Nov. 20, 2012

This year the Indiana legislature passed a few laws that change the way business taxpayers will be required to file and remit sales and withholding taxes. The changes are as follows:

  • Effective July 1, 2012, anyone who is required to file more than 25 W-2, 1099-R, or WH-18 statements must file them electronically.
  • Effective Jan. 1, 2013, all retail merchants must report and remit sales tax electronically.
  • Effective Jan. 1, 2013, all withholding agents must report and remit withholding taxes electronically.
  • Effective Jan. 1, 2013, quarterly withholding filings will be eliminated.

This mean that beginning next year, all sales and withholding taxes will have to be remitted via the Department’s INtax application or a electronic funds transfer (EFT). Additionally, businesses will be required to file their sales and withholding electronically, which can include using vendors certified by the Department or the Department’s free INtax application.

Taxpayers should register for INtax (www.intax.in.gov), begin using software approved by the Department, or go to a tax professional that is electronically filing these taxes before Jan. 1, 2013, rather than risking non-compliance and legal actions.
