$125 Automatic Taxpayer Refund Information

Thanks to efforts over the last nine years that have allowed Indiana to fund critical needs while maintaining our state’s competitive tax environment, many Hoosier taxpayers will receive a one-time $125 taxpayer refund under Indiana’s "Use of Excess Reserves" law. More information, including eligibility, is available on DOR’s Automatic Taxpayer Refund information page (see below).

Potential Additional Taxpayer Refund Announced

On June 10, Governor Eric Holcomb announced his plan to call a special session to return $1 billion of state reserves to Hoosier taxpayers. DOR will coordinate with the Governor’s Office and other agencies involved in the refund process to announce more information after new legislation enabling this additional refund is signed into law.
