Failure to timely file a personal property tax return with the applicable assessor declaring the exemption will result in a $25 penalty. For more information, refer to this link: http://www.in.gov/dlgf/7576.htm. Taxpayers may request up to a thirty (30) day extension of time to file their return. The written request should be sent to the assessor before the filing deadline of May 17, 2021, and should include a reason for the request. The assessor may, at their discretion approve or disapprove the request in writing. Personal property must be assessed in each taxing district where property has a tax situs. Inventory located in the State of Indiana is exempt and is not required to be reported per IC 6-1.1-1-11(b)(3). It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to obtain forms from the assessor and file a timely return. The forms are also available online at the Department’s website: www.in.gov/dlgf. If you hold, possess, or control not-owned personal property on the assessment date, you have a liability for the taxes imposed for that year unless you establish that the property is to be assessed to the owner. This is done by completing a Form 103-N, attaching it to the Form 102, and filing it with the assessor. A taxpayer declaring the exemption on page one of this form may, as deemed necessary by the applicable assessor, need to file Form 103-O or Form 103-N, as applicable, to verify that the individual is the appropriate taxpayer to claim the exemption. NOTE: Failure to properly disclose lease information may result in a double assessment. (IC 6-1.1-2-4(a)) Taxpayers who discover an error was made on their original timely filed personal property tax return have the right to file an amended return. The amended return must be filed within twelve (12) months of the due date or the extended due date (if up to a thirty (30) day extension was granted) of their original return. The deadline to amend this return, if no extension has been granted, is May 16, 2022. Frequently Asked Questions: 1. Will my local assessor fill this form out for me? Indiana’s personal property tax system is a self-assessment system. An assessor can offer assistance with the filing; however, an authorized person representing the farming operation must sign the form under penalties of perjury that it is true and correct so the responsibility of filing an accurate return remains with the taxpayer. 2. I would like to report all of my equipment in the township where I reside even though it is actually located in different townships within the county. Can I do this? No, a personal property return must be filed in each taxing district where the property has tax situs. 3. Why is the grain leg assessed as personal property and the grain bin that it is attached to assessed as real property? The use of the asset is the key. The grain bin, used for storage, is classified in 50 IAC 4.2-4-10 as real property while the legs and other loading/unloading systems are classified as part of the machinery and equipment which is assessed as personal property. The same theory applies to automated feeding and watering systems in livestock or poultry buildings since their use pertains to the operation and not the structure of the building. 4. Why do I have to report my fully depreciated equipment? Depreciation expenses are claimed for income tax purposes while assets are assessed for property tax purposes until the asset has been retired from use. 5. How can I find contact information for the various county offices (assessor, auditor, or treasurer) throughout the State of Indiana, locate forms or learn more about Indiana’s personal property tax system?
