INDIANA – Your 2022 Indiana individual income tax return is due April 18, 2023, but sometimes life gets in the way. So, if you don’t think you’ll be able to file in time, you have the option to request an extension of time to file your return.
What you need to know:
- You must request an extension to file no later than April 18, 2023. The new due date to file your tax return will be Nov. 15, 2023.
- Requesting an extension of time to file DOES NOT extend the deadline for PAYING any tax due. Interest will be added to all amounts paid after the original due date. However, you can avoid the cost of an additional penalty if you pay 90% of the tax amount you owe by April 18 and the remainder by Nov. 15.
- Even if you don’t expect to owe any state tax, you should still request the extension of time to file if you can’t file by the deadline.
Request an extension:
- If you get a federal extension of time to file from the IRS, an extension with Indiana is automatically granted.
Note: If you expect to owe state taxes, you still need to file an extension request with Indiana and pay at least 90% of the amount due by April 18 to avoid any penalty. - You can quickly and easily request an extension of time to file electronically via DOR’s e-services portal, INTIME, at intime.dor.in.gov, prior to the April 18, 2023, deadline.
- You have the option to mail a completed Form IT-9, Application for Extension of Time to File, along with a check, postmarked no later than April 18, 2023.
The Best Way? INTIME!
Requesting an extension electronically via INTIME is undoubtedly the best way. You don’t even have to log in to INTIME to make the request or payment. An INTIME Guide to Requesting an Extension of Time to File is available to help.
If you aren’t sure what the [90%] amount of your extension tax payment should be, INTIME provides a worksheet to help determine that for you. Payment can be made or scheduled electronically with a bank account (no fee) or by using a credit/debit card (applicable fee).
Once your request for the extension of time to file and the payment has been completed, a confirmation message will be displayed and emailed to you.
