Indiana Other Certified Credits
Indiana offers several certified tax credits for individuals, designed to support education, economic development, and other state priorities. These credits are claimed on specific Indiana state tax forms and may require additional schedules or certifications.
Education-Related Credits
- Indiana College Credit: Taxpayers may claim a credit for contributions to eligible colleges and universities or to corporations and foundations that benefit such institutions. This credit is not available for tuition, fees, or room and board payments, which are not considered charitable contributions. The credit is reported on Schedule CC-40.
- Indiana 529 Plan Credit: Contributions to Indiana’s 529 college savings plan (administered by the Indiana Education Savings Authority) may qualify for a state tax credit. To claim this credit, taxpayers must complete Schedule IN-529 and attach it to their return. More information is available at www.in.gov/tos/iesa and www.indiana529direct.com.
Economic Development Credits
- Indiana Creates Credit: This credit supports job creation and economic development projects. Certification must be obtained from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). The credit is reported on Schedule IN-OCC, and the certification letter from IEDC must be enclosed with the return.
- Other Local Credits: Currently, no other local credits are available for reporting on Form IT-40 or IT-40PNR.
Additional Notes
- Credits are applied against Indiana state adjusted gross income tax liability.
- Some credits are subject to limitations, such as the "Limited to One per Project" rule and combined limitations.
- For credits related to federal adoption or earned income credit (EIC), Indiana applies a proration based on residency and federal credit amounts.
- Always ensure that required schedules (e.g., Schedule CC-40, Schedule IN-OCC, Schedule IN-529) are completed and attached.
