Indiana aligns with 2023 federal tax rules

Beginning January 1, 2025, Indiana uses the federal tax code as it stood on January 1, 2023 to figure state taxes. This sets how income, deductions, and credits are counted. Federal laws outside the tax code that affected AGI, taxable income, or credits and were in effect on January 1, 2023 also count. Federal tax regulations in effect on January 1, 2023 are treated as Indiana rules unless the Department of Revenue issues different rules. This can raise or lower your Indiana tax depending on which federal changes apply to you.

Updates for adoption credit, HSAs, and depreciation

For three items, Indiana uses the federal rules as they are on July 4, 2025. These are the federal adoption credit (Section 23), the HSA preventive care rule (Section 223(c)(2)(E)), and a business property depreciation rule (Section 168(e)(3)(B)(vi)). This special date applies only to those items. It applies beginning January 1, 2025 and can change your Indiana tax if you claim them.

Older federal changes apply to past years

For tax years that began before January 1, 2023, Indiana follows most federal tax changes passed before that date for that same year. It excludes the 21st Century Cures Act and the Disaster Tax Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2017. For tax years ending before January 1, 2013, Indiana ignores certain 2010 federal changes for a short list of tax code sections. The Department of Revenue issues forms and rules to make this work. These rules start January 1, 2025 and only affect those old years.
