General Filing Requirements for FIT-20 Forms and Schedules Copies of pages 1 through 5 of the corporation’s federal income tax return must be enclosed with Form FIT-20 along with Schedule M-3 as well as any extension of time to file form(s). This requirement is made under the authority of Indiana Code (IC) 6-5.5-6-5. Extension of Time to File All Indiana financial institutions tax return due dates are treated the same as extensions granted because of a federal income tax due date extension. Who Must File Form FIT-20 IC 6-5.5-2-1 imposes a financial institution tax on the adjusted gross income of any corporation transacting the business of a financial institution, including a holding company, a regulated financial corporation, a subsidiary of a holding company or regulated financial corporation, or any other corporation carrying on the business of a financial institution. Any taxpayer who is subject to tax under IC 6-5.5 is exempt from Indiana’s adjusted gross income tax. The financial institution tax extends to financial institutions and to all other corporate entities when 80% or more of its gross income is derived from activities that constitute the business of a financial institution. The business of a financial institution is defined as activities authorized by the federal reserve board; the making, acquiring, selling, or servicing of loans or extensions of credit; acting as an agent, a broker, or an advisor in connection with leasing real and personal property that is the economic equivalent of an extension of credit; or operating a credit card, debit card, or charge card business. File the general Indiana corporate adjusted gross income tax return, Form IT-20, if for the taxable year the 80% threshold of gross income derived from activities that constitute the business of a financial institution is not met. This form is available online at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/2023corporatepartnership-income-tax-forms. Due Date • • A taxpayer is presumed to “regularly” engage in the above activities when its assets attributable to Indiana are equal to at least $5 million or it has 20 or more Indiana customers. Maintaining or defending an action or a suit; Filing, modifying, renewing, extending, or transferring a mortgage, deed of trust, or security interest; • Acquiring, foreclosing, or otherwise conveying property in Indiana as a result of a default under the terms of a mortgage, deed of trust, or security interest relating to the property; • Selling tangible personal property, if taxation under this law is precluded because of P.L. 86-272; • Owning an interest in the following types of property even though activities are conducted in Indiana that are reasonably required to evaluate and complete the acquisition or disposition of the property, the servicing of the property, or the income from the property, or the acquisition or liquidation of collateral relating to the property; • An interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a real estate investment trust, or a regulated investment company; • An interest in a loan-backed security representing ownership or participation in a pool of promissory notes or certificates of interest providing for payments in relation to payments or reasonable projections of payments on the notes or certificates; • An interest in a loan or other asset where the interest is attributed to a consumer loan, commercial loan, or secured commercial loan and where the payment obligations were solicited and entered into by a person who is independent and not acting on behalf of the owner; • An interest in the right to service or collect income from a loan or other asset where interest on the loan is attributed as a loan described above and the payment obligations were solicited and entered into by a person who is independent and not acting on behalf of the owner; or • An amount held in an escrow or trust account with respect to the property described previously. Acting: • As an executor of an estate; • As a trustee of a benefit plan; • As a trustee of an employee’s pension, profit sharing, or other retirement plan; • As a trustee of a testamentary or inter vivos trust or corporate indenture; or • In any other fiduciary capacity, including holding title to real property in Indiana. Exempt Entities Method of Reporting The return due date is the 15th day of the 5th month after the end of the tax year. Apportionment of Adjusted Gross Income The financial institution tax is imposed on the apportioned Indiana income of financial institutions. The law employs a single-factor receipts formula to determine the percentage of the taxpayer’s income subject to the tax. The single-factor formula is derived by dividing the gross receipts attributable to transacting business in Indiana by the total receipts from transacting business in all taxing jurisdictions. Nexus Rules The law is based on the ability of a corporation under modern technology to transact the business of a financial institution in Indiana, regardless of the principal location of its offices and employees. A taxpayer is transacting business in Indiana for purposes of the FIT when it satisfies any of the following eight tests: • Maintains an office in Indiana; • Has an employee, a representative, or an independent contractor conducting business in Indiana; • Regularly sells products or services of any kind or nature to customers in Indiana who receive the product or service in Indiana; • Regularly solicits business from potential customers in Indiana; • Regularly performs services outside Indiana that are consumed within Indiana; • Regularly engages in transactions with customers in Indiana involving intangible property, including loans, but not property described in IC 6-5.5-3-8(5), and resulting in receipts flowing to the taxpayer from within Indiana; • Owns or leases tangible personal or real property located in Indiana; or • Regularly solicits and receives deposits from customers in Indiana. Four specific types of organizations are exempted from the FIT: • Insurance companies otherwise subject to tax under IC 6-3, IC 27-1-2-2.3, or IC 27-1-18-2; • International banking facilities; • S corporations exempt from income tax under IRC Section 1363; and • Nonprofit corporations unless the nonprofit corporation has unrelated business income (with the exception of state chartered credit unions). Federal law prohibits state taxation of federally chartered credit unions. Exempt Transactions A taxpayer is not considered to be transacting business in Indiana if the ONLY activities of the taxpayer in Indiana are in connection with any of the following: A taxpayer is allowed to file a separate return only in those instances where the taxpayer is not a member of a unitary group. Members of a unitary group must file collectively on one combined return. No provision is made for filing consolidated returns. If the taxpayer is a member of a unitary group, combined reporting is mandatory. However, if the taxpayer determines that its Indiana income is not accurately reflected by the filing of a combined return, the taxpayer can petition DOR. Such petition is subject to approval by DOR. The petition must include the name and federal employer identification number of each member of the group petitioning for an alternative method. Each member must include its justification for the alternative method. FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 Page 5 Petitions may be sent to: Indiana Department of Revenue Tax Policy Division 100 N Senate Ave, N248, MS 102 Indianapolis, IN 46204-2253 A partnership is not required to withhold FIT on behalf of its resident corporate taxpayers as defined by IC 6-5.5-1-13. The resident corporate partners are responsible for paying the relevant FIT or adjusted gross income tax themselves. See the Instructions for Form IT-65 for further information regarding withholding requirements. Once the petition is approved, the taxpayer will indicate on the annual return that the return is a separate return made by a member of a unitary group. Attach DOR’s letter granting petition to the annual return filing. Example. A bank in Maine and a bank in Indiana form a partnership to make loans to Indiana borrowers. The only Indiana activity of the Maine bank is its involvement in the partnership. The partnership is required to withhold FIT on the Maine bank’s share of the partnership income. Members of a Unitary Group The combined return shall include the adjusted gross income of all members of the unitary group that are transacting business wholly or partially within Indiana. The statute provides exclusion for the income of corporations or other entities organized in foreign countries, except a federal or state branch of a foreign bank or its subsidiary that transacts business in Indiana. United States Government Obligations “Unitary business” means business activities or operations that are of mutual benefit, dependent upon or contributory to one another, individually or as a group, in transacting the business of a financial institution. The term can be applied within a single entity or between multiple entities and without regard to whether each entity is a corporation, partnership, or trust. Unity is presumed if there is unity of ownership, operation, or use as evidenced by centralized purchasing, advertising, accounting, or other controlled interaction among entities that are members of the unitary group as defined in IC 6-5.5-1-18(a). Extensions for Filing Unity of ownership exists for a corporation if it is a member of a group of two or more business entities, 50% of whose voting stock is owned by a common owner or owners or by one or more of the member corporations of the group. The taxpayer designated as the reporting member of a unitary group shall file a combined return that includes all operations of the unitary business. List members included in the combined return by completing FIT-20 Schedule H. See Instructions for Filing a Combined Return beginning on page 19. Partnerships Partnerships and trusts as entities are not subject to FIT. Partnerships conducting the business of a financial institution are required to file the appropriate informational return, Form IT-65. Trusts conducting the business of a financial institution in Indiana are required to file the appropriate tax returns. If the entity is a partnership and has nonresident corporate partners that are themselves conducting the business of a financial institution, the partnership is required to withhold FIT on behalf of the non-resident corporate partner on the nonresident partner’s share of the partnership income. If the nonresident corporate partner is not otherwise itself conducting the business of a financial institution, the partnership is required to withhold Indiana adjusted gross income tax on the non-resident partner’s share of the partnership income. The apportionable income attributable to the partner is the same percentage as its distributive share of the partnership’s income. Page 6 FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 Although interest earned on U.S. obligations is not subject to income taxation, it is not preempted by federal law from being included in the tax base of a franchise tax. Therefore, interest from U.S. obligations is not to be subtracted from federal taxable income in determining the adjusted gross income for the FIT. DOR accepts the federal extension of time application (Form 7004) or the federal electronic extension. If the taxpayer has one, there is no need to contact DOR prior to filing the annual return. Returns postmarked within one month after the last date indicated on the federal extension will be considered timely filed. If the taxpayer does not need a federal extension of time but needs one for filing a state return, an extension request and prepayment of 90% can be submitted via INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal at intime.dor.in.gov, or by submitting a letter requesting an extension prior to the annual return’s due date. To request an Indiana extension of time to file by letter, contact: Indiana Department of Revenue Corporate Income Tax Tax Administration P.O. Box 7206 Indianapolis, IN 46207-7206 If there is a valid extension of time or a federal electronic extension to file, check Yes on line V on the front of the return. If applicable, enclose a copy of the federal extension of time when filing the state return. An extension of time granted under IC 6-8.1-6-1 waives the late payment penalty for the extension period on the balance of tax due provided at least 90% of the tax due is paid by the original due date and the remaining balance, plus interest, is paid in full by the extended due date. Use DOR’s e-services portal, INTIME, at intime. dor.in.gov to make an extension payment for the taxable year. If a payment is not submitted electronically, it must be made with the financial institution preprinted extension form included with the estimated coupon packet Form FT-ES. This payment will be processed as a fifth estimated payment. Note. Any tax paid after the original due date must include interest. Interest on the balance of tax due must be included with the return when it is filed. Interest is computed from the original due date until the date of payment. In October of each year, DOR establishes the interest rate for the next calendar year. See Departmental Notice #3 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/dn03.pdf for interest rates. Amended Returns A taxpayer must notify DOR within 180 days of final alterations or modifications to its federal income tax return (federal adjustment, RAR, etc.) by filing an amended Form FIT-20. To amend a previously filed Form FIT-20, file a corrected copy of the original form. Check the box at the top of the form for filing an amended return. To claim a refund of an overpayment, file the return within three years from the latter of the date of the overpayment or the due date of the return. IC 6-8.1-9-1 entitles a taxpayer to claim a refund because of a reduction in tax liability resulting from a final federal modification. The claim for refund must be filed within 180 days from the date of notice of the final modification by the Internal Revenue Service unless the normal three year statute of limitations has yet to expire. If an agreement to extend the statute of limitations for an assessment is entered into between the taxpayer and DOR, the period for filing a claim for refund is likewise extended. Estimated Quarterly Payments Quarterly payments of estimated financial institution tax are required under IC 6-5.5-6-3 if the annual tax liability is $2,500 or more. The quarterly due dates for estimated quarterly payments of a calendar year filer are April 20, June 20, September 20, and December 20 of the taxable year. If a taxpayer uses a taxable year that does not end on December 31, the due dates for the estimated quarterly financial institution tax payments are on or before the 20th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of the taxpayer’s taxable year. Estimated quarterly payments can be made via INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal at intime.dor.in.gov. If a payment is not submitted electronically via INTIME, it must be made with the financial institution estimated quarterly vouchers, Form FT-QP. DOR mails preprinted FT-QP vouchers to current FIT estimated account holders. Important. Estimated payments of $5,000 or more are required to be made electronically, with a penalty assessed for failure to comply. See page 4 for information about using INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal. Electronic Payment Requirements If the amount of financial institution tax exceeds an average liability of $5,000 per quarter (or $20,000 annually), a customer’s quarterly estimated tax payments must be remitted electronically via INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal at intime.dor.in.gov, or with an electronic funds transfer (EFT). If DOR is unable to obtain payment by the EFT, a penalty of $35 will be assessed. Because there is no minimum amount of payment, DOR encourages all taxpayers not required to remit by EFT to participate voluntarily in our EFT program. Note. Taxpayers remitting by EFT should not file quarterly FT-QP coupons. The amounts paid by EFT are reconciled when filing the annual income tax return. If DOR notifies a corporation of the requirements to remit by EFT, the corporation must remit via EFT by the date/tax period specified by DOR. Failure to submit a required quarterly payment electronically will result in a penalty of 10% being assessed at the time the annual income tax return is filed. The penalty is computed on each payment required to be made electronically that is instead submitted by another means. Indiana Code does not require the extension of time to file payment or final payment due with the annual tax return to be made by EFT. Be sure to claim any EFT payment as an extension or estimated payment credit. Do not file a return indicating an amount due for an amount that has been paid by EFT. Penalty for Underpayment of Estimated Taxes (IC 6-5.5-7-1) Corporations estimating financial institution tax liability are subject to a 10% underpayment penalty if the corporation fails to file estimated tax payments or fails to remit the sufficient amount of estimated payments. To avoid the penalty, the required quarterly estimated payment(s) should include at least 20% of the final financial institution tax liability for the current taxable year or 25% of the corporation’s final financial institution tax liability for the previous tax year. The penalty for the underpayment of estimated tax is assessed on the difference between the actual amount paid by the corporation for each quarter and 20% of the final liability for the current year or 25% of the corporation’s final tax liability for the previous tax year, whichever is less. Refer to Schedule FIT-2220, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Financial Institutions, on return page 4 of Form FIT-20. Instructions for Completing Form FIT-20 Filing Period and Identification File a 2023 Form FIT-20 return for a taxable year ending Dec. 31, 2023; a short tax year beginning in 2023; or a fiscal tax year beginning in 2023 and ending in 2024.

FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 Page 7 List the two-digit county code if filing a return for a corporate address in Indiana. See Departmental Notice #1 located at www. in.gov/dor/files/reference/dn01.pdf for a list of county codes. Enter “00” (two zeroes) in the county box D if corporate address lies outside of Indiana. Line 6. Enter the amount deducted for bad debt reserves (IRC Sec. 593). Enter the principal business activity code, derived from the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), in the designated block of the return. Use the six-digit activity code as reported on the federal corporation return. Line 8. Enter the amount deducted on the federal return for all state and local taxes based on or measured by income (IRC Sec. 63). Line 7. Enter the amount deducted for charitable contributions (IRC Sec. 170). Lines L through W of the FIT-20 must be completed for the return to be accepted by DOR. Check or complete all boxes that apply to the return. Line 9. Enter an amount equal to the capital loss carryover (from federal Schedule D: line 6, minus line 18 loss amount) to the extent used in offsetting capital gains allowed under IRC Section 1212. See the instructions to line 23 for subtracting the amount deductible for Indiana net capital losses. Check the “final return” box only if the corporation is dissolved, liquidated, or has withdrawn from the state. Timely file Form BC100 to close out any sales and withholding accounts. Complete these online at www.in.gov/dor/business-tax/closing-a-business-account. Line 10. Enter the amount of interest on state and local obligations excluded under IRC Section 103, or under any other federal law, minus the associated expenses disallowed in the computation of taxable income under IRC Section 265. Check the appropriate box if filing as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC). Lines 11 A, B, C, and D. Other Income Modifications Note. The return for a REMIC is due on the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the taxpayer’s tax year. Line 11A. Add or subtract an amount equal to the amount claimed as a deduction for excess business interest. If a deduction for interest paid or incurred in the current year has been disallowed under IRC Section 163(j), subtract the amount of interest disallowed in the current year. If you have interest that was actually paid or incurred in a previous taxable year but disallowed for federal purposes due to the limitations under IRC Section 163(j) AND deducted for federal purposes in the current taxable year, add back the amount of interest so deducted for federal purposes. Indicate on line V if an extension of time to file is in effect. If applicable, enclose a copy of federal Form 7004 when filing the state return. Schedule A – Line Instructions Per IC 6-8.1-6-4.5, round amounts to the nearest whole dollar. Each line on which an amount can be entered has a “.00” already filled in. This is a reminder that rounding is now required when completing the tax return. Also, do not use a comma in dollar amounts of four digits or more. For example, instead of entering “3,455” enter “3455.” Line 1. Enter federal taxable income from Federal Form 1120 before the net operating loss deduction or the special federal deduction. Note. If filing as a state-chartered credit union or an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, proceed to line 19 to enter adjusted gross income as defined under IC 6-5.5-1-2(b) and(c). Line 2. Enter the qualifying dividend deduction and any other amounts reported on Federal Form 1120, Line 29b. Line 3. Subtract line 2 from line 1. Add backs: Lines 4 through 10. Line 4. Enter the amount deducted for bad debt (IRC Sec. 166). See line 16 to report recovery of a previously reported worthless debt to the extent a deduction was allowed from gross income in a prior tax year under IRC Sec. 166(a). Line 5. Enter the amount deducted for bad debt reserves of banks (IRC Sec. 585). Page 8 FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 Enclose a complete explanation for adjustments. Line 11B. Add or subtract an amount attributable to bonus depreciation in excess of any regular depreciation that would be allowed had not an election under IRC Section 168(k) been made as applied to property in the year that it was placed into service. Taxpayers who own property for which additional first-year special depreciation for qualified property, including 100% bonus depreciation, was allowed in the current taxable year or in an earlier taxable year, must add or subtract an amount necessary to make adjusted gross income equal to the amount computed without applying any bonus depreciation. The subsequent depreciation allowance is to be calculated as if no bonus depreciation had been claimed until the property is disposed or the property is fully depreciated for Indiana purposes. If line 11B’s amount is negative, use a minus sign to denote that. Special rules may apply if the bonus depreciation is taken against property acquired in a like-kind exchange. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #118 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ ib118.pdf for additional information. The additional regular depreciation may be excluded in subsequent years from the amounts to be added back on line 11B, or 11C when excess IRC Section 179 deduction or bonus depreciation was elected for assets placed in service in those subsequent years. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #118 available at www. in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib118.pdf for information on the allowance of depreciation for state tax purposes. Line 11C. Add or subtract the amount necessary to make the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer that placed any IRC Section 179 property in service in the current taxable year or in an earlier taxable year equal to the amount of adjusted gross income that would have been computed as if the federal limit for expensing under IRC section 179 was $25,000 as opposed to $1,000,000 (adjusted for inflation). Indiana has adopted an expensing cap of $25,000. This modification affects the basis of the property if a higher Section 179 limit was applied. The federal increase to a $1,000,000 deduction was not allowed for purposes of calculating Indiana adjusted gross income. However, the $2,500,000 threshold for phase-out (adjusted for inflation) is allowed for purposes of calculating Indiana AGI. The depreciation allowances in the year of purchase and in later years must be adjusted to reflect the additional first-year depreciation deduction, including the special depreciation allowance for 100% bonus depreciation property, until the property is sold or fully depreciated for Indiana purposes. Special rules may apply if the Section 179 expensing is taken against property acquired in a like-kind exchange. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #118 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ ib118.pdf for additional information. Note. The net amount determined for the net bonus depreciation or the IRC Section 179 add-back might be a negative figure (because of a higher depreciation basis in subsequent years). If it is, use a minus sign to denote that. (If the taxable income is a loss, this adjustment increases a loss when added back.) Enclose a statement to explain the adjustment. Line 11D. Deduct the amount of income from qualified utility and plant patents included in federal taxable income as permitted under IC 6-3-2-21.7. Note. Use a minus sign to denote the negative amount. For tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2007, a portion of this income is exempt from Indiana AGI. For more information, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #104 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/ reference/ib104.pdf. been adding back the depreciation expense taken for federal purposes that exceeded the amount allowable for Indiana purposes. The accumulated depreciation on such an asset through 2012 is, therefore, different for federal and state purposes. This difference will remain until the asset is fully depreciated or until the time of its disposition. So, in this example, the asset was acquired in January 2009 at a purchase price of $120,000. This normally would have a 25-year recovery period, but IRC Sec. 168 allows for a 15-year recovery period. Tax year 2012 is the last year ABC Company will have reported a qualified restaurant equipment add-back until the end of the 15-year recovery period. If this asset was sold before being fully depreciated, the catch-up modification would be reflected in the year of the sale. However, if this property is held through 2023 (the 15th year of depreciation), ABC Company will report a negative $9,600 catch-up add-back on the 2023 state tax return. Reporting Certain Prior-Year Modifications In certain cases, a modification in a prior year may have been limited due to various federal limitations, including basis limitations, passive loss limitations, and at-risk loss limitations. Even though certain modifications may not apply to activities during the current taxable year, you may be required to report a modification when you have income against which to realize the modification. Use the modification code for the year in which the modification was actually accrued. This includes, but is not limited to, modifications required to be reported using 3-digit Code 149 (Meal Deduction Add-Back) and Code 634 (COVIDRelated Employee Retention Credit Disallowed Expenses Deduction). The following add-backs and deductions should be entered on lines 12A through 12D: Specified Research and Experimental Expenses Add-Back (3-digit code: 154) If you claimed a federal income tax deduction for specified research and experimental expenses that are required to be amortized for federal purposes pursuant to IRC section 174, add back the amount of expenses you actually deducted for federal income tax purposes. See the instructions for Code 641 for further information on the amount of expenses allowable as a deduction. Lines 12 A, B, C, and D. Total Add-Backs Note. If after printing of these instructions, IRC Section 174 is amended to allow immediate expensing of research and experimental expenses and you elect to amortize those expenses, you cannot use this code and Code 641 to accelerate the allowance of your expenses. Adding Back Depreciation Expenses Several of the discontinued add-backs were created by timing differences between federal and Indiana allowable expenses. Following is an example of how to report a difference: Example. Corporation DEF incurred $100,000 of specified research expenses in 2023. Corporation DEF reported $10,000 of amortized expenses in 2023. Corporation DEF will use Code 154 to add back the $10,000 claimed for federal purposes and use Code 641 to report $100,000 allowable for Indiana purposes. For 2024-2028, Corporation DEF will continue to use Code 154 to report timing differences. Enter any add-backs and deductions on lines 12A through 12D. Enter the name of the add-back/deduction, its 3-digit code, and its amount. Use a minus sign to denote a negative amount. Attach additional sheets if necessary. Example. ABC Company has qualified restaurant equipment. For federal tax purposes, they use the accelerated 15-year recovery period for an asset placed in service in 2009. Since 2009, ABC Company has FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 Page 9 Government or Civic Group Capital Contribution Deduction (3-digit code: 633) Subtract any amount included in federal taxable income that are capital contributions from a government or civic group and not excluded under IRC Section 118. Small Employer Health Insurance Premium Deduction (3-digit code: 639) If you: • claimed a federal tax credit for small employer health insurance premiums under IRC section 45R; and • would have been permitted a deduction for those premiums except for the disallowance under IRC section 280C(h), you are permitted a deduction for the portion of the premiums disallowed for federal purposes. Use Code 639 to enter the amount of premiums for which a deduction was disallowed for federal purposes because you claimed a federal tax credit for small employer health insurance premiums. Specified Research and Experimental Expenses Deduction (3-digit code: 641) If you claimed a federal income tax deduction for specified research and experimental expenses that are required to be amortized for federal purposes pursuant to IRC section 174, deduct the amount of expenses paid or incurred in the current taxable year for federal income tax purposes. See the instructions for Code 154 for further information on the amount of expenses required to be added back. Do not claim this deduction for any research expenses for which a deduction is disallowed under IRC section 280C(c). Note. If after printing of this bulletin, IRC Section 174 is amended to allow immediate expensing of research and experimental expenses and you elect to amortize those expenses, you cannot use this code and Code 154 to accelerate the allowance of your expenses. Example. Corporation DEF incurred $100,000 of specified research expenses in 2023. Corporation DEF reported $10,000 of amortized expenses in 2023. Corporation DEF will use Code 641 to report $100,000 allowable for Indiana purposes and use Code 154 to add back the $10,000 claimed for federal purposes. For 2024-2028, Corporation DEF will continue to use Code 154 to report timing differences. Line 13. Total Add-Backs: Add lines 4 through line 12D. Line 14. Subtotal Income: Add line 3 and line 13. Deductions from Income Line 15. Subtract net income (foreign gross receipts less the foreign deductions) derived from sources outside the United States as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and included in federal taxable income. Include all repatriated dividend income listed on the IRC 965 Transition Tax Statement and included in Line 1 of the FIT-20 on this line. Filers should keep detailed records as DOR can ask for this information at a later date. If you have a net foreign loss, enter that amount as a negative number. Page 10 FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 Line 16. Subtract an amount equal to a debt or portion of a debt becoming worthless (IRC Sec. 166). If you have a recovery of an amount included in a bad debt deduction in prior years, reduce the deduction by the amount of the recovery (applicable to taxpayers not defined as a large bank under IRC Section 585(c)(2) or Savings Association under IRC Section 593). If your recoveries are in excess of your current-year bad debt deduction, report the net amount as a negative number. Line 17. Subtract an amount equal to any bad debt reserves included in federal income because of accounting method changes required by IRC Sec. 585(c)(3)(A) or IRC Section 593. Line 18. Total Deductions: Add lines 15 through 17. Line 19. Total Income Prior to Apportionment: Subtract line 18 from line 14. State-chartered credit unions must begin on line 19 by entering “adjusted gross income.” For state-chartered credit unions, “adjusted gross income” equals the total transfers to undivided earnings, minus dividends for that taxable year after statutory reserves are set aside under IC 28-7-1-24. In other words, “adjusted gross income” can be defined as net transfers to undivided earnings. No other deductions are permitted. The above definition also applies to a nonresident credit union doing business in Indiana. Investment companies, defined under IC 6-5.5-1-2(d), must begin on line 19 by reporting federal taxable income computed according to the Internal Revenue Code plus interest on state and local obligations acquired by the taxpayer after Dec. 31, 2011, and excluded from federal gross income under IRC section 103 , before any net operating loss deduction. An investment company must also complete line 12 of FIT-20 Schedule E-U. Line 20. Total Income Prior to Apportionment: Enter the amount carried from line 19. Line 21. Apportionment Percentage: (See instructions for Schedule E-U.) This line should be used by all taxpayers and unitary groups. Enter the amount from line 15 of Schedule E-U. Line 22. Apportioned Adjusted Gross Income for Indiana: Multiply line 20, total income subject to apportionment, by line 21, apportionment percentage from Schedule E-U. Line 23. Indiana Net Capital Loss Adjustment: Enter your Indiana net capital loss carryover (see the sample worksheet on page 11). Line 23 is limited to the amount on line 22. Also, line 9 must be completed to add back an amount equal to the federal net capital loss deduction. Note. Excess capital losses may be carried forward for five years following the loss year; however, there is no provision for the carryback of a capital loss incurred under the FIT. Net Capital Loss Adjustment for FIT-20 Line 23 – Sample Worksheet Enclose with the return the worksheet that shows the following calculations. Use this format to determine the available amount of an Indiana net capital loss and the remainder to carry forward. Add sheets to include all members of a unitary group. See the worksheet on page 12. Computation of Indiana Net Capital Loss for Carryforward For a taxpayer who is not filing a combined return, the taxpayer’s taxable income consists of an adjustment for net capital losses computed under the Internal Revenue Code and derived from Indiana. Capital losses and capital gains derived from Indiana are determined by the apportionment percentage applicable to each taxable year. Example – Loss Year Ending 12-31-2022: 1. Net capital loss from federal Schedule D without IRC Section 1212 carryover...............................................................................-$80,000 2. FIT-20 Indiana apportioned income percentage for the taxable year of the capital loss ...................................................................... 50% 3. Indiana net capital loss for carry forward (limited to succeeding five years) ..................................................................................-$40,000 Additional provisions required for a combined return. Any net capital loss or net operating loss attributable to Indiana in the combined return must be prorated between each member of the unitary group having nexus in Indiana. Each member must calculate its share of the capital loss and amount available to be applied for the combined return. The net capital loss attributable to Indiana in the combined return is prorated between each taxpayer member of the unitary group by the quotient of: a. The Indiana receipts of those taxpayer members attributable to Indiana, divided by; b. The total receipts of all taxpayer members to Indiana. Example: Indiana receipts attributable to: Member’s ratio of Indiana receipts: Prorated share of Indiana net capital loss: Member A $6,000,000 25% -$10,000 Member B $9,600,000 40% -$16,000 Member C $8,400,000 35% -$14,000 Combined Indiana Total $24,000,000 100% Carry forward these amounts separately on the combined return. Use this portion of the worksheet as many times as needed to determine the deductible net capital loss applied against any Indiana net capital gains during the five-year carryforward period following the year of a loss. Computation of Net Capital Loss Adjustment The net capital loss available to be applied, if any, and carried forward to any subsequent year shall be limited to the capital gains for the subsequent year of each taxpayer member. The amount of net capital gains is determined by the same receipts formula used in computing the amount of loss derived from Indiana and is prorated between members of a unitary group (IC 6-5.5-2-1). Example – Gain Year Ending 12-31-2023: 4. Net capital gain from federal Schedule D (recomputed without any IRC Section 1212 unused capital loss carryover)............. $50,000 5. FIT-20 Indiana apportioned income percentage for the taxable year...................................................................................................... 60% 6. Available Indiana net capital gain for the year...................................................................................................................................... $30,000 Example for members of a unitary group filing a combined return having a net capital gain in 2023: Indiana receipts attributable to: Member A Member B Member C $5,000,000 $35,000,000 $10,000,000 Member’s ratio of Indiana receipts: 10% 70% 20% Prorated share of Indiana net capital loss: -$3,000 -$21,000 -$6,000 Combined Indiana Total $50,000,000 100% Application of Indiana Net Capital Loss Adjustment Enter the unused net capital loss from loss year (prorated amounts) or remaining amount(s) of each member as reduced during each of the intervening years following the year of loss. The current year adjustment for Indiana is limited to the unused amount of net capital loss, up to the amount of the net capital gains prorated for each member. Member A Member B Member C Amount of Loss Applied to (2023): $3,000 $16,000 $6,000 7. Combined total of Indiana net capital loss adjustment for the tax year.

The gain or loss available is limited to the amount of each taxpayer member’s portion as apportioned to Indiana. For net capital loss carryovers from two or more years, show amounts applied through all carryforward years. Unused net capital loss from loss years occurring since 2018, after application against any net capital gains, may be carried through taxable year 2023. Combined total Indiana net capital gains for each year. Example of 2019 2020 2021 2022 carryover Enter below total Indiana $ $ $ $ net capital loss from Total amount of Indiana net capital loss applied against loss year(s): prorated net capital gains in each year 2023 $30,000 Carryover(s) of unused prorated net capital losses available for 2024 2022 -$40,000 -$25,000 -$15,000 Remaining taxable net capital gains $5,000 2018 -$ 2019 -$ 2020 -$ 2021 -$ Instructions for Schedule A, continued Line 24. Total Adjusted Gross Income: Subtract line 23 from line 22. If subtotal is less than zero, enter 0. Line 25. Indiana Net Operating Loss Deduction: The amount to report on this line is the Indiana portion of the net operating loss, and it cannot exceed the amount reported on line 24. Net operating losses can be carried forward for 15 years. There is no provision for net operating loss carrybacks. Complete and enclose Schedule FIT-20NOL with the return. Line 26. Indiana Adjusted Gross Income: Subtract line 25 from line 24. Line 27. Indiana Financial Institution Tax Due: Multiply the amount on line 26 by the current tax rate. If line 26 is a loss amount, enter zero on this line. Effective for taxable years beginning after Dec. 31, 2022, financial institutions are subject to a FIT under IC 6-5.5 at 4.9%. Line 28. Nonresident Taxpayer Credit (816): To claim this credit, enclose a copy of the domiciliary state’s tax return. Nonresident taxpayers might be able to claim a credit for taxes paid to domiciliary states. To be eligible to claim the credit, the following conditions must be met: (1) the receipt of interest or other income from the loan is attributed to both the domiciliary state and also to Indiana; and (2) the principal amount of the loan is at least $2 million. To determine the amount of tax attributable to the loan transaction, divide the total receipts from qualified loans by the total receipts attributable to Indiana. Multiply that quotient, Page 12 FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 expressed as a percentage, by the total amount of tax due to determine the amount of tax attributable to the loan. This is the amount of credit that may be available. The actual credit is equal to the lesser of the actual taxes paid to the domiciliary state for the loan transaction and the amount due to Indiana on the loan transaction. If the taxpayer’s domiciliary state grants a credit for taxes paid to other states, the credit available for purposes of Indiana’s tax must be reduced by the amount of the credit granted by the taxpayer’s domiciliary state. (See the instructions for completing Schedule FIT-NRTC on page 20.) Nonresident credits are determined for each taxpayer member of a unitary group on an individual basis, notwithstanding that the adjusted gross income is reported on a combined basis for all members of a unitary group. Line 29. Net Financial Institution Tax Due: Subtract the amount on line 28 from the amount on line 27. Line 30. Use Tax Due: Taxpayers are required to report and pay 7% use tax on taxable purchases. Purchases subject to use tax include (but are not limited to) subscriptions to magazines and periodicals as well as property that is purchased exempt from tax and that is later converted to a nonexempt use by the business. To calculate the amount of purchases subject to the use tax, please complete the worksheet on page 13. For more information regarding use tax, visit www.in.gov/dor or call 317-232-2240. Line 31. Subtotal Due: Add line 29 and line 30. Tax Liability Credits — Limited to One Per Project Restriction for Certain Tax Credits – Limited to One Per Project Within a certain group of credits, a taxpayer may not be granted more than one credit for the same project. You can choose the credit to be applied. However, the credit selected cannot be changed nor can the investment be redirected for a different credit in subsequent years. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #59 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib59.pdf for more information. Six credits are included in this group: 1. Alternative fuel vehicle manufacturer credit; 2. Community revitalization enhancement district credit; 3. Enterprise zone investment cost credit (not applicable to FIT-20); 4. Hoosier business investment credit; 5. Industrial recovery credit; and 6. Venture capital investment credit. Order of Credit Application If claiming more than one credit, first use the credits that cannot be carried over and applied against the state FIT in another year. Next, use the credits that can be carried over for a limited number of years and applied against the state FIT. If one or more credits are available, apply the credits in the order that the credits would expire. Finally, use the credits that can be carried over and applied against the state FIT in another year. Example. A taxpayer has a neighborhood assistance credit for which no carryover is available, a school scholarship credit that can be carried forward to 2024, and a community revitalization enhancement district credit with an indefinite carryforward. The taxpayer would apply the credits in the following order until the credit is exhausted or the taxpayer’s liability is reduced to zero, whichever comes first: • Neighborhood assistance credit • School scholarship credit expiring in 2024 • Community revitalization enhancement district credit For more information about Indiana tax credits, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #59 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/ reference/ib59.pdf.

Enter the total amount on line 41. Page 14 FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2023 Contact the Indiana Economic Development Corporation at One North Capitol, Suite 700, Indianapolis, IN 46204, for eligibility requirements. Call 317-232-8800 or visit www.iedc.in.gov for additional information. This credit is for businesses that conduct certain activities designed to foster job retention in Indiana. It is a refundable tax liability credit. Note. Complete Schedule IN-EDGE-R and enclose it with the return, otherwise the credit will be denied. Obtain a PIN from the IEDC. Contact the Indiana Economic Development Corporation at One North Capitol, Suite 700, Indianapolis, IN 46204, for eligibility requirements. Visit www.iedc.in.gov for additional information. Line 45. Total Payments Add lines 40 through 44. Line 46. Balance of Tax Due Subtract line 45 from line 39. Line 47. Penalty for Underpayment Enter the penalty, if any, for underpayment of estimated tax. Complete and enclose Schedule FIT-2220 to determine if the underpayment of estimated tax penalty or an exception to the penalty applies. Note. If a taxpayer’s annual liability exceeds $2,500, filing quarterly estimated payments to remit 25% of the estimated annual tax liability is required. Line 48. Interest If payment is made after the original due date, interest must be included with the payment. Interest is calculated from the original due date of the return until the date of payment. For the current rate of interest charged see Departmental Notice #3 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/dn03.pdf, or call DOR at 317-232-2240. An extension of time to file the return does not grant an extension of time to pay any tax due; therefore, interest must be calculated. Line 49. Late Penalty Enter the computed penalty amount that applies. If a payment is made after the original due date, a penalty that is the greater of $5 or 10% of the remaining tax due must be entered. The penalty for late payment or late filing will not be imposed if all three of the following conditions are met: 1. A valid extension of time to file exists; 2. At least 90% of the tax was paid by the original due date; and 3. The remaining tax and interest due is paid by the extended due date. If the return showing no tax liability (on line 31) is filed late, the penalty for failure to file by the due date will be $10 for each day that the return is past due, up to a maximum of $250. Line 50. Total Due Add lines 46 through 49. If a payment is due, enter the total tax due plus any applicable penalty and interest. Payment can be made electronically via INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal at intime.dor.in.gov, or checks should be made payable to the Indiana Department of Revenue for each Form FIT-20 filed. All payments must be made in U.S. funds. Lines 51, 52, and 53. Total Overpayment If the taxpayer has an overpayment determined by subtracting the amounts on lines 39, 47, and 49 from the amount on line 45, the corporation can elect to have a portion or all of its overpayment credited to following year’s estimated tax account. The portion to be refunded should be entered on line 52, and the portion to be applied to next year’s account should be entered on line 53. The total of line 52 and line 53 must equal the amount on line 51. An election to apply an overpayment to the following year is irrevocable. If your overpayment is reduced due to an error on the return or an adjustment by DOR, the amount to be refunded will be corrected before any changes are made to the estimated account for next year. A refund may be set off and applied to other liabilities under IC 6-8.1-9-2(a) and 6-8.1-9.5 before it is credited to the following year’s estimated tax account. Certification of Signatures and Authorization Section Sign, date, and print the corporation name on the return. If a paid preparer completes the return, authorize DOR to discuss the tax return with the preparer by checking the authorization box above the line for the name of the personal representative. Personal Representative Information Typically, DOR contacts the corporation if there are any questions or concerns about the tax return. If DOR is authorized to discuss the tax return with someone else (e.g., the person who prepared it or a designated person), complete this area. First, check the “Yes” box that follows the sentence “I authorize the Department to discuss my tax return with my personal representative.” Next, enter: • The name of the individual designated as the corporation’s personal representative; and • The individual’s email address. If this area is completed, DOR is authorized to contact the personal representative, instead of the corporation, about this tax return. After the return is filed, DOR will communicate primarily with the designated personal representative on matters concerning the return. Note. The authorization for DOR to be in contact with a personal representative can be revoked at any time. To do so, submit a signed statement to DOR. The statement must include a name, Federal Employer Identi

FIT-20 Booklet is an Indiana Corporate Income Tax form. Like the Federal Form 1040, states each provide a core tax return form on which most high-level income and tax calculations are performed. While some taxpayers with simple returns can complete their entire tax return on this single form, in most cases various other additional schedules and forms must be completed, depending on the taxpayer's individual situation, to create a complete income tax return package.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
