Income from a pass through entity shall be characterized in a manner consistent with the income's characterization for federal income tax purposes and shall be considered Indiana source income as if the person, corporation, or pass through entity that received the income had directly engaged in the income producing activity. Income that is derived from one (1) pass through entity and is considered to pass through to another pass through entity does not change these characteristics or attribution provisions. In the case of nonbusiness income described in subsection (g), only so much of such income as is allocated to this state under the provisions of subsections (h) through (k) shall be deemed to be derived from sources within Indiana. In the case of business income, only so much of such income as is apportioned to this state under the provision of subsection (b) shall be deemed to be derived from sources within the state of Indiana. In the case of compensation of a team member (as defined in section 2.7 of this chapter), only the portion of income determined to be Indiana income under section 2.7 of this chapter is considered derived from sources within Indiana. In the case of 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, only so much of the income as is apportioned to Indiana under subsection (r) is considered derived from sources within Indiana.

(1) For all taxable years that begin after December 31, 2006, and
before January 1, 2008, a fraction. The:
(A) numerator of the fraction is the sum of the property factor
plus the payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor
multiplied by three (3); and
(B) denominator of the fraction is five (5).
(2) For all taxable years that begin after December 31, 2007, and
before January 1, 2009, 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
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. 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.
(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.
(b) Resident persons are entitled to a net operating loss deduction. The amount of the deduction taken in a taxable year may not exceed the taxpayer's unused Indiana net operating losses
(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):
(1) The modifications that are to be applied are those modifications required under IC 6-3-1-3.5 for the same taxable year in which each net operating loss was incurred.
(2) 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 adjusted gross income (as defined in Section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code) for the taxable year in which the Indiana net operating loss is determined.
(e) Subject to the limitations contained in subsection (g), an Indiana net operating loss
(f)
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).
(b) Corporations and nonresident persons are entitled to a net operating loss deduction. The amount of the deduction taken in a taxable year may not exceed the taxpayer's unused Indiana net operating losses
(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, derived from sources within Indiana and
adjusted for the modifications required by IC 6-3-1-3.5.
(d) The following provisions apply for purposes of subsection (c):
(1) The modifications that are to be applied are those
modifications required under IC 6-3-1-3.5 for the same taxable
year in which each net operating loss was incurred.
(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.
(e) Subject to the limitations contained in subsection (g), an Indiana
net operating loss carryback or carryover shall be available as a
deduction from the taxpayer's adjusted gross income derived from
sources within Indiana (as defined in section 2 of this chapter) in the
carryback or carryover year provided in subsection (f).
(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
(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
(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).
(h) An Indiana net operating loss deduction determined under this section shall be allowed notwithstanding the fact that in the year the taxpayer incurred the net operating loss the taxpayer was not subject to the tax imposed under section 1 of this chapter because the taxpayer was:
(1) a life insurance company (as defined in Section 816(a) of the Internal Revenue Code); or
(2) an insurance company subject to tax under Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(i) In the case of a life insurance company that claims an operations loss deduction under Section 810 of the Internal Revenue Code, this section shall be applied by:

(2) substituting life insurance company taxable income (as defined in Section 801 the Internal Revenue Code) in place of references to taxable income (as defined in Section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code).
(b) Each taxpayer shall notify the department of any modification of:
(1) a federal income tax return filed by the taxpayer after January 1, 1978; or
(2) the taxpayer's federal income tax liability for a taxable year which begins after December 31, 1977.
The taxpayer shall file the notice on the form prescribed by the department within one hundred twenty (120) days after the modification is made if the modification was made before January 1, 2011, and one hundred eighty (180) days after the modification is made if the modification is made after December 31, 2010.
(c) If the federal modification results in a change in the taxpayer's federal or Indiana adjusted gross income, the taxpayer shall file an Indiana amended return within one hundred twenty (120) days after the modification is made if the modification was made before January 1, 2011, and one hundred eighty (180) days after the modification is made if the modification is made after December 31, 2010.
(b) In addition to the rates permitted by section 5 of this chapter, the entity that imposed the county economic development income tax
under section 5 of this chapter (or, in the case of a county that has not
imposed the county economic development income tax, the entity that
may impose the county economic development income tax under
section 5(a)(3) of this chapter) may by ordinance impose an additional
county economic development income tax at a rate of:
(1) in the case of a county described in IC 36-7.6-4-2(b)(2),

imposed under this section, the county treasurer shall establish a county
regional development authority fund. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this chapter, the county economic development income tax
revenues derived from the additional county economic development
income tax imposed under this section must be deposited in the county
regional development authority fund before any certified distributions
are made under section 12 of this chapter.

from the additional county economic development income tax imposed
under this section and deposited in the county regional development

finance in determining the county's maximum permissible
property tax levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5.
(e) Notwithstanding sections 5 and 6 of this chapter, if a county
becomes a member of a regional development authority under
IC 36-7.6 and imposes an additional county economic development
income tax under this section, then, notwithstanding section 11 or any
other provision of this chapter, the initial certified distribution of the
tax revenue that results from the additional tax shall be distributed to
the county treasurer from the account established for the county under
this chapter according to the following schedule during the eighteen

department shall consider the request and may grant the rehearing if the
department reasonably believes that a rehearing would be in the best
interests of the taxpayer and the state.
(h) If a person disagrees with a decision in a letter of findings, the
person may appeal the decision to the tax court. However, the tax court
does not have jurisdiction to hear an appeal that is filed more than sixty
(60) days after the date on which:
(1) the letter of findings is issued by the department, if the person
does not make a timely request for a rehearing under subsection
(g) on the letter of findings; or
(2) the department issues a denial of the person's timely request
for a rehearing under subsection (g) on the letter of findings.

hearing; or
(3) after consideration of the evidence presented in the protest or
hearing, the department finds that the person still owes tax.

If the department files a tax warrant in more than one (1) county, the department is not required to issue more than one (1) demand notice.
(b) If the person does not pay the amount demanded or show reasonable cause for not paying the amount demanded within the ten (10) day period, the department may issue a tax warrant for 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.
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.

(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 an entry in the judgment debtor's column of the judgment record, listing the following:
(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;
