Any reference to the IRC and subsequent regulations means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and in effect on January 1, 2023. For a complete summary of new legislation regarding taxation, please see the Synopsis of 2023 Legislation Affecting the Indiana Department of Revenue at www.in.gov/dor/files/2023-legislative-synopsis.pdf. • • A new deduction (640) is available to allow the deduction of grants and forgiven indebtedness related to broadband grants. See page 17 for more information. A new deduction (641) is available to permit a current-year deduction for specified research and experimental expenses otherwise required to be amortized for federal tax purposes. See page 17 for more information. General Information Electronic Filing for Certain Corporations For all taxable years ending after December 31, 2022, a corporation with more than $1,000,000 in gross income for federal purposes is required to file its IT-20 electronically. In addition, if the corporation files an amended return, the corporation must file the amended return electronically if its federal gross income is greater than $1,000,000. Annual Public Hearing In accordance with the Indiana Taxpayer Bill of Rights, the Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) will conduct an annual public hearing in Indianapolis in June of 2024. Event details will be listed at www.in.gov/dor/news-media-and-publications/dor-publicevents/annual-public-hearings. Please come and share feedback or comments about how DOR can better administer Indiana tax laws. If not able to attend, please submit feedback or comments in writing to: Indiana Department of Revenue, Commissioner’s Office MS #101, 100 N. Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Introduction to Corporate Taxation Add-Backs Indiana has two kinds of corporate income tax: 1. A corporation doing business in Indiana is subject to the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) tax. Any corporation earning income from Indiana sources is also subject to the AGI tax. 2. Any entity transacting the business of a financial institution in Indiana is subject to a Financial Institutions franchise tax (FIT). Taxpayers subject to the FIT are exempt from the AGI tax. • Indiana recognizes a variety of business organizations. How the business is organized determines the type of tax return(s) it must file. It is important to know the tax-related requirements before establishing operations in Indiana. • A new add-back (153) has been added for certain modifications related to net operating losses permitted as a result of excess inclusion income. See page 16 for more information. A new add-back (154) is available for specified research and experimental expenses required to be amortized for federal income tax purposes. See page 16 for more information. General Filing Requirements Credits • A new credit (874) is available for qualified investments at a mine reclamation site. See page 32 for more information Deductions • A new deduction (639) is available to allow the deduction for the portion of small employer health insurance premiums that is disallowed for federal purposes as a result of claiming the credit under IRC section 45R. See page 17 for more information. Page 4 IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 All types of corporations, business corporations, professional corporations, C corporations, and S corporations have essentially the same filing requirements despite having different tax responsibilities. Any corporation doing business and having gross income in Indiana must file a corporate income tax return. This must be done regardless of the presence of taxable income (unless exempt under IRC section 501). Taxable Period Indiana tax law requires all corporations to adopt the corporation’s federal tax year for reporting income to Indiana. A federal entity election or default classification is recognized for state AGI tax. Doing Business in Indiana For Indiana AGI tax purposes, the term doing business generally means the operation of any business enterprise or activity in Indiana, including but not limited to the following: • Maintenance of an office, a warehouse, a construction site, or another place of business in Indiana; • Maintenance of an inventory of merchandise or material for sale, distribution, or manufacture; • Sale or distribution of merchandise to customers in Indiana directly from company-owned or -operated vehicles when the title of merchandise is transferred from the seller or distributor to the customer at the time of sale or distribution; • Rendering of a service to customers in Indiana; • Ownership, rental, or operation of business or property (real or personal) in Indiana; • Acceptance of orders in Indiana with no right of approval or rejection in another state; • Interstate transportation; or • Maintenance of a public utility. Deriving Income from Indiana Sources If a corporation has business income both within and outside Indiana, the entity must apportion its income using the singlefactor receipts formula under IC 6-3-2-2. Business income is all income that is apportionable to Indiana under the constitution of the United States. Nonbusiness income is all income other than business income. Nonbusiness income is specifically allocated under IC 6-3-2-2(g) through (k). Business Entities (in General) Which Indiana Income Tax Form(s) to File? The type of form filed varies depending on how the corporation is organized and the type of income it earns. An organization filing a federal return and doing business in Indiana must also file the comparable Indiana return. The name of the corporation (which must include the word Corporation, Company, Incorporated, Limited, or an abbreviation thereof) must be included on all returns. When filing Indiana corporate forms, use the federal employer identification number (FEIN) to identify the return. The IRS assigns this number to business entities at www.irs.gov/ businesses/small-businesses-self-employed. Our homepage provides access to forms, information bulletins and directives, tax publications, email, and various filing options. Visit www.in.gov/dor. Unless otherwise specified, state tax returns are due on the 15th day of the 5th month following the close of the corporation’s taxable year. Indiana recognizes federal extensions of time to file. Types of Corporate Entities and Returns to File Nonprofit entities can be organized formally or informally. Contact the Internal Revenue Service for the federal requirements to obtain nonprofit (commonly known as 501(c)(3)) status. The IRS publishes an information booklet titled Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization, Publication 557. Contact: Internal Revenue Service: (800) 829-1040 Publications: (800) 829-3676 www.irs.gov To register for nonprofit status with the state, submit a Nonprofit Organization Application for Sales Tax Exemption (NP-20A, which may be accessed here: www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/ nonprofit-tax-forms). Contact: Indiana Department of Revenue Tax Administration P.O. Box 6197 Indianapolis, IN 46207-6197 317-232-0129 For-Profit Corporations (Domestic and Foreign) A corporation can be formed for profit or nonprofit purposes. Forming a corporation creates a specific legal entity. An organization incorporated in this state (a domestic corporation) must have Articles of Incorporation 4159 on file with the Corporations Division of the Indiana Secretary of State. An organization incorporated in another state or with a foreign government must have an Application for Certificate of Authority 38784 on file with the Indiana Secretary of State. This allows a foreign (outside Indiana) corporation to do business in Indiana. For Indiana tax purposes, a corporation’s tax filing includes other less formal organizations and unincorporated entities, such as general partnerships and nonprofit associations. To determine which return to file, use the following list. File the specified state form(s) to report the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits. Note A. A limited liability company (LLC) may be classified for federal income tax purposes as a partnership, a corporation, or an entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner by applying the rules in federal regulation section 26 CFR 301.7701-3. An LLC has members rather than shareholders. If an entity with more than one member was formed as an LLC, it generally is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. It therefore files Federal Form 1065 and Indiana Form IT-65. Single-member LLC reporting defaults to disregarding the LLC as an entity separate from its sole member. The income and expenses of the LLC are included in the return filed by the member. Either a single-member LLC or a multi-member LLC may elect to report its income and deductions as a corporate entity instead. The LLC can file a Form 1120 or Form 1120-A only if it has filed federal Form 8832, Entity Classification Election, to be treated as a corporation. If this election is made for federal tax purposes, the LLC will file Form 1120 and Indiana’s return, Form IT-20. An LLC can be formed under state law by filing Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State. An LLC based outside Page 5 IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 of Indiana must file an Application for Certificate of Authority of a Foreign Limited Liability Company to do business in Indiana, similar to what foreign corporations file. If the LLC qualifies under IRS guidelines to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation, it must file Form IT-20. Note B. A limited liability partnership (LLP) can be classified for federal income tax purposes as a partnership, a corporation, or an entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner by applying the rules in federal regulation section 26 CFR 301.77013. The income of an LLP is taxed in the same way as a general partnership’s income is taxed. An LLP can be formed under state law by filing Articles of Registration of a Limited Liability Partnership with the Secretary of State. An LLP based outside of Indiana must file a Certificate of Authority or Notice of Foreign Limited Liability Partnership to do business in Indiana, similar to what foreign corporations file. Note C. A limited partnership (LP) must have at least one general partner and one limited partner. The income is generally taxed in the same manner as a general partnership’s income. An LP can be classified for federal income tax purposes as a partnership, a corporation, or an entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner by applying the rules in federal regulation section 26 CFR 301.7701-3. The LP can be formed under state law by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State. An LP based outside of Indiana must file a Certificate of Authority or Application of Registration to do business in Indiana, similar to what foreign corporations file. General Filing Requirements for Form IT-20 What to Enclose with a State Corporate Return To complete a state income tax return, enclose copies of pages 1 through 5 of the completed U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return (Form 1120) or the comparable federal return being filed. The federal Schedule M-3 and any confirmation of an extension of time to file the return must also be included. Electronic Filing Requirements If a corporation has more than $1,000,000 in gross income for the taxable year, the corporation generally is required to file the return (or, if applicable, an amended return) through Modernized e-File (MeF) using certified software. Failure to comply could result in a penalty of 10% of the tax due. Certain exceptions to the electronic filing requirement apply; see Income Tax Information Bulletin #12 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib12.pdf for more information on exceptions. Adjusted Gross Income Tax The Indiana AGIT is generally calculated using federal taxable income from federal Form 1120 or a comparable return and making Indiana modifications as required by IC 6-3-1-3.5(b). If there is income from sources both within and outside Indiana, use the apportionment and allocation formula on Form IT-20 Schedule E to determine the AGI that’s attributed to Indiana. The corporate AGI tax rate is 4.9%. Page 6 IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 Extensions for Filing Return DOR accepts the federal extension of time application (Form 7004) or the federal electronic extension. If already approved for a federal extension of time application (Form 7004) or the federal electronic extension, it is not necessary to contact DOR before filing the annual return. Returns postmarked within one month after the last date indicated on the federal extension are considered timely filed. If a corporation 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 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, if 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 and Form IT-6 to make an extension payment for the taxable year. See Income Tax Information Bulletin #15 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib15.pdf for more details. 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. Each October DOR establishes the interest rate for the next calendar year. See Departmental Notice #3 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/dn03.pdf for interest rates. If a valid extension of time or a federal extension to file is approved, please check the box for line V on the front of the return. If applicable, enclose a copy of the federal extension of time with the state return. Accounting Methods and Taxable Year Use the same method of accounting for the AGIT that was used for federal income tax purposes. The taxable year for the AGIT must also be the same as the accounting period used for federal income tax purposes. If the standard apportionment provisions do not fairly reflect Indiana income, DOR must be petitioned for permission to use an alternative method. For an overview of corporate taxation, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #12 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib12.pdf. Consolidated Reporting Under the Adjusted Gross Income Tax Act, affiliated corporations have the privilege of electing to file a consolidated return. This is provided in IRC Section 1502 for those affiliates as defined in IRC Section 1504. The Indiana consolidated return must include any member of the affiliated group under IRC Section 1504 having income or loss attributable to Indiana during the year. Type of Entity Federal Form Filed or Requirement Federal 1120 Indiana Form IT-20 Due Date Miscellaneous Information 15th day of the 5th month following close of the taxable year FIT-20 15th day of the 5th month following close of the taxable year If 80% or more of the taxpayer’s gross income comes from extending credit, servicing loans, or a credit card operation, the FIT applies (see 45 IAC 17-2-4).

It does this by figuring its taxable income as a REIT on federal Form 1120-REIT. An entity filing as a REIT files Form IT-20 or Form FIT-20 to report business activity income in Indiana. 15th day of the 4th month following close of the taxable year A corporation, a partnership, a trust, or an entity that meets certain conditions under IRC Section 860D can elect to be treated as a real estate investment conduit (REMIC) for the tax year. It does this by figuring its taxable income as an REMIC on federal Form 1066. 15th day of the 5th month following close of the taxable year A regulated financial corporation, subsidiary of a holding company, or regulated financial corporation can elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC). It does this by filing Form 1120-RIC.

Regulated Investment Company Federal 1120-RIC IT-20 Page 8 If nonprofit is filing an 1120-POL, report such income on IT-20NP, not the IT-20. A publicly traded partnership (PTP) that is treated as a partnership and not as a corporation for federal income tax purposes must file on Form IT-65. A PTP that is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7704 must file on Form IT-20.

The corporation must submit IRS Form 2553 to the IRS for recognition of its status. This is a separate legal and taxable entity. It can have no more than 100 owners. An S corporation is exempt from federal income tax except on certain capital gains and passive income. Any income taxed at the corporate level is subject to the Indiana corporate AGIT. IT-20NP 15th day of the 5th month following close of the taxable year A nonprofit organization or corporation must file Form NP-20R and, if reporting unrelated business income, IT-20NP. After nonprofit status is granted, the organization must file Form NP-20R every five years (see IC 6-2.5-5-25(d) for special rules applicable for 2024-2027)) to maintain state recognition of its sales tax exemption. If the organization has unrelated business income over $1,000 during the tax year, it must also file Form IT20NP. For information about nonprofit filing requirements, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #17, available at www.in.gov/dor/files/ reference/ib17.pdf. DOR recognizes the exempt status determined by the IRS. An organization registered as a nonprofit is subject to the AGIT unless the income is specifically exempt from taxation under the Adjusted Gross Income Tax Act (IC 6-3-2-2.8 and 6-3-2-3.1). The nonprofit organization is subject to both federal and state tax on income derived from an unrelated trade or business, as defined in IRC Section 513. Federal 990 or 990T NP-20R May 15 every five years after the formation For nonprofits that filed an NP-20 in 2023, see IC 6-2.5-5-25(d) for the due date of the first NP-20R filing. Federal 1065 IT-65 15th day of the 4th month following close Nonprofit Organization Federal 990 or 990T Religious or Apostolic Miscellaneous Information IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 Page 9 To file a consolidated return for AGIT purposes, the parent corporation must own at least 80% of each subsidiary’s voting stock and own at least 80% of the total value of the stock, either directly or through a chain of includible corporations. The affiliated group may not include any corporation that does not have taxable income or loss from Indiana sources. To elect to file a consolidated return for Indiana purposes, the return must be filed by the due date or the extended due date. An election to file a consolidated return cannot be done on a retroactive basis. Notify DOR by completing Schedule 8-D, Schedule of Indiana Affiliated Group Members. Indicate the affiliated corporations included in the consolidated return. After an affiliated group elects to file consolidated for Indiana purposes, it must continue to do so through all subsequent years of filing. In addition, a worksheet must accompany the annual return supporting each of the participating affiliates’ information that reconciles to the reported consolidated AGI or loss. Schedule 8-D is available at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/2023corporatepartnership-income-tax-forms. If a consolidated group has a change in membership (i.e., a new corporation joins or a corporation leaves), the pre-change consolidated status of the group will continue absent a request to change filing status. If a company is acquired by or merges with another corporation, the consolidated status of the acquiring corporation controls absent a request to change filing status. If the group wants to revoke the election in a subsequent tax year, it must make a request to DOR demonstrating good cause for the request and receive written permission from DOR prior to filing the separate returns. The group must make its request to discontinue filing consolidated at least 90 days before the return’s due date, or the request will be denied. Unitary (Combined) Filing Status A taxpayer must petition DOR for permission to file a combined income tax return for a unitary group. The petition must be filed no later than 30 days after the end of the tax year for which the entity is seeking permission. Permission will be granted if combined reporting will more fairly reflect the unitary group’s Indiana source income. However, combined reporting is limited to the “water’s-edge” of the United States unless specifically requested and approved otherwise. The petition may be submitted through the DOR website at www. in.gov/dor/legal-resources/requesting-policy-guidance or it may be mailed to: Indiana Department of Revenue Tax Policy Division 100 N. Senate Avenue, N 248 MS 102 Indianapolis, IN 46204 Caution. After permission has been granted to file on a combined basis, the taxpayer must continue to file returns on this basis until DOR grants permission to use an alternative method. The taxpayer filing the combined return must petition DOR within 30 days after the end of the tax year for permission to stop filing a combined return. Page 10 IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 Form IT-20RECAP, Reconciliation of Federal Taxable Income, must be completed detailing the following: 1. The federal taxable income; 2. The intercompany eliminations; and 3. The members’ adjusted gross income tax. A list of the corporations that are members of the unitary group filing for the reporting unitary filer must be enclosed with the return, noting each entity’s federal employer identification number. The computation of apportionment factor for the combined group’s members detailing the apportionment information for each entity must also be included. Entities that have a sales factor numerator greater than zero are taxable members. Each taxable member will be assigned a share of business income according to its relative share (its percentage share without considering any nontaxable member’s share) of the unitary group’s Indiana (adjusted) sales factors. Additional information concerning unitary requirements is available from the Tax Policy Division at [email protected] or Tax Policy Directive #6 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/poldir06.pdf. Quarterly Estimated Payments A corporation with estimated adjusted gross income tax (AGIT) liability exceeding $2,500 for a taxable year must make quarterly estimated tax payments. The quarterly estimated tax payments must be submitted through INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal at intime.dor.in.gov, by electronic funds transfer (EFT), or by submitting an appropriate Indiana voucher along with Form IT-6, depending on the amount due. The quarterly due dates for estimated payments are the 20th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of the taxpayer’s tax period, regardless of whether filing on a calendar year, fiscal year, or short year basis. Taxpayers should use the reporting taxpayer’s federal identification number (FEIN) when remitting payments on behalf of a group in a consolidated or combined return. Visit INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal, at intime.dor.in.gov to make an estimated tax payment or view payment history. Claim credit for all estimated payments on lines 34 through 36 of Form IT-20. Refunds reflected on the annual corporate return from overpayments of estimated payments may be applied to the next taxable year’s estimated liability or refunded directly to the taxpayer. Apply the overpayments to the next year’s estimated liability by entering the refund amount to be credited to the next year’s estimated payments on line 48 of Form IT-20. An election to apply an overpayment to the following year is irrevocable. If the 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 offset 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. The quarterly estimated payment must be equal to the lesser of: • 25% of the AGIT liability for the taxable year; or • The annualized income installment calculated in the manner provided by IRC Section 6655(e) as applied to the corporation’s liability for AGIT. Penalty for Underpayment of Estimated Tax Those required to pay estimated tax are subject to a 10% underpayment penalty if estimated quarterly payments are not filed or are not paid in full. The required estimate should exceed: • The annualized income installment calculated in the manner provided by IRC Section 6655(e) as applied to the liability; or • 25% of the final tax liability for the prior taxable year. If either of these conditions are met, no underpayment of estimated tax penalty will be assessed for the estimated period. If taxes were underpaid for any quarter, use Schedule IT-2220 to show an exception to the penalty. If none of the exceptions are met, include payment of the computed penalty with the return. The underpayment penalty is the difference between the amount paid for each quarter and 25% of the final income tax for the current tax year. Special rules may apply to short taxable year or first time filers. See the instructions for completing Schedule IT2220, Penalty for the Underpayment of Corporate Income Tax. Electronic Funds Transfer Requirements If the required corporate quarterly estimated payment determined by DOR exceeds $5,000, the corporation is required to submit the payment by electronic funds transfer. DOR prefers this be completed through the e-services portal, INTIME. 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. If DOR notifies a corporation that it must remit by EFT, the corporation must begin remitting tax payments via EFT by the date/tax period specified by DOR. DOR also assesses a penalty of $35 on any payment on which it cannot obtain payment. Amended Returns What form should be filed to amend a return? For tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2019, a taxpayer should file Form IT-20X to amend a previously filed corporate income tax return. This form is available at www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/indiana-stateprior-year-tax-forms/2019-corporatepartnership-income-taxforms. Taxpayers should follow the instructions included with Form IT-20X. A taxpayer should file Form IT-20X along with the completed form IT-20 and schedules as amended to amend a previously filed corporate income tax return. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, a taxpayer should file Form IT-20 for the tax year being amended. For periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, a taxpayer should not use Form IT-20X to file an amended return. Completing the amended return. To amend a previously filed Indiana corporate income tax return, Form IT-20 must be completed with one of the boxes checked at the top of Form IT-20. Check the first box if the return is being amended for any reason other than a federal audit. Check the second box if amending the return due to a federal audit. Complete Form IT-20 with the amended figures. Taxpayers should refer to the instructions for the corporation income tax return, and related schedules, of the tax year being amended. Please enclose a concise explanation of the change(s) along with corrected schedules and any other documentation. Payment of any balance due must accompany the amended return. Indiana Code (IC) 6-3-4-6 requires taxpayers to notify DOR of any changes (federal adjustment, RAR, etc.) made to a federal income tax return within 180 days of such change. Federal waivers should be enclosed, if applicable. Please attach a copy of the federal RAR and/or federal audit report to the amended return. IC 6-8.1-9-1 entitles a taxpayer to claim a refund because of a reduction in tax due to a federal modification. A taxpayer can file a claim for refund within 180 days from the date of notice of the final modification by the IRS. Therefore, an overpayment due to a change of a federal income tax liability must be claimed within the latest of: the three-year period from the due date of the return, the date of payment, or within six months of the taxpayer’s notification of the final modification by the IRS. If the taxpayer and DOR agree to an extension of the statute of limitations for an assessment, the period for filing a claim for refund is also extended. Credits and payments. If a change is made to any of the payments and/or credits reported on the original return, please attach any schedules, statements or cancelled checks that support such change. A tax payment made with the original return or tax refund received from filing the original return (entered as a negative amount) should be included on Line 37 Other payments, credits plus any amounts included on this line when the original return was filed. Note that an overpayment carried to the following year’s estimated tax account on the originally filed return should be treated as a refund and entered on Line 37. Once the overpayment is carried forward, it cannot be reversed. A statement should be attached with an explanation of the amount included on Line 37. Remittance due or refund. If the amount of tax due (Line 33) is greater than the payments and credits (Line 40), enter the balance of tax due on Line 41. If the amended return is submitted after the due date of the original return, including valid extensions, a 10% penalty is due on the balance of tax due or $5, whichever is greater. Note. A $10 per day penalty (maximum $250) may apply to zero tax liability returns delinquently filed. If a tax payment is made after the original return due date, the payment must include interest. Interest is calculated from the original return due date until the date the payment is made. For current interest rates see Departmental Notice #3 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/dn03.pdf. If the amount of tax due (Line 33) is less than the payments and credits (Line 40), enter the overpayment on Line 46. If the overpayment is to be refunded, enter the overpayment amount on Line 47. If the overpayment is to be carried forward to the next following year’s estimated tax account, enter the amount on Line 48. Interest may or may not be due on the overpayment. Please refer to General Tax Information Bulletin 101, available at www. in.gov/dor/files/reference/gb101.pdf. The statute of limitations for refund claims is 3 years from the due date of the original return or 3 years from the date of the overpayment occurred, whichever IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 Page 11 is later. Extensions of time extend the due date of the return. Quarterly payments are considered to be made on the due date of the return filed for a taxable period. Note. An extension of time to file does not extend the time to pay any tax due. Tax due must be paid by the original due date. Interest and penalty are calculated on late payments from the due date of the payment. Note. If the corporation is undergoing a bankruptcy proceeding, mail the amended return to: Indiana Department of Revenue, Bankruptcy Section MS 108, 100 N. Senate Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46204-2253. Mailing Options If you owe tax, please mail the amended return to: Indiana Department of Revenue P.O.

Computation of Adjusted Gross Income Tax Unitary filers should use the combined group’s totals and relative formula percentage for entries on all lines except 18 and 20. Compute the Indiana portion of a net operating loss deduction, if any, on line 20. Base it on the relative formula percentage as applied for the loss year. Important: • Please round all entries to the nearest whole dollar amount. • Please do not use a comma in dollar amounts of four digits or more. For example, instead of entering “3,455” enter “3455.” Income Line 1 - Federal Taxable Income Enter the federal taxable income (as defined under IRC Sections 63, 801, or 832) before any federal net operating loss (NOL) deduction and/or special deductions from Form 1120 (pro forma U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return) for the taxable period. Some organizations can enter federal taxable income after the $100 specific deduction. Political organizations and homeowner associations are allowed a $100 specific deduction. Line 2 - Federal Deduction of Qualifying Dividends Include the federal deductions for foreign derived intangible income and global low taxed intangible income. Use the amount reportable to Indiana if filing as a consolidated group. See line 12 for Indiana’s treatment of any remaining foreign source dividends. Line 3 - Subtotal Federal Taxable Income Before NOL Subtract line 2 from line 1. Modifications to Adjusted Gross Income, Lines 4 - 11 Enter any add-backs and deductions on lines 4 through 10. Enter the name of the add-back/deduction, its 3-digit code, and its amount. Use minus signs to denote negative amounts. Also include the proportionate share of Indiana modifications attributable from a unitary partnership, prior to apportionment. Attach additional sheets if necessary. Adding Back Depreciation Expenses Several of the discontinued add-backs were created by timing differences between federal and Indiana allowable expenses. The following is an example of how to report a difference. 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 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. 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 (using straight-line depreciation), 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 $12,800 catch-up add-back on the corporation’s 2023 state tax return. The following add-backs and deductions should be entered on lines 4 through 10. Conformity Add-Back Before this publication was finalized Indiana had not conformed to any changes to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that may have become law after January 1, 2023. Therefore, the IRC used to figure Indiana income may not wind up being the same as the IRC used to figure federal income. This add-back is specific to these annual current year conformity issues. If uncertainty exists as to whether or not Indiana will adopt some or all of the federal legislation passed after March 31, 2022, that acts to modify federal AGI, you may add-back those items as an “other” add-back. In the event those items are adopted, an amended return should be filed to recoup the add-back(s). Conformity Add-Back – Positive Entry (3-digit code: 120) This add-back is only for current year conformity issues and for modifications enacted by Indiana after publication of these instructions. Conformity issues for preceding tax years must be addressed on the add-back line specific to the item in question. If the state legislature does not conform to federal code changes enacted after January 1, 2023, you may have to amend your return at a later date to reflect any differences between Indiana and federal law. You may wish to periodically check for updates at www.in.gov/dor. Conformity Add-Back – Negative Entry (3-digit code: 147) This add-back generally is based on conformity issues arising from a previous year. However, in rare cases this can arise from conformity issues arising in the current year where the IRC treats an item as taxable or nondeductible that was previously exempt or deductible. This can also arise when a new Indiana-specific modification is enacted retroactively. For more information, see Income Tax Information Bulletin 119 at www.in.gov/dor/files/ ib119.pdf. IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 Page 13 Tax Add-Back (3-digit code: 100) Add back all state taxes based on or measured by income, levied by any state, which were deducted on the federal tax return. Wagering taxes fall within this category to be added back. However, the amount to be added back is being phased out. See the following instructions. • Wagering taxes. The portion of wagering taxes required to be added back as a tax based on or measured by income is being reduced (phased out). For wagering taxes, such as the riverboat wagering tax (IC 4-33-13), supplemental wagering tax (IC 4-33-12), state slot machine wagering tax (IC 4-35-8), sports wagering tax (IC 4-38-10), and similar taxes imposed by other states based on wagering receipts, only a portion of the taxes are required to be added back. The percentage of taxes required to be added back is determined by the first date of the taxpayer’s taxable year, and is determined as follows: 2020 – 75%; 2021 – 62.5%; 2022 – 50%; 2023 – 37.5% 2024 –25.0%; 2025 – 12.5%; 2026 and later – no add back required. For example, Casino X, Inc., deducts $10,000,000 in riverboat wagering taxes in 2023. Instead of Casino X adding back the full $10,000,000, Casino X will add back $3,750,000. Note. Income, losses and/or expenses from other schedules and forms may flow through to federal Schedules C, E and F. K-1 may be included on federal Schedule E, while expenses from federal Form 8829 may be included on federal Schedule C. Make sure to check these schedules and forms for any deduction that needs to be added back. For example, partnership income from federal Schedule K-1 may be included on federal Schedule E, while expenses from federal Form 8829 may be included on federal Schedule C. Make sure to check these schedules and forms for any deduction that needs to be added back. Net Bonus Depreciation Allowance (3-digit code: 104) Add or subtract an amount attributable to bonus depreciation. Do this if it’s in excess of any regular depreciation allowed if the corporation did not elect under IRC Section 168(k) to have it applied to property in the year the property was placed into service. If property is owned, it is possible to have been allowed to take additional first-year special depreciation for qualified property in the current taxable year or an earlier taxable year. If this is the case, add or subtract an amount that makes the AGI equal the amount computed as if no bonus depreciation had been permitted. (The first-year special depreciation for qualified property includes 100% bonus depreciation.) If property subject to a modification under this add-back is sold or disposed of during the taxable year, use this add-back to report the previously disallowed depreciation. Enclose a statement to explain the adjustment being made. Income Tax Information Bulletin #118 at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib118.pdf explains this initial required modification on the allowance of depreciation for state tax purposes. 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. Page 14 IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 Excess IRC Section 179 Deduction (3-digit code: 105) 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. 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. If property subject to a modification under this add-back is sold or disposed of during the taxable year, use this add-back to report the previously disallowed depreciation. 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. 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. Charitable Contributions (3-digit code: 114) Add back all charitable contributions deducted when computing federal net taxable income. Note. Also see the Infrastructure Fund Gift Deduction on page 17. Dividends Paid to Shareholders of a Captive Real Estate Investment Trust (3-digit code: 116) Add back the amount of any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders of a captive real estate investment trust (REIT). A captive REIT is defined as a corporation, a trust, or an association: • That is considered a REIT under Section 856 of the IRC; • That is not regularly traded on an established securities market; • That is not organized in a country that has a tax treaty with the United States Treasury governing the tax treatment of these trusts; and • In which more than 50% of the voting power or shares is owned or controlled by one entity. Foreign Gross-Up (3-digit code: 119) Subtract the amount of foreign gross-up determined by computing the federal foreign tax credit on Form 1118. This should be reflected on federal Schedule C. List this deduction as a positive number on Form IT-20. Note. The federal foreign tax credit is not allowed for Indiana income tax purposes. OOS Municipal Obligation Interest Add-Back (3-digit code: 137) Interest earned from a direct obligation of a state or political subdivision other than Indiana (out of state, or OOS) is taxable by Indiana if the obligation is acquired after Dec. 31, 2011. Interest earned from obligations held or acquired before Jan. 1, 2012, is not subject to Indiana income tax and should not be reported as an add-back. • Intangible expense means the following amounts, to the extent these amounts are allowed as deductions from taxable income under IRC Section 63: expenses; losses; and costs directly for, related to, or in connection with the acquisition, use, maintenance, management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of intangible property. Also included in the term are royalties, patent fees, technical fees, copyright fees, licensing fees, and other substantially similar expenses and costs. • Makes a disclosure means a taxpayer provides the following information about a transaction of a member of the same affiliated group or a foreign corporation involving an intangible expense and any directly related interest expense: the recipient’s name; the state of the recipient’s commercial domicile; the amount paid to the recipient; a copy of federal Form 851 (Affiliation Schedule); and the information needed to determine the taxpayer’s status under the allowed exceptions. • Recipient means a member of the taxpayer’s affiliated group who is paid income that corresponds to an intangible expense or any directly related interest expense. • Unrelated party means a person who is not a member of the same affiliated group. • Valid business purpose means one or more transactions that have sufficient economic substance, other than the avoidance or reduction of taxes that, alone or in combination, constitute the primary motivation for a business activity or change the taxpayer’s economic position in a meaningful way. A meaningful change in the taxpayer’s economic position includes, but is not limited to: ο An increase in market share ο Its entry into new business markets; or ο Its compliance with a regulatory requirement of federal, state, or local government. Note. Interest earned from obligations of Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or Northern Mariana is not included in federal gross income and is exempt under federal law. There is no add-back for interest earned on these obligations. For more information, see Income Tax Information Bulletin #19 available at www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib19.pdf. Federal Gross Repatriated Dividend Add-Back (3-digit code: 138) Add back the amount necessary to make the dividend equal to the gross deemed dividend reportable for federal tax purposes. If you claimed a deduction under IRC section 965(c) for federal tax purposes, the add-back will equal federal Form 965, Part II, Line 17. The total amount included in adjusted gross income will equal the gross amount of dividends reported prior to any deduction under IRC section 965(c). Note. This income after the add-back and after any deduction for Section 78 gross-up related to the deemed dividend is treated as a foreign source dividend. Filers should use Schedule IT-20FSD to calculate the proper deduction for Indiana taxes. If you are filing as a REIT, add back the IRC Section 965(c) deduction using 3-digit code 139. If you have made an IRC Section 965(m) election, Indiana follows the federal treatment for that election. Related Company Intangible Expense Add-Back (3-digit code: 140) Add back the net result from Schedule IT-20PIC Part 1, line 12. A corporation subject to the AGI tax must add to its taxable income any intangible expenses deducted in determining federal taxable income. A corporation answering yes to question U on the front of the return must complete Schedule IT-20PIC. Instructions are attached to the schedule. The following definitions apply to corporations for the purpose of disclosing activities and amounts involving transactions of intangible property to the extent required under IC 6-3-2-20: • Affiliated group has the meaning set forth in IRC Section 1504, except that the ownership percentage is determined using 50% instead of 80%. • Foreign corporation means a corporation that: ο Is organized under the laws of a country other than the United States; and ο Would be a member of the same affiliated group as the taxpayer if the corporation were organized under the laws of the United States. Related Company Interest Expense Add-Back (3-digit code: 141) Add back the net result from Schedule IT-20PIC Part 2, line 12. A corporation subject to the AGI tax must add to its taxable income any directly related interest expenses deducted in determining federal taxable income. A corporation answering yes to question U on the front of the return must complete Schedule IT-20PIC. Instructions are attached to the schedule. • Directly related interest expenses means interest expenses that are either paid to or accrued/incurred as a liability to a recipient if: ο The amounts represent income from making loans; and the recipient originally received the loaned funds from the payment of expenses by the taxpayer, by a member of the same affiliated group, or by a foreign corporation. • Interest expense means an interest expense allowable under IRC Section 163, determined without regard to the limitation under IRC Section 163(j). If interest expenses paid or incurred in the current year are disallowed as a result of IRC Section 163(j), the portion of the interest expenses that constitutes directly related interest expenses are required to be added back in the current year. If an interest expense is disallowed IT-20 Corporate Booklet 2023 Page 15 under IRC Section 163(j) in the current year but allowed in a later year, any portion of that interest expense deducted in the later year is not required to be added back in the later year. See the instructions for the Related Company Intangible Expense for additional definitions apply to corporations for the purpose of disclosing activities and amounts involving transactions of intangible property to the extent required under IC 6-3-2-20. Excess Federal Interest Deduction Modification (3-digit code: 142) IRC Section 163(j) limits the federal interest deduction for most business interest to 30% (50% for 2019 and 2020 in certain cases) of adjusted taxable income plus business interest. However, Indiana decoupled from this provision. Subtract an amount equal to the amount as a deduction for excess business interest under IRC Section 163(j) in the year in which the interest was first paid or accrued. If you are deducting any business interest carried over from a previous year, add the amount of this interest deducted. Federal GILTI Deduction Add-Back (3-digit code: 143) If you received any global intangible low taxed income, add back the 50% deduction claimed under IRC Section 250(a)(1)(B)(i). This amount should be reflected, in whole or in part, on federal Form 1120, Schedule C, Line 22. Do not report a negative amount with this code. GILTI § 78 Deduction Add-Back (3-digit code: 146) Add back any amount of IRC Section 78 income deducted under IRC Section 250(a)(1)(B)(ii). This amount should be reflected in part on federal Form 1120, Schedule C, Line 22. The sum of Code 143 and Code 146 should not be greater than federal Form 1120, Schedule C, Line 22. Do not report a negative amount with this code. Modifications from Excess Inclusion Income (3-digit code: 153) If you: • Have a net operating loss for federal purposes incurred the current taxable year that does not appear in your federal taxable income as a result of reporting excess inclusion income under IRC section 860E; and • Have modifications to your Indiana adjusted gross income that are allowable in determining your Indiana net operating loss, use Code 153 to report the amount of modifications that are allowable in determining your net operating loss. Report the net modifications using the inverse of the signage for the underlying modifications. Example. Corporation A has a $100,000 of excess inclusion income. Corporation A also has a $20,000 Indiana bonus depreciation add-back and a $50,000 net operating loss for federal purposes. Corporation A will report the $20,000 add-back as bonus depreciation and a negative $20,000 using Code 153. The C

IT-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.
