• Sales tax
• Withholding tax 
• Corporate Income tax

The state of Indiana is known to get the County Sheriff’s office involved or contract third party collection agencies to collect the tax debt.  This seems harsh, but it’s true.  It’s never good for business when a Sheriff shows up to collect a tax debt.  Avoid the Sheriff, get started on it today.  

Indiana DOR Payment Plan Agreement to Satisfy Your Tax Debt

A payment plan is the most common way to effectively resolve your business tax debt.  This seems simple enough, but it can be messy.  The IN-DOR doesn’t like to hand out monthly payment plans to businesses that owe delinquent Sales tax, Withholding tax, or Income tax.  They see your tax debt as an unauthorized loan that’s due immediately.  The payment-plan agreement is a last resort solution.  Be prepared to have your business and personal finances thoroughly reviewed before monthly payments are granted.  

Even though the IN-DOR website states that payment agreements often require little to no down payment, be prepared to come up with one.  Depending on your compliance history and the size of your tax liability, you may have to cough up 10% - 20% of your total tax liability as a down payment.  The typical term of a DOR payment plan may be up to 36 months for debts over $5,000, but you may have to submit a Hardship Request to get more than 18 months to pay.

In-DOR Offer in Compromise Program

The state of Indiana does have an Offer in Compromise program as an option for those that qualify.  However, M&M does not advise operating businesses to attempt settling their back-taxes through the OIC because they’re rarely accepted.  This may not be what you’d like to hear, but it’s the truth.
