    YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR FREE ONLINE TAX FILING!

More than 85 percent of Indiana taxpayers filed electronically in 2021. Consider the benefits of filing electronically:
 
 •  Faster Refund. Electronic filing reduces errors and expedites refund time – within 10 to 14 days  
    (compared with 10 to 12 weeks for a paper return).

 •  Fewer Errors. Up to 20 percent of paper-filed returns have errors, which can result in delays and possible 
    penalty and/or interest for the taxpayer. Returns filed electronically, however, are 98 percent accurate.

 •  Easier Filing. You won’t have to complete the many complicated forms in this booklet. Instead, you go online, 
    answer some easy questions, and before you know it your taxes are complete. 

You may be eligible to file your taxes online for FREE with INfreefile. Go to www.in.gov/dor/individual-income-taxes/
infreefile to see if you qualify or learn more about INfreefile on page 4.
