana free file program, INfreefile. A list of certified vendors and qualifications can be found at freefile.dor.in.gov. INfreefile customers typically receive their refund in less than two weeks if filing electronically and opting for direct deposit.
Taxpayers may also file an extension with the state or with the IRS, which would extend the federal tax filing deadline to Oct. 15 and the Indiana filing deadline to Nov. 15. Ninety percent of the taxes owed are still required to be paid by April 15 to avoid penalties and interest.
