RE: LEGISLATIVE UPDATES - Indiana Inheritance Tax

Dear Associates:

House Enrolled Act 1001 passed by the Indiana Legislature in the 2013 legislative session repealed Indiana’s inheritance tax for individuals dying after December 31, 2012. As a result, no tax has to be paid, no inheritance tax forms need to be filed, and there is no longer a lien for unpaid inheritance tax against real property for persons who died as of January 1, 2013.

Indiana’s inheritance tax still applies for individuals who have died prior to January 1, 2013. As a reminder, the lien for unpaid inheritance tax expires ten years after date of death. For more information, go to the following Indiana Department of Revenue link: http://www.in.gov/dor/3807.htm
