INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) reminds Hoosier taxpayers to file and pay their individual income tax returns by Monday, May 17.
“The DOR team is ready to serve,” said DOR Commissioner Bob Grennes. “With the end of the individual tax filing season approaching, we prompt Hoosiers to meet this important filing and payment deadline.”
Individuals who are not able to file by May 17 can file an extension directly with DOR or with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If the IRS extension is granted, the Indiana extension is automatically granted. A timely filed extension moves the federal tax filing deadline to October 15, and the Indiana filing deadline to November 15.
CROWN POINT â A civil lawsuit filed Thursday in Lake Superior Court seeks to recover funds embezzled by former Genesis Convention Center officials.Â
The lawsuit, filed by the Indiana Attorney Generalâs Office, comes after the Indiana State Board of Accounts (SBOA) examined records and accounts maintained by the Genesis Center from Jan. 1, 2017, to May 14, 2018.
In October 2019, the SBOA published its findings in a special investigation report, which revealed malfeasance, misfeasance, and/or nonfeasance on the part of public officials.Â
According to the 2019 audit, Deborah Black was hired as executive director for the Genesis Center on Nov. 14, 2016, and Victoria Wilson was hired as the bookkeeper to maintain financial records for the Center on Feb. 8, 2017.

The Indiana Department of Revenue issued guidance Tuesday on how Hoosiers who got unemployment benefits last year should file taxes after weeks of the department asking people to wait due to potential legislative changes.
Hoosiers who received unemployment benefits cannot claim the $10,200 federal tax break on their state taxes. That applies even if the unemployment benefits came from one of the new federal programs started in the pandemic. It comes after the legislature passed a law linking Indiana’s tax code to some pre-pandemic language.
