Indiana: Form revisions, electronic filing discussed
The Indiana Department of Revenue discusses changes made to personal income and sales and use tax forms. Also, the Department explains the electronic tax filing program that is available for filing retail sales and use and withholding taxes.
Forms revised: Several changes are made to personal income tax forms. Full-year Indiana residents working in reciprocal agreement states now must enter their reciprocal-source income on an information line on the back of form IT-40 (Indiana Resident Individual Income Tax Booklet). The Indiana medical savings account line is removed from the Indiana deductions schedule. This deduction may be included on the "Other Deductions" line of that schedule. Finally, the IT-40P form (Indiana Individual Income Tax Return) for use in filing original prior year returns is to become the return to file for 1996 and earlier years. Actual year returns are now accepted for 1997 and later.
Forms combined: The new WH-1 (Indiana Withholding Tax Voucher) combines the former WH-1 (monthly filing status) and WH-1R (previously for the electronic funds transfer credit recap report). The new form is scheduled to be available for use beginning January 1, 1999.
Electronic filing: The Department is now offering an electronic tax filing program for retail sales and use and employer withholding taxes. Taxpayers are able to send tax returns and payments in a single transaction by using a compatible personal computer with a modem and a computer program named IN-S.I.T.E. Taxpayers remitting by electronic funds transfer are notified that their items were received and whether they were accepted. The computer program and filing service are provided free of charge and are available to single return taxpayers or service providers.
