(UNDATED) – Tax season is just around the corner. Don’t let the thought of filing taxes overwhelm you. At this time of year you’re probably not even thinking about taxes at all, but rest assured DOR is here to help.
We have some tips to help you prepare:
- Know the dates! Remember, paying taxes is required by law for anyone who makes more than $1,000 in a year.
- File your taxes electronically. Filing electronically is the most convenient option for many taxpayers. There are many benefits to filing taxes electronically, including faster refunds, increased security and fewer errors.
- File online for free. Millions of Hoosiers qualify to file their federal and state taxes online for free using Indiana FreeFile. Compare vendor offers and see if you qualify on the INfreefile website.
- Assistance for senior citizens. If you are a senior citizen looking for assistance with preparing your individual income taxes, there are organizations available to help.
