INDIANA – You filed your individual state income tax return, but it turns out you owe more than you can pay all at once. The good news is that the Indiana Department of Revenue offers payment plans for individuals who owe more than $100. The amount owed will determine the maximum length of time allowed for a payment plan.
| Balance Owed | Maximum Months |
| $100 or less | Full payment required-No payment plan options |
| $101 to $1,000 | Up to 12 months |
| $1001 to $5,000 | Up to 24 months |
| $5,001 or more | Up to 36 months |
Payment Plan Set Up
Visit INTIME or contact Customer Service to set up a payment plan.
INTIME
The process of setting up a payment plan is especially easy and efficient in INTIME. Verify the balance due by signing up or logging in to INTIME, then follow the step-by-step guide for setting up your payment plan.
In fact, you do not have to wait for DOR to send a tax bill. You can set up a payment plan prior to the tax filing deadline to help reduce penalties and interest on the balance. When doing this in INTIME, you’ll be able to:
- Select monthly or bi-weekly payments
- Select the number of payments or payment amounts
- Immediately make an initial down payment (20% is recommended to reduce the amount of interest you’ll need to pay, but it is optional.)
- Schedule automatic recurring payments with your bank account
- Select when your first payment will be due. The first payment must be made within 30 days of the date the payment plan is made.
- View a summary of information, including payment frequency, installment type, number of payments, down payment, and when the first payment is due.
Setting up a payment plan in INTIME does not exclude penalties. Late penalties defined by law apply to unpaid tax balances, which include plan installments.
Customer Service
A DOR customer service representative can help you set up a payment plan:
- By phone: 317-232-2240, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET
- In-person assistance: Appointments are highly recommended at DOR District Offices and the Government Center for reduced wait times.
Making Payment Plan Payments
When setting up a payment plan via INTIME, automatic recurring payments are scheduled from your bank account, so you don’t have to worry about missing a due date.

- Mail in your voucher with payment.
- Call customer service and pay by credit/debit card (fee applies).
