On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21) was
signed into law. At this time, Indiana follows the Internal Revenue
Code as in effect on Jan. 1, 2023. As a result, Indiana currently
does not follow the provisions of P.L. 119-21, and the instructions
in this booklet reflect the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on
Jan. 1, 2023. The instructions may reflect minor inclusions of P.L.
119-21 solely to explain clarifying adjustments.

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.

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 the 80% threshold of gross income derived
from activities that constitute the business of a financial institution
is not met for the taxable year. This form is available online at
www.in.gov/dor/tax-forms/corporate/current-corporatepartnership.

Nexus Rules

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.

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

Apportionment of Adjusted Gross Income

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 I R C 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:
•	 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

•	

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.

Method of Reporting

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.
Petitions may be sent to:
Indiana Department of Revenue
Tax Policy Division
100 N Senate Ave, N248, MS 102
Indianapolis, I N 46204-2253
FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2025

Page 5

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.

Members of a Unitary Group

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.

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).

Due Date

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 22.

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.
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.

FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2025

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.
The return due date is the 15th day of the 5th month after the end
of the tax year.

Extensions for Filing Return

DOR accepts the federal extension of time application (Form
7004) or the federal electronic extension. If the taxpayer has an
extension, 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 I N T I M E, 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, I N 46207-7206
If there is a valid extension of time or a federal electronic
extension to file, check Yes on line K 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, I N T I M E,
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.
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, R A R, 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, Sept. 20, and Dec. 20 of
the taxable year.
If a taxpayer uses a taxable year that does not end on Dec. 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 I N T I M E, DOR’s e-services portal at
intime.dor.in.gov.
If a payment is not submitted electronically via I N T I M E, 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. If you do not receive preprinted forms,
you may use Form FT-ES to remit your estimated payment.
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 I N T I M E,
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
I N T I M E, DOR’s e-services portal at intime.dor.in.gov, or with an
electronic funds transfer (E F T). If DOR is unable to obtain payment
by the E F T, a penalty of $35 will be assessed. Because there is no
minimum amount of payment, DOR encourages all taxpayers not
required to remit by E F T to remit taxes electronically via I N T I M E.
Note. Taxpayers remitting by E F T should not file quarterly FT-QP
coupons. The amounts paid by E F T are reconciled when filing the
annual income tax return.

If DOR notifies a corporation of the requirements to remit by
E F T, the corporation must remit via E F T 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 E F T. Be sure to claim any E F T
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 E F T.

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.

FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2025

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 I R C 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 I R C 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 I R C 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 I R C 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 A G I. 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 I R C 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 A G I. For more information, see
Income Tax Information Bulletin #104 available at
www.in.gov/dor/files/reference/ib104.pdf.

Lines 12 A, B, C, and D. Total Add-Backs

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.
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. 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 2010. Since 2010, 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 2013 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 Jan. 2010 at a
purchase price of $120,000. This normally would have a 25-year
recovery period, but I R C Section 168 allows for a 15-year recovery
period. Tax year 2013 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 2025 (the 15th year of depreciation),
ABC Company will report a negative $9,600 catch-up add-back
on the 2025 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.
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 I R C 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.

FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2025

Page 9

Note. If you are claiming a full federal deduction for domestic research
expenses for 2025, do not enter an add-back using Code 154 for
those expenses. If you are electing to claim a full federal deduction for
domestic research expenses for 2022 through 2024 and amend your
2022 through 2024 federal income tax return, amend your Indiana
income tax return to reverse any reported Code 154 add-backs
based on those expenses and do not claim any further modifications
after 2024. For other situations related to research and experimental
expenses for 2022 through 2025, this will not be determined until the
2026 Indiana General Assembly session. If any changes are enacted,
the department will provide guidance after any changes are enacted.
Example. Corporation D E F incurred $100,000 of specified
research expenses in 2025. Corporation D E F reported $10,000
of amortized expenses in 2025. Corporation D E F 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
2026 through 2030, Corporation D E F will continue to use Code
154 to report timing differences.
Discharge of Debt Reduction of Net Operating Losses
(3-digit code: 155)
If you have a net operating loss carryforward that is required to
be reduced as a result of discharges of debt excluded from federal
gross income and reported on Schedule N O L-MOD, list an
amount necessary to use up any N O L carryforwards.
To determine this amount, first complete the return as normal.
Then, determine how much net operating loss carryforwards are
required to be used as a result of debt discharge. The amount to
be reported is the amount necessary to make Line 24 equal to the
sum of any Indiana net operating losses allowed for the current
year plus any Indiana net operating losses required to be reduced
due to debt discharges. Please complete Schedule N O L-MOD
before entering an amount for Code 155.
For this modification, if you are filing as a combined group, you
will need to determine the discharge applicable to each entity as
if it is positive income. See the instructions for applying loss-year
carryforwards applied against A G I on page 24.
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 I R C 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 I R C Section 45R; and
•	 Would have been permitted a deduction for those premiums
except for the disallowance under I R C 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.
Page 10

FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2025

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 I R C 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 I R C Section 280C(c).
Note. If you are claiming a full federal deduction for domestic
research expenses for 2025, do not enter a Code 641 deduction
for those expenses. If you are electing to claim a full federal
deduction for domestic research expenses for 2022 through 2024
and amend your 2022 through 2024 federal income tax return,
amend your Indiana income tax return to reverse any Code 641
deduction based on those expenses and do not claim any further
modifications after 2024. For other situations related to research
and experimental expenses for 2022 through 2025, this will not
be determined until the 2026 Indiana General Assembly session.
If any changes are enacted, the department will provide guidance
after any changes are enacted.
Example. Corporation D E F incurred $100,000 of specified
research expenses in 2025. Corporation D E F reported $10,000 of
amortized expenses in 2025. Corporation D E F 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
2026 through 2030, Corporation D E F 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 I R C 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.
Line 16. Subtract an amount equal to a debt or portion of a debt
becoming worthless (I R C Section 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 I R C Section 585(c)(2)
or Savings Association under I R C 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 I R C Section 585(c)(3)(A) or I R C 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 I R C 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 12-31-2024:
1.	 Net capital loss from federal Schedule D without I R C 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.

FIT-20 Financial Institution Booklet 2025

Page 11

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 12-31-2025:
4.	 Net capital gain from federal Schedule D (recomputed without any I R C 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 2025:
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%

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

tax and that is later converted to a nonexempt use by the business.

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-20N O L with the return. If you have debt discharges
that reduce your Indiana net operating loss carryforwards, include

Effective July 1, 2025, use tax also applies to the purchase price
of services and items other than tangible personal property that
are subject to Indiana sales tax but on which sales tax was not
paid in whole or in part. To calculate the amount of purchases
subject to use tax, multiply the total purchase price of all taxable
purchases by 7%. If you paid sales or use tax to another state on
the purchase, subtract the sales or use tax paid to the other state
or 7% of the purchase price, whichever is less. Enter the use tax
amount on line 30 of the FIT-20. To report any other unpaid
taxes, such as county innkeeper’s tax or food and beverage tax,
please use form ST-115.

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.

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,
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 22.)
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 – Sales/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

Tax Liability Credits — Limited to One Per Project

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 2026, 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 2026
•	 Community revitalization enhancement district credit
