The Indiana Department of Revenue has instituted new payment plan options to help ease the burden to Hoosier taxpayers.
The new payment plan options became effective in early May and allow individuals to establish plans for a longer period of time and without the previous requirement of a down payment equal to 20 percent of the outstanding tax liability.
In a release, Indiana Department of Revenue Commissioner Adam Krupp says that the previous inflexibility of the DOR’s payment plan is one of the most commonly cited frustrations from taxpayers. The goal is to have fewer Hoosiers financial hardship due to their state tax obligations.
They partnered with other organizations, including Indiana Legal Services and the Notre Dame Tax Clinic to create the new payment plans.
The new payment plan options are based on the amount a taxpayer owes. Payment plans can be created online through DOR’s INtax system at www.intaxpay.in.gov or by calling the Indiana Department of Revenue Payment Services at 317.32.2165 Monday through Friday, 8am-4:30pm EST.
