As the seller's agent, the certified service provider is liable for sales and use tax due each member state on all sales transactions it processes for the seller except as set out in this section. A seller that contracts with a certified service provider is not liable to the state for sales or use tax due on transactions processed by the certified service provider unless the seller misrepresented the type of items it sells or committed fraud. In the absence of probable cause to believe that the seller has committed fraud or made a material misrepresentation, the seller is not subject to audit on the transactions processed by the certified service provider. A seller is subject to audit for transactions not processed by the certified service provider. The member states acting jointly may perform a system check of the seller and review the seller's procedures to determine if the certified service provider's system is functioning properly and the extent to which the seller's transactions are being processed by the certified service provider.
    (b) A person that provides a certified automated system is responsible for the proper functioning of that system and is liable to the state for underpayments of tax attributable to errors in the functioning of the certified automated system. A seller that uses a certified automated system remains responsible and is liable to the state for reporting and remitting tax.
    (c) A seller that has a proprietary system for determining the amount of tax due on transactions and has signed an agreement establishing a performance standard for that system is liable for the failure of the system to meet the performance standard.
    (d) A certified service provider or a seller using a certified automated system that obtains a certification or taxability matrix from the department is not liable for sales or use tax collection errors that

result from reliance on the department's certification or taxability matrix. If the department determines that an item or transaction is incorrectly classified as to the taxability of the item or transaction, the department shall notify the certified service provider or the seller using a certified automated system of the incorrect classification. The certified service provider or the seller using a certified automated system must revise the incorrect classification within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the determination from the department. If the classification error is not corrected within ten (10) days after receiving the department's notice, the certified service provider or the seller using a certified automated system is liable for failure to collect the correct amount of sales or use tax due and owing.
    (e) If at least thirty (30) days are not provided between the enactment of a statute changing the rate set forth in IC 6-2.5-2-2 and the effective date of the rate change, the department shall relieve the seller of liability for failing to collect tax at the new rate if:
        (1) the seller collected the tax at the immediately preceding effective rate; and
        (2) the seller's failure to collect at the current rate does not extend beyond thirty (30) days after the effective date of the rate change.
A seller is not eligible for the relief provided for in this subsection if the seller fraudulently fails to collect at the current rate or solicits purchases based on the immediately preceding effective rate.
    (f) The department shall allow any monetary allowances that are provided by the member states to sellers or certified service providers in exchange for collecting the sales and use taxes as provided in article VI of the agreement.
    (g) After June 30, 2011, the department may negotiate with a certified service provider or seller to provide a monetary allowance that is greater than the allowance provided in IC 6-2.5-6-10 for the collection of gross retail tax or use tax on sales, leases, and rentals of goods or services made in a member state or a jurisdiction that is not a member state. A monetary allowance permitted under this subsection may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the gross retail tax or use tax collected from a sale, lease, or rental. The department may adopt emergency rules under IC 4-22-2-37.1 and shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to establish standards for granting monetary allowances under this subsection. The rules must provide that the permitted monetary allowance is a negotiated rate based on:
        (1) the collection costs of the certified service provider or seller;
        (2) the volume and value to the state of sales, leases, or rentals

processed by a certified service provider or seller;
        (3) the administrative and legal costs that the state would otherwise incur to collect gross retail taxes or use taxes for these sales, leases, or rentals absent a negotiated monetary allowance; and
        (4) the likelihood of collecting gross retail taxes or use taxes on these sales, leases, or rentals absent a negotiated monetary allowance.

            (A) numerator of the fraction is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor multiplied by four and sixty-seven hundredths (4.67); and
            (B) denominator of the fraction is six and sixty-seven hundredths (6.67).
        (3) For all taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008, and before January 1, 2010, a fraction. The:
            (A) numerator of the fraction is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor multiplied by eight (8); and
            (B) denominator of the fraction is ten (10).


        (4) For all taxable years beginning after December 31, 2009, and before January 1, 2011, a fraction. The:
            (A) numerator of the fraction is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor multiplied by eighteen (18); and
            (B) denominator of the fraction is twenty (20).
        (5) For all taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010, the sales factor.
    (c) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the average value of the taxpayer's real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used in this state during the taxable year and the denominator of which is the average value of all the taxpayer's real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used during the taxable year. However, with respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator does not include the average value of real or tangible personal property owned or rented and used in a place that is outside the United States. Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its original cost. Property rented by the taxpayer is valued at eight (8) times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual rental rate paid by the taxpayer less any annual rental rate received by the taxpayer from subrentals. The average of property shall be determined by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the taxable year, but the department may require the averaging of monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably required to reflect properly the average value of the taxpayer's property.
    (d) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount paid in this state during the taxable year by the taxpayer for compensation, and the denominator of which is the total compensation paid everywhere during the taxable year. However, with respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator does not include compensation paid in a place that is outside the United States. Compensation is paid in this state if:
        (1) the individual's service is performed entirely within the state;
        (2) the individual's service is performed both within and without this state, but the service performed without this state is incidental to the individual's service within this state; or
        (3) some of the service is performed in this state and:
            (A) the base of operations or, if there is no base of operations, the place from which the service is directed or controlled is in this state; or
            (B) the base of operations or the place from which the service is directed or controlled is not in any state in which some part

of the service is performed, but the individual is a resident of this state.
    (e) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total sales of the taxpayer in this state during the taxable year, and the denominator of which is the total sales of the taxpayer everywhere during the taxable year. Sales include receipts from intangible property and receipts from the sale or exchange of intangible property. However, with respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator does not include sales made in a place that is outside the United States. Receipts from intangible personal property are derived from sources within Indiana if the receipts from the intangible personal property are attributable to Indiana under section 2.2 of this chapter. to the extent that the income from the receipts would be apportioned to Indiana under this section or if the income from the receipts would be allocated to Indiana or considered to be derived from sources within Indiana under this section. Regardless of the f.o.b. point or other conditions of the sale, sales of tangible personal property are in this state if:
        (1) the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser that is within Indiana, other than the United States government; or
        (2) the property is shipped from an office, a store, a warehouse, a factory, or other place of storage in this state and:
            (A) the purchaser is the United States government; or
            (B) the taxpayer is not taxable in the state of the purchaser.
Gross receipts derived from commercial printing as described in IC 6-2.5-1-10 shall be treated as sales of tangible personal property for purposes of this chapter.
    (f) Sales, other than receipts from intangible property covered by subsection (e) and sales of tangible personal property, are in this state if:
        (1) the income-producing activity is performed in this state; or
        (2) the income-producing activity is performed both within and without this state and a greater proportion of the income-producing activity is performed in this state than in any other state, based on costs of performance.
    (g) Rents and royalties from real or tangible personal property, capital gains, interest, dividends, or patent or copyright royalties, to the extent that they constitute nonbusiness income, shall be allocated as provided in subsections (h) through (k).
    (h)(1) Net rents and royalties from real property located in this state are allocable to this state.
    (2) Net rents and royalties from tangible personal property are allocated to this state:


        (i) if and to the extent that the property is utilized in this state; or
        (ii) in their entirety if the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state and the taxpayer is not organized under the laws of or taxable in the state in which the property is utilized.
    (3) The extent of utilization of tangible personal property in a state is determined by multiplying the rents and royalties by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of physical location of the property in the state during the rental or royalty period in the taxable year, and the denominator of which is the number of days of physical location of the property everywhere during all rental or royalty periods in the taxable year. If the physical location of the property during the rental or royalty period is unknown or unascertainable by the taxpayer, tangible personal property is utilized in the state in which the property was located at the time the rental or royalty payer obtained possession.
    (i)(1) Capital gains and losses from sales of real property located in this state are allocable to this state.
    (2) Capital gains and losses from sales of tangible personal property are allocable to this state if:
        (i) the property had a situs in this state at the time of the sale; or
        (ii) the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state and the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in which the property had a situs.
    (3) Capital gains and losses from sales of intangible personal property are allocable to this state if the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state.
    (j) Interest and dividends are allocable to this state if the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state.
    (k)(1) Patent and copyright royalties are allocable to this state:
        (i) if and to the extent that the patent or copyright is utilized by the taxpayer in this state; or
        (ii) if and to the extent that the patent or copyright is utilized by the taxpayer in a state in which the taxpayer is not taxable and the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state.
        (2) A patent is utilized in a state to the extent that it is employed in production, fabrication, manufacturing, or other processing in the state or to the extent that a patented product is produced in the state. If the basis of receipts from patent royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the patent is utilized in the state in which the taxpayer's commercial domicile is located.
        (3) A copyright is utilized in a state to the extent that printing or other publication originates in the state. If the basis of receipts

from copyright royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the copyright is utilized in the state in which the taxpayer's commercial domicile is located.
    (l) If the allocation and apportionment provisions of this article do not fairly represent the taxpayer's income derived from sources within the state of Indiana, the taxpayer may petition for or the department may require, in respect to all or any part of the taxpayer's business activity, if reasonable:
        (1) separate accounting;
        (2) for a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2011, the exclusion of any one (1) or more of the factors, except the sales factor;
        (3) the inclusion of one (1) or more additional factors which will fairly represent the taxpayer's income derived from sources within the state of Indiana; or
        (4) the employment of any other method to effectuate an equitable allocation and apportionment of the taxpayer's income.
    (m) In the case of two (2) or more organizations, trades, or businesses owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the same interests, the department shall distribute, apportion, or allocate the income derived from sources within the state of Indiana between and among those organizations, trades, or businesses in order to fairly reflect and report the income derived from sources within the state of Indiana by various taxpayers, considering the recommendations made under IC 6-8.1-3-10.
    (n) For purposes of allocation and apportionment of income under this article, a taxpayer is taxable in another state if:
        (1) in that state the taxpayer is subject to a net income tax, a franchise tax measured by net income, a franchise tax for the privilege of doing business, or a corporate stock tax; or
        (2) that state has jurisdiction to subject the taxpayer to a net income tax regardless of whether, in fact, the state does or does not.
    (o) Notwithstanding subsections (l) and (m), the department may not, under any circumstances, require that income, deductions, and credits attributable to a taxpayer and another entity be reported in a combined income tax return for any taxable year, if the other entity is:
        (1) a foreign corporation; or
        (2) a corporation that is classified as a foreign operating corporation for the taxable year by section 2.4 of this chapter.
    (p) Notwithstanding subsections (l) and (m), the department may not

require that income, deductions, and credits attributable to a taxpayer and another entity not described in subsection (o)(1) or (o)(2) be reported in a combined income tax return for any taxable year, unless the department is unable to fairly reflect the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for the taxable year through use of other powers granted to the department by subsections (l) and (m).
    (q) Notwithstanding subsections (o) and (p), one (1) or more taxpayers may petition the department under subsection (l) for permission to file a combined income tax return for a taxable year. The petition to file a combined income tax return must be completed and filed with the department not more than thirty (30) days after the end of the taxpayer's taxable year. A taxpayer filing a combined income tax return must petition the department within thirty (30) days after the end of the taxpayer's taxable year to discontinue filing a combined income tax return.
    (r) This subsection applies to a corporation that is a life insurance company (as defined in Section 816(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) or an insurance company that is subject to tax under Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code. The corporation's adjusted gross income that is derived from sources within Indiana is determined by multiplying the corporation's adjusted gross income by a fraction:
        (1) the numerator of which is the direct premiums and annuity considerations received during the taxable year for insurance upon property or risks in the state; and
        (2) the denominator of which is the direct premiums and annuity considerations received during the taxable year for insurance upon property or risks everywhere.
The term "direct premiums and annuity considerations" means the gross premiums received from direct business as reported in the corporation's annual statement filed with the department of insurance.

A taxpayer is not entitled to carryback any net operating losses after December 31, 2011.
    (c) An Indiana net operating loss equals the taxpayer's federal net operating loss for a taxable year as calculated under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code, adjusted for the modifications required by

IC 6-3-1-3.5.
    (d) The following provisions apply for purposes of subsection (c):

    (f) Carrybacks and Carryovers shall be determined under this subsection as follows:
        (1) An Indiana net operating loss shall be an Indiana net operating loss carryback to each of the carryback years preceding the taxable year of the loss.
        (2) (1) An Indiana net operating loss shall be an Indiana net operating loss carryover to each of the carryover years following the taxable year of the loss.
        (3) Carryback years shall be determined by reference to the number of years allowed for carrying back a net operating loss under Section 172(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, with respect to the carryback period for a net operating loss:
            (A) for which a taxpayer made an election to use five (5) years instead of two (2) years under Section 172(b)(1)(H) of the Internal Revenue Code, two (2) years shall be used instead of five (5) years; or
            (B) that is a qualified disaster loss for which the taxpayer elected to have the net operating loss carryback period with respect to the loss year determined without regard to Section 172(b)(1)(J) of the Internal Revenue Code, five (5) years shall be used.
        (4) (2) Carryover years shall be determined by reference to the number of years allowed for carrying over net operating losses under Section 172(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
        (5) A taxpayer who makes an election under Section 172(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to relinquish the carryback period with respect to a net operating loss for any taxable year shall be

considered to have also relinquished the carryback of the Indiana net operating loss for purposes of this section.
    (g) The entire amount of the Indiana net operating loss for any taxable year shall be carried to the earliest of the taxable years to which (as determined under subsection (f)) the loss may be carried. The amount of the Indiana net operating loss remaining after the deduction is taken under this section in a taxable year may be carried back or carried over as provided in subsection (f). The amount of the Indiana net operating loss carried back or carried over from year to year shall be reduced to the extent that the Indiana net operating loss carryback or carryover is used by the taxpayer to obtain a deduction in a taxable year until the occurrence of the earlier of the following:
        (1) The entire amount of the Indiana net operating loss has been used as a deduction.
        (2) The Indiana net operating loss has been carried over to each of the carryover years provided by subsection (f).

        (2) The amount of the taxpayer's net operating loss that is derived from sources within Indiana shall be determined in the same manner that the amount of the taxpayer's adjusted income derived from sources within Indiana is determined under section 2 of this chapter for the same taxable year during which each loss was incurred.
        (3) An Indiana net operating loss includes a net operating loss that arises when the modifications required by IC 6-3-1-3.5 exceed the

taxpayer's federal taxable income (as defined in Section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code), if the taxpayer is a corporation, or when the modifications required by IC 6-3-1-3.5 exceed the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income (as defined by Section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code), if the taxpayer is a nonresident person, for the taxable year in which the Indiana net operating loss is determined.

JANUARY 1, 2012]: Sec. 22. (a) If a taxpayer is a corporation that is a United States shareholder, the taxpayer may elect to deduct an amount equal to part of the cash dividends that are received during the taxable year by the shareholder from controlled foreign corporations. The amount of the deduction is the percentage amount approved by the Indiana economic development corporation established under IC 5-28-3. If, within the taxable year for which the election under this section is in effect, a United States shareholder receives a cash distribution from a controlled foreign corporation which is excluded from gross income under Section 959(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the distribution shall be treated for purposes of this section as a cash dividend to the extent of any amount included in income by the United States shareholder under Section 951(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of any cash dividend during such taxable year to:
        (1) the controlled foreign corporation from another controlled foreign corporation that is in a chain of ownership described in Section 958(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; or
        (2) any other controlled foreign corporation in the chain of ownership, but only to the extent of cash distributions described in Section 959(b) of the Internal Revenue Code that are made during the taxable year to the controlled foreign corporation from which the United States shareholder received the distribution.

        (1) The amount of dividends taken into account under subsection (a) may not exceed the greater of:
            (A) one million dollars ($1,000,000);
            (B) the amount shown on the applicable financial statement as earnings permanently reinvested outside the United States; or
            (C) in the case of an applicable financial statement that fails to show a specific amount of earnings permanently reinvested outside the United States and that shows a specific amount of tax liability attributable to the earnings, the amount equal to the amount of the liability divided by eighty-five thousandths (0.085).
        The amounts described in clauses (B) and (C) shall be treated as being zero (0) if there is no statement or the statement fails to show a specific amount of earnings or liability, whichever applies.


        (2) The amount of dividends taken into account under subsection (a) may not exceed the excess (if any) of the remainder of:
            (A) the dividends received during the taxable year by the shareholder from controlled foreign corporations; minus
            (B) the annual average for the base period years of:
                (i) the dividends received during each base period year by the shareholder from controlled foreign corporations;
                (ii) the amounts includable in the shareholder's gross income for each base period year under Section 951(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to controlled foreign corporations; and
                (iii) the amounts that would have been included for each base period year but for Section 959(a) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to controlled foreign corporations.
            The amount taken into account under item (iii) for any base period year may not include any amount that is not includable in gross income by reason of an amount described in item (ii) with respect to a prior taxable year.
        Amounts described in clause (B) for any base period year must be the amounts shown on the most recent return filed for that year, except that amended returns filed after June 30, 2012, may not be taken into account.
        (3) The amount of dividends that would (but for this subdivision) be taken into account under subsection (a) shall be reduced by the excess (if any) of:
            (A) the amount of indebtedness of the controlled foreign corporation to any related person (as defined in Section 954(d)(3)) of the Internal Revenue Code as of the close of the taxable year for which the election under this section is in effect; minus
            (B) the amount of indebtedness of the controlled foreign corporation to any related person (as so defined) as of December 31, 2012.
        All controlled foreign corporations with respect to which the taxpayer is a United States shareholder shall be treated as one (1) controlled foreign corporation for purposes of this subdivision.
        (4) Subsection (a) does not apply to any dividend received by a United States shareholder unless the amount of the dividend is invested in Indiana under a domestic reinvestment plan

that:
            (A) is approved by:
                (i) the taxpayer's president, chief executive officer, or comparable official before the payment of the dividend and subsequently approved by the taxpayer's board of directors, management committee, executive committee, or similar body; and
                (ii) the Indiana economic development corporation; and
            (B) provides for the reinvestment of the dividend in Indiana (other than as payment for executive compensation), including as a source for the funding of worker hiring and training, infrastructure, research and development, capital investments, or the financial stabilization of the corporation for the purposes of job retention or creation.
    (c) For purposes of this section, the following apply:
        (1) "Applicable financial statement" refers, with respect to a United States shareholder, to the most recently audited financial statement (including notes and other documents which accompany such a statement) that includes the shareholder:

            (B) that is used for the purposes of a statement or report:
                (i) to creditors;
                (ii) to shareholders; or
                (iii) for any other substantial nontax purpose.
        In the case of a corporation required to file a financial statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the term means the most recent financial statement filed on or before the date established by the Indiana economic development corporation.
        (2) "Base period years" means:
            (A) the three (3) taxable years:
                (i) that are among the five (5) most recent taxable years ending on or before the date established by the Indiana economic development corporation for the corporation; and
                (ii) that are determined by disregarding one (1) taxable year for which the sum of the amounts described in

subsection (b)(2)(B)(i), (b)(2)(B)(ii), and (b)(2)(B)(iii) is the largest and the one (1) taxable year for which the sum is the smallest.
            (B) If the taxpayer has fewer than five (5) taxable years ending on or before the date established by the Indiana economic development corporation for the corporation, then instead of applying clause (A), the base period years include all the taxable years of the taxpayer ending on or before the date established by the Indiana economic development corporation for the corporation.
            (C) With regard to mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, or similar situations:
                (i) Rules similar to the rules of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of Section 41(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code apply for purposes of this subdivision.
                (ii) If there is a distribution to which Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (or so much of Section 356 of the Internal Revenue Code as relates to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code) applies during the five (5) year period referred to in clause (A)(i) and the controlled corporation (within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code) is a United States shareholder, the controlled corporation shall be treated as being in existence during the period that the distributing corporation (within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code) is in existence. In addition, for purposes of applying subsection (b)(2) to the controlled corporation and the distributing corporation, amounts described in subsection (b)(2)(B) that are received or includable by the distributing corporation or controlled corporation (whichever applies) before the distribution from a controlled foreign corporation shall be allocated between these corporations in proportion to their respective interests as United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation immediately after the distribution. However, this allocation does not apply if neither the controlled corporation nor the distributing corporation is a United States shareholder of the controlled foreign corporation immediately after the distribution.
        (3) "Dividend" does not include amounts includable in gross income as a dividend under Section 78 of the Internal

Revenue Code, Section 367 of the Internal Revenue Code, or Section 1248 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in the case of a liquidation under Section 332 of the Internal Revenue Code to which Section 367(b) of the Internal Revenue Code applies, the exclusion does not apply to the extent the United States shareholder actually receives cash as part of the liquidation.
        (4) A deduction is not allowed under any other law for any dividend for which a deduction is allowed under this section.
        (5) With regard to controlled groups the following apply:
            (A) All United States shareholders that are members of an affiliated group filing a consolidated return under Section 1501 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be treated as one (1) United States shareholder.
            (B) All corporations that are treated as a single employer under Section 52(a) of the Internal Revenue Code shall be limited to one (1) ceiling amount in subsection (b)(1)(A), and the amount shall be divided among these corporations as prescribed by the Indiana economic development corporation.
            (C) If a financial statement is an applicable financial statement for more than one (1) United States shareholder, the amount applicable under subsection (b)(1)(B) or (b)(1)(C) shall be divided among these shareholders as prescribed by the Indiana economic development corporation.
    (d) No other credit or deduction is allowed under any other law for the following:
        (1) Any taxes paid or accrued (or treated as paid or accrued) with respect to the deductible part of:
            (A) any dividend; or
            (B) any amount described in subsection (a)(2) which is included in income under Section 951(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code.
        No deduction is allowed under this section for any tax for which credit is not allowable by reason of this subdivision.
        (2) Expenses properly allocated and apportioned to the deductible part described in subdivision (1).
For purposes of this section, unless the taxpayer otherwise specifies, the deductible part of any dividend or other amount is the amount that bears the same ratio to the amount of the dividend or other amount as the amount allowed as a deduction under

    (e) A deduction under this section may not reduce the adjusted gross income of any United States shareholder for any taxable year to less than zero (0).

    (f) A taxpayer may elect to apply this section to:
        (1) the taxpayer's last taxable year that begins in the year the deduction is approved by the Indiana economic development corporation; or
        (2) the taxpayer's first taxable year that begins in the year after the year the deduction is approved by the Indiana economic development corporation.
An election may be made for a taxable year only if it is made before the due date (including extensions) for filing the return of tax for that taxable year. An election may cover not more than two (2) taxable years for any particular taxpayer.

    (g) A person that disagrees with a decision in a letter of findings may request a rehearing not more than thirty (30) days after the date on which the letter of findings is issued by the department.

(a) Except as provided in IC 6-8.1-5-3 and section 16 of this chapter, the department must issue a demand notice for the payment of a tax and any interest or penalties accrued on the tax, if a person files a tax return without including full payment of the tax or if the department, after ruling on a protest, finds that a person owes the tax before the department issues a tax warrant. The demand notice must state the following:
        (1) That the person has ten (10) days from the date the department mails the notice to either pay the amount demanded or show reasonable cause for not paying the amount demanded.

When the department issues a tax warrant, a collection fee of ten percent (10%) of the unpaid tax is added to the total amount due.
    (c) When the department issues a tax warrant, it may not file the warrant with the circuit court clerk of any county in which the person owns property until at least twenty (20) days after the date the demand notice was mailed to the taxpayer. The department may also send the warrant to the sheriff of any county in which the person owns property and direct the sheriff to file the warrant with the circuit court clerk:
        (1) at least twenty (20) days after the date the demand notice was mailed to the taxpayer; and
        (2) no later than five (5) days after the date the department issues the warrant.
    (d) When the circuit court clerk receives a tax warrant from the department or the sheriff, the clerk shall record the warrant by making

        (1) The name of the person owing the tax.
        (2) The amount of the tax, interest, penalties, collection fee, sheriff's costs, clerk's costs, and fees established under section 4(b) of this chapter when applicable.
        (3) The date the warrant was filed with the clerk.
    (e) When the entry is made, the total amount of the tax warrant becomes a judgment against the person owing the tax. The judgment creates a lien in favor of the state that attaches to all the person's interest in any:
        (1) chose in action in the county; and
        (2) real or personal property in the county;
excepting only negotiable instruments not yet due.
    (f) A judgment obtained under this section is valid for ten (10) years from the date the judgment is filed. The department may renew the judgment for additional ten (10) year periods by filing an alias tax warrant with the circuit court clerk of the county in which the judgment previously existed.
    (g) A judgment arising from a tax warrant in a county may be released by the department:
        (1) after the judgment, including all accrued interest to the date of payment, has been fully satisfied; or
        (2) if the department determines that the tax assessment or the issuance of the tax warrant was in error.
    (h) If the department determines that the filing of a tax warrant was in error, the department shall mail a release of the judgment to the taxpayer and the circuit court clerk of each county where the warrant was filed. The department shall mail the release as soon as possible but no later than seven (7) days after:
        (1) the determination by the department that the filing of the warrant was in error; and
        (2) the receipt of information by the department that the judgment has been recorded under subsection (d).
    (i) If the department determines that a judgment described in subsection (h) is obstructing a lawful transaction, the department shall mail a release of the judgment to the taxpayer and the circuit court clerk of each county where the judgment was filed immediately upon making the determination.
    (j) A release issued under subsection (h) or (i) must state that the filing of the tax warrant was in error. Upon the request of the taxpayer, the department shall mail a copy of a release issued under subsection

(h) or (i) to each major credit reporting company located in each county where the judgment was filed.
    (k) The commissioner shall notify each state agency or officer supplied with a tax warrant list of the issuance of a release under subsection (h) or (i).
    (l) If the sheriff collects the full amount of a tax warrant, the sheriff shall disburse the money collected in the manner provided in section 3(c) of this chapter. If a judgment has been partially or fully satisfied by a person's surety, the surety becomes subrogated to the department's rights under the judgment. If a sheriff releases a judgment:
        (1) before the judgment is fully satisfied;
        (2) before the sheriff has properly disbursed the amount collected; or
        (3) after the sheriff has returned the tax warrant to the department;
the sheriff commits a Class B misdemeanor and is personally liable for the part of the judgment not remitted to the department.

(a) If a person has paid more tax than the person determines is legally due for a particular taxable period, the person may file a claim for a refund with the department. Except as provided in subsections (f), and (g), and (h), in order to obtain the refund, the person must file the claim with the department within three (3) years after the latter of the following:
        (1) The due date of the return.
        (2) The date of payment.
For purposes of this section, the due date for a return filed for the state

gross retail or use tax, the gasoline tax, the special fuel tax, the motor carrier fuel tax, the oil inspection fee, or the petroleum severance tax is the end of the calendar year which contains the taxable period for which the return is filed. The claim must set forth the amount of the refund to which the person is entitled and the reasons that the person is entitled to the refund.
    (b) When the department receives a claim for refund, the department shall consider the claim for refund and shall, if the taxpayer requests, hold a hearing on the claim for refund to obtain and consider additional evidence. After considering the claim and all evidence relevant to the claim, the department shall issue a decision on the claim, stating the part, if any, of the refund allowed and containing a statement of the reasons for any part of the refund that is denied. The department shall mail a copy of the decision to the person who filed the claim. If the department allows the full amount of the refund claim, a warrant for the payment of the claim is sufficient notice of the decision.
    (c) If the person disagrees with any part of the department's decision, the person may appeal the decision, regardless of whether or not the person protested the tax payment or whether or not the person has accepted a refund. The person must file the appeal with the tax court. The tax court does not have jurisdiction to hear a refund appeal suit, if:
        (1) the appeal is filed more than three (3) years after the date the claim for refund was filed with the department;
        (2) the appeal is filed more than ninety (90) days after the date the department mails the decision of denial to the person; or
        (3) the appeal is filed both before the decision is issued and before the one hundred eighty-first day after the date the person files the claim for refund with the department.
    (d) The tax court shall hear the appeal de novo and without a jury, and after the hearing may order or deny any part of the appealed refund. The court may assess the court costs in any manner that it feels is equitable. The court may enjoin the collection of any of the listed taxes under IC 33-26-6-2. The court may also allow a refund of taxes, interest, and penalties that have been paid to and collected by the department.
    (e) With respect to the motor vehicle excise tax, this section applies only to penalties and interest paid on assessments of the motor vehicle excise tax. Any other overpayment of the motor vehicle excise tax is subject to IC 6-6-5.
    (f) If a taxpayer's federal income tax liability for a taxable year is modified by the Internal Revenue Service, and the modification would

result in a reduction of the tax legally due, the due date by which the taxpayer must file a claim for refund with the department is the later of:
        (1) the date determined under subsection (a); or
        (2) the date that is six (6) months one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which the taxpayer is notified of the modification by the Internal Revenue Service.
    (g) If an agreement to extend the assessment time period is entered into under IC 6-8.1-5-2(h), the period during which a person may file a claim for a refund under subsection (a) is extended to the same date to which the assessment time period is extended.
     (h) If a taxpayer's claim for a refund of gross retail or use tax is based on:
        (1) IC 6-2.5-4-5(c)(3); or
        (2) the exemption provided by IC 6-2.5-5-5.1 for electrical energy, natural or artificial gas, water, steam, and steam heat;
the person must file the claim with the department within one (1) year after the date of payment.

(a) If the department finds that a person has paid more tax for a taxable year than is legally due, the department shall apply the amount of the excess against any amount of that same tax that is assessed and is currently due. The department may then apply any remaining excess against any of the listed taxes that have been assessed against the person and that are currently due. Subject to subsection (c), if any excess remains after the department has applied the overpayment against the person's tax liabilities, the department shall either refund the amount to the person or, at the person's request, credit the amount to the person's future tax liabilities.
    (b) Subject to subsection (c), if a court determines that a person has paid more tax for a taxable year than is legally due, the department shall refund the excess amount to the person.
    (c) As used in this subsection, "pass through entity"means a corporation that is exempt from the adjusted gross income tax under IC 6-3-2-2.8(2), a partnership, a limited liability company, or a limited liability partnership and "pass through income" means a person's distributive share of adjusted gross income for a taxable year attributable to the person's interest in a pass through entity. This subsection applies to a person's overpayment of adjusted gross income tax for a taxable year if:
        (1) the person has filed a timely claim for refund with respect to

the overpayment under IC 6-8.1-9-1;
        (2) the overpayment:
            (A) is with respect to a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009;
            (B) is attributable to amounts paid to the department by:
                (i) a nonresident shareholder, partner, or member of a pass through entity;
                (ii) a pass through entity under IC 6-3-4-12 or IC 6-3-4-13 on behalf of a nonresident shareholder, partner, or member of the pass through entity; or
                (iii) a pass through entity under IC 6-3-4-12 or IC 6-3-4-13 on behalf of a nonresident shareholder, partner, or member of another pass through entity; and
        (3) the overpayment arises from a determination by the department or a court that the person's pass through income is not includible in the person's adjusted gross income derived from sources within Indiana as a result of the application of IC 6-3-2-2(a)(5). and IC 6-3-2-2.2(g).
The department shall apply the overpayment to the person's liability for taxes that have been assessed and are currently due as provided in subsection (a) and apply any remaining overpayment as a credit or credits in satisfaction of the person's liability for listed taxes in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008. If the person, including any successor to the person's interest in the overpayment, does not have sufficient liability for listed taxes against which to credit all the remaining overpayment in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2008, and ending before January 1, 2019, the taxpayer is not entitled for any taxable year ending after December 31, 2018, to have any part of the remaining overpayment applied, refunded, or credited to the person's liability for listed taxes. If an overpayment or part of an overpayment is required to be applied as a credit under this subsection to the person's liability for listed taxes for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2008, and has not been determined by the department or a court to meet the conditions of subdivision (3) by the due date of the person's return for a listed tax for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2008, the department shall refund to the person that part of the overpayment that should have been applied as a credit for such taxable year within ninety (90) days of the date that the department or a court makes the determination that the overpayment meets the conditions of subdivision (3). However, the department may establish a program to refund small overpayment amounts that do not exceed the threshold dollar value established by the department rather than

crediting the amounts against tax liability accruing for a taxable year after December 31, 2008. A person that receives a refund or credit under this subsection shall file a report with the department in the form and in the schedule specified by the department that identifies under penalties of perjury the home state or other jurisdiction where the income subject to the refund or credit was reported as income attributable to that state or jurisdiction.
    (d) An excess tax payment that is not refunded or credited against a current or future tax liability within ninety (90) days after the date the refund claim is filed, the date the tax payment was due, or the date the tax was paid, whichever is latest, accrues interest from the date the refund claim is filed at the rate established under IC 6-8.1-10-1 until a date, determined by the department, that does not precede by more than thirty (30) days, the date on which the refund or credit is made. As used in this subsection, "refund claim" includes an amended return that indicates an overpayment of tax.

    (b) If a taxpayer who wishes to enjoin the collection of a tax pending the original tax appeal and the collection action is not prohibited under IC 6-8.1-8-16, the taxpayer must file a petition with the tax court to enjoin the collection of the tax. The petition must set forth a summary of:
        (1) the issues that the petitioner will raise in the original tax appeal; and
        (2) the equitable considerations for which the tax court should order the collection of the tax to be enjoined.
    (c) After a hearing on the petition filed under subsection (b), the tax court may enjoin the collection of the tax pending the original tax appeal, if the tax court finds that:
        (1) the issues raised by the original tax appeal are substantial;

        (3) the equitable considerations favoring the enjoining of the collection of the tax outweigh the state's interests in collecting the tax pending the original tax appeal.
