DOR Reminds Individuals To Wait To File Until They Have All Documentation
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Most Indiana tax forms for the 2022 Individual Income Tax season are now available online. However, the Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) is reminding Hoosiers to wait until they receive their official tax documents and statements before filing their 2021 tax return.
All employers are required to provide Form W-2’s to employees by Jan. 31, 2022. Other forms may be needed to file an accurate tax return, including documents on freelance or gig income, business income, investments, interest, or prize winnings.
Employers may continue to adjust annual wage and deduction amounts before sending the official Form W-2 to employees and related wage information to the IRS and DOR. Customers who use the information on their last paycheck of the year or other unofficial sources of information for tax purposes risk having to file an amended tax return with adjusted numbers. This can delay any tax refund due, cause the taxpayer to repay a tax refund received in error, or pay penalties and interest on any additional amount owed.
