How ISP Uses State Tax Dollars

Welcome to May’s Money Monday (say that five times fast). But maybe not so fast that you break any laws, as this month’s featured agency is the Indiana State Police (ISP). ISP has approximately 1,700 employees (1,300 are state troopers) who work to protect our lives and property, investigate and deter crime and roadway safety by enforcing Indiana’s laws. Nearly all of ISP’s funding comes from state tax dollars or fees. Read more in our Tax Talk Blog.

The Show Must Go On And
Is for Project NextDOR

The onset of COVID-19 has impacted everyone around the State, DOR is no exception. However, the show must go on for agencies such as DOR because we are considered an essential agency for the state. Therefore, we have found more and more ways to allow us to continue providing support to our Hoosier customers. One of our many focus points is pushing forward with progress surrounding Project NextDOR—DOR’s modernization project.

The Project NextDOR team continues to hit major milestones in the process to prepare for Rollout 2. In other words, Rollout 2 is still scheduled to launch on Sept. 8, 2020. At that time, several new tax types will be incorporated into DOR’s new online e-services portal, INTIME—the Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine. For more information regarding the project and Rollout 2, visit ProjectNextDOR.dor.in.gov. Updates are regularly posted, so we encourage customers to “bookmark” the project page to ensure they stay up-to-date on all project progress.
