Automatic Taxpayer Refunds

DOR will continue to coordinate with the Governor’s Office, Auditor of State, and others involved in the process to announce more information regarding the additional $200 Automatic Taxpayer Refund (ATR) payment and its impact on the current $125 ATR refund process. Due to the potential impact of this new legislation, we are now asking Hoosiers to wait until Nov. 1 before calling DOR about their Automatic Taxpayer Refunds. Additional ATR information is available on our website.

Scam Warning

The Auditor of State’s Office and Indiana Department of Revenue remind Hoosiers to be mindful of potential scams regarding Automatic Taxpayer Refunds. All refunds will be issued by direct deposit or check. Individuals should ignore any texts, emails or phone calls regarding these refunds, especially messages containing links or requesting personal or financial information such as Social Security or bank account numbers.
