Repeal of Inheritance Tax
Inheritance tax previously had to be paid for individuals who passed away on or before Dec. 31, 2012 (IC 6-4-1).
The legislature repealed the Indiana Inheritance tax in 2013. Some pre-2013 estates continued to file original or amended returns.
No Inheritance tax returns for Indiana residents or nonresidents should be prepared or filed after Oct. 5, 2023 (IC 34-11-1-2). This means that there is no Inheritance tax owed in Indiana. The forms are no longer needed and were retired by DOR.
Questions related to your specific capital gains should be directed to your tax professional or legal counsel.
Asbestos Settlements
