Indiana Tax Amnesty 2026 gives eligible individuals and businesses a limited opportunity to resolve certain past-due Indiana taxes.

The program is available from July 15 through September 9, 2026. Taxpayers who qualify and successfully complete the program may receive a waiver of related penalties, interest, and collection fees. The original tax balance must still be paid.

Who May Qualify?

You may qualify for Indiana Tax Amnesty 2026 if:

• You owe eligible taxes administered by the Indiana Department of Revenue or Motor Carrier Services.
• The liability relates to a tax period ending before January 1, 2024.
• You did not successfully participate in Indiana’s 2005 or 2015 tax amnesty programs.
• You pay the eligible balance in full or complete an approved amnesty payment plan.

Both individuals and businesses may qualify. Not receiving an eligibility letter does not necessarily mean that you are ineligible.

Taxpayers can review the official program information through the Indiana Department of Revenue Tax Amnesty 2026 page .

What May Be Waived?

Taxpayers who qualify and successfully complete the program may receive a waiver of the following amounts connected with an eligible liability:

• Penalties
• Interest
• Collection fees

The underlying tax is not eliminated. The eligible original tax balance must still be paid according to the program requirements.

Are Payment Plans Available?

Eligible taxpayers may be able to establish an amnesty payment plan by September 9, 2026. All required payments must generally be completed by June 7, 2027.

Before entering a payment plan, review your personal income or business cash flow, current tax obligations, operating expenses, and ability to complete every required payment on time.

Review Your Tax Account Before Paying

Do not assume that every balance shown on your account is correct or eligible for amnesty.

Before making a payment, review:

• Outstanding tax periods
• Missing or incorrectly filed returns
• Previous payments and available credits
• Sales tax and payroll withholding records
• Existing payment arrangements
• Pending appeals or protests

Paying a disputed liability through the amnesty program may affect your ability to continue challenging that liability. Consider obtaining professional guidance before making a payment or withdrawing an appeal.
