March 31, 2009

It can be stressful when you find out that you owe tax to Indiana, and are having difficulty coming up with the full amount due.

If you can’t pay the full amount due up front, you’ve got options. Here are two courses of action available:

  • Send in as much as you can when you file the tax return. Within a few weeks a bill will be issued to collect the balance due, and will include a penalty and interest charge. You will have 10 days to pay the bill.
  • If you just don’t have the money to pay the taxes due, then go ahead and send in the tax return with no payment. Within a few weeks a bill will be issued for the tax, plus penalty and interest. You will have 10 days to pay the balance due.

If you just can’t come up with the full amount due when the bill arrives, you may be eligible for a payment plan. Basically, if you owe more than $100, and can pay at least 20 percent down, you will qualify for a payment plan. If you own a business that owes more than $500 and can pay at least 20 percent down, you will qualify for a payment plan.

Contact us after you get the bill to make payment-plan arrangements. To speak with a bilingual representative at the Indiana Department of Revenue, call (317) 232-2240 (press 2 for Spanish) from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can also visit the new and improved Spanish Web site at www.impuestos.in.gov/ or you can submit questions about your bill via e-mail to jevans@dor.in.gov
