Indiana DOR Nears Completion of Multi-Year Tax System Modernization Final Group of Taxes Added to New Indiana Tax System

0

Indianapolis, Indiana–The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) is nearing the completion of its multi-year tax system modernization effort with today’s launch of the fourth and final rollout of Project NextDOR.

With the support of Governor Holcomb and the Indiana General Assembly, the transformation of DOR’s tax systems and service delivery began in 2017 and has been the agency’s focus for the last five years. The Indiana Tax System (ITS) was officially introduced in September 2019 along with DOR’s new e-services portal, the Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine (INTIME). Through a series of carefully planned rollouts, the new tax system and portal replaced the agency’s legacy tax systems that had been in production for more than 25 years.

Each annual rollout transitioned a group of designated taxes from the old systems to ITS and added customer functionality on INTIME. For the final rollout (Rollout 4), DOR added new and enhanced electronic filing and payment services for customers who file Fuel, Alcohol, Cigarette, Other Tobacco Products, and other special taxes:

“Our entire team is excited to wrap up this critical phase of DOR’s modernization journey with this fourth rollout,” said DOR Commissioner Bob Grennes. “The addition of this final group of taxes to ITS and INTIME further enhances the service benefits for our customers and our DOR team. It also solidifies the successful execution of Project NextDOR which we are proud to say will be completed on time and on budget.”

Milestones reached through the completion of three of the four Project NextDOR rollouts include:

  • 9 million accounts converted to ITS
  • 2 million returns converted to ITS
  • 420,000 INTIME registrations
  • 6 million business returns filed through INTIME
  • 71,000 electronic Power of Attorney (ePOA) *new functionality
  • 27,000 address changes through INTIME *new functionality

INTIME is now available 24/7 for business, corporate, and individual customers to manage their Indiana taxes at intime.dor.in.gov. For a complete list of INTIME tax types and functionality, visit dor.in.gov and click on the “Access INTIME” button.

DOR offers customers several INTIME user guides with instructions and tips to support the transition to the new e-services portal:

Moore Joins USI Men’s Basketball Staff

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball Head Coach Stan Gouard announced hiring of Chris Moore as an assistant coach in 2022-23. Moore will be assisting Gouard in all facets of the program.

“As USI inches closer to its Division I debut, I wanted to get someone with Division I coaching experience or Ohio Valley Conference experience and we found both in Chris,” said Gouard. “I’ve known Chris for 15 years and he has a very strong background in the OVC from a coaching and a recruiting standpoint, but more importantly he is a high-character professional.

“Chris also has the ability to relate to young people,” continued Gouard. “He also has a passion for player development and we are excited to welcome Chris into our basketball family.”

Moore, who comes to USI after spending the last year as the director of basketball operations for Recruiting Boost in Greenville, South Carolina, has a wealth of coaching experience at all levels during the last 22 years.

Within the OVC, Moore was an assistant coach at Southeast Missouri State University (2015-18) and Morehead State University (2006-10). He helped coach three All-OVC performers and the 2017 OVC Freshman of the Year during his tenure at SEMO, while assisting Morehead to the 2009 OVC Tournament title, back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time in program history, and coaching the 2008 OVC Freshman of the Year.

In addition to tenures at SEMO and Morehead, Moore made stops at Wright State University (2010-15), Bellarmine University (2003-05), Indiana University-Southeast (2002-03), and the University of Cincinnati (2000-02).

Over the last 22 years, Moore has coached two All-Americans, 18 All-Conference performers, three Freshmen of the Year honorees, eleven 1,000-point scorers and 26 players who have gone on to play professionally. He also coached Kenneth Faried (2007-10), who was the 22nd overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Denver Nuggets, during his tenure at Morehead.

Ranked as one of the top 25 mid-major assistants in the country according to CoachStat.net and a top five assistant in the Horizon League by Next-Up Recruits after the 2014-15 season, Moore
was a three-time letterman at Kentucky State University, earning Academic All-America honors in 1990-91 and serving as team captain his senior year.

Moore earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Kentucky State in 1991 and a master’s degree in sport administration from the University of Louisville in 2000.

Gov. Holcomb Issues Op Ed Calling On the General Assembly To Return $1 Billion Of State Reserves To Hoosier Taxpayers

Let’s Not Wait To Spend a Billion Bucks Back to Hoosiers
By Governor Eric Holcomb

When the State of Indiana officially closed our fiscal books on June 30, we collected $1.24 billion dollars more than was last forecasted, which has created over $6 billion in reserves. In short, Indiana’s economy continues an unprecedented growth rate, thanks to employers and employees investing their time and talent right here at home.

You’ll recall our Automatic Tax Refund (ATR) formula kicked in earlier this year and the state began sending $125 to every taxpayer or $250 to those who file jointly, starting with those the Department of Revenue could transfer funds to electronically. Checks will be mailed for the remaining taxpayers beginning in August only because the specific paper supply required was delayed until then. Thank you for your patience.

But that delay could be a blessing in disguise.  

That’s why I have called a Special Session to give an additional billion dollars back now, which would allow your August checks to read $350 versus $125. A 40-year high national rate of inflation is hitting Hoosiers daily and any tax funds the state holds beyond what is needed to operate state government and address unplanned events should be returned.

Hoosiers have long embraced speed. The General Assembly has the ability to act with swiftness this summer. We didn’t wait for a budget session in 2008 to permanently cap property taxes or earlier this year to cut personal income taxes and eliminate the utility services tax. We acted quickly because the moment called for it.

Indiana’s active fiscal stewardship has positioned us well over the last couple of decades. Our AAA credit rating is a direct reflection of these ongoing efforts. The Pre-1996 Teachers Retirement Fund was originally expected to require state support through 2060. Through the sustained discipline of making good on annual obligations as well as making $3.6 billion in additional contributions over the last two years, those appropriations are now on track to end by 2030 or sooner. In addition, we have paid off 26% of state debt obligations, helping us maintain our place as one of the states with the lowest debt per capita in the nation.

These prudent actions, coupled with the strength of Indiana’s economic rebound from the pandemic, position the state well to address a range of scenarios – including accounting for inflationary impacts on road and capital projects – when the next economic and revenue forecast is presented later this year. I will present a budget next year that calls for increases in K-12 education, state employee wages, our public health system and another round of READI programming because the need and local match is there.

And, contrary to some claims, sending all Hoosier taxpayers an upgraded $350 refund will not add to inflation. This “refund” is not like the trillions of federal dollars that were printed out of thin air and pumped into the national economy for months on end. These funds were already earned by taxpayers. Imagine if an employer said, “I’d give you a pay raise, my profits allow it, but that would just add to inflation, so please wait.”

Returning $350 this August will help Hoosiers at the pump, the grocery or even sending kids back to school. It is the fairest and fastest way to help. But, if there is a better idea to help Hoosiers now meet their household budgets, my sleeves are rolled up and I’m ready to pass a better plan when we all meet later this month.
