The Indiana Department of Revenue has compiled this chart of government spending in Indiana. When you pay your income tax, it is deposited in the state’s General Fund. The Indiana General Assembly allocates those funds. The chart shows each category and the percentage of funds designated. The state’s website has an Interactive Estimated Allocation Tool, which allows you to enter your income tax total to see the breakdown per category by dollar amount.
Indiana is committed to fiscal accountability and providing clear information about how your tax dollars are spent.
