To participate in the Indiana Electronic Filing Program, a Software Developer must be accepted into the federal program. Contact the IRS for federal form 8633 if you have not already applied. There is no Indiana equivalent to the federal form 8633. To participate as a Software Developer in the Indiana Electronic Filing Program, you must work with the Department to develop and test your software. Please complete the Electronic Filing Program Registration form to register your interest with us and receive a user id and password to access Publications.
Only software packages certified by the Indiana Department of Revenue may be used to create and transmit Indiana returns. No company may advertise that a software package can be used for electronically filing Indiana returns until receiving written notice from the Department stating that their software has been certified for the current tax year.
Participating developers may go to the Developer's Corner. A password is required. The password will be given to each developer only after the Department has accepted them as a participating developer.
If you have questions regarding E-File software development or software testing, please e-mail the Department.
