It can be stressful when you find out that you owe individual income tax to Indiana, and are having difficulty coming up with the full amount due.
If you were not able pay the full amount that you owe to Indiana by the April 18 deadline, you do have 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 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 are not able to pay 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 owe business tax, there is an option for you as well. If you owe more than $500 and can pay at least 20 percent down, you will qualify for a payment plan. Once you received a bill, you can set up the plan online at www.intaxpay.in.gov or contact the Indiana Department of Revenue with your request (addresses and phone numbers are on the back of the billing). Once the plan is approved, you can mail in payments or pay online.
