554+8 of money distributed to an entity under IC 4-33-12-6 or IC 4-33-12-8
555+9 during the preceding state fiscal year was less than the entity's base

576+30 the town's population bears to the total population of the county.

645+13 (b)(2)(B), (b)(3)(B), may be used at the discretion of the political

1586+22 or commodities listed in IC 6-2.5-4-5(b) IC 6-2.5-4-5 that a person's
1587+23 exemption certificate has expired or has been revoked, the power

1592+28 been revoked not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the
1593+29 department's notice. An exemption certificate issued by the department
1594+30 to a person who is exempt from the state gross retail tax under
1595+31 IC 6-2.5-4-5 remains valid for that person regardless of any subsequent
1596+32 one (1) for one (1) meter number changes with respect to that person
1597+33 that are required, made, or initiated by a power subsidiary or a person
1598+34 selling the services or commodities listed in IC 6-2.5-4-5(b),

1603+39 meter number changes made during the immediately preceding
1604+40 calendar year quarter and distinguish between the one (1) for one (1)
1605+41 meter changes and the one (1) for multiple meter changes made during
1606+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 37
1607+1 the calendar year quarter. A power subsidiary or a person selling the
1608+2 services or commodities listed in IC 6-2.5-4-5(b) IC 6-2.5-4-5 shall
1609+3 maintain records sufficient to document each one (1) to one (1) meter
1610+4 change. A person may request the department to reissue an exemption
1611+5 certificate with a new meter number in the event of a one (1) to one (1)
1612+6 meter change. Except for a person to whom a blanket utility exemption
1613+7 applies, any meter number changes not involving a one (1) to one (1)
1614+8 relationship will no longer be exempt and will require the person to
1615+9 submit a new utility exemption application for the new meters. Until an
1616+10 application for a new meter is approved, the new meter is subject to the
1617+11 state gross retail tax and the power subsidiary or the person selling the
1618+12 services or commodities listed in IC 6-2.5-4-5(b) IC 6-2.5-4-5 is
1619+13 required to collect the state gross retail tax from the date of the meter
1620+14 change.

1624+18 (1) "Distributor" means a person or entity located in this state
1625+19 that purchases tangible personal property from an eligible
1626+20 corporation for purposes of resale. For purposes of this
1627+21 section, a distributor is not a person or entity that has a
1628+22 relationship described in Section 267(b) of the Internal
1629+23 Revenue Code with the eligible corporation.
1630+24 (2) "Eligible corporation" means a corporation otherwise
1631+25 subject to tax under section 1(b) of this chapter. An eligible
1632+26 corporation shall not include a corporation described in
1633+27 IC 6-3-2-2.8(2) or a corporation subject to tax under IC 6-5.5.
1634+28 (3) "Qualifying distribution sale" means a sale of tangible
1635+29 personal property by an eligible corporation to a distributor
1636+30 that:
1637+31 (A) is a purchase for resale by the distributor as defined in
1638+32 IC 6-2.5-5-8; and
1639+33 (B) for which the sourcing of the sale of the property to an
1640+34 ultimate customer outside Indiana is agreed to by the
1641+35 department and the eligible corporation, or, in the absence
1642+36 of an agreement, sourced by the ratio of the population of
1643+37 Indiana compared to the population of all states in which
1644+38 the qualified distribution sales are sold to an ultimate
1645+39 customer.
1646+40 For purposes of this section, a qualifying distribution sale
1647+41 shall not include any sale for which the distributor does not
1648+42 issue an exemption certificate in the manner provided by the
1649+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 38
1650+1 department under IC 6-2.5-8-8 or a purchase by the
1651+2 distributor for the distributor's own use other than for resale.
1652+3 A qualifying distribution sale shall not include any sale made
1653+4 by a pass through entity that would otherwise be attributable
1654+5 under this article to the eligible corporation.
1655+6 (4) "Ultimate customer" means a purchaser of tangible
1656+7 personal property who purchases the tangible personal
1657+8 property without an intent of future resale of property.
1658+9 (b) If an eligible corporation has greater than one billion dollars
1659+10 ($1,000,000,000) of tangible personal property sales that otherwise
1660+11 would be sourced to this state under IC 6-3-2-2(e), and would have
1661+12 an apportionment percentage under IC 6-3-2-2 of greater than ten
1662+13 percent (10%) prior to application of this section the eligible
1663+14 corporation may elect to determine its tax as follows:
1664+15 STEP ONE: Determine the apportionment percentage under
1665+16 IC 6-3-2-2 and IC 6-3-3-2.2, treating qualifying distribution
1666+17 sales as if they were not receipts for purposes of the
1667+18 apportionment numerator, but treating the portion where the
1668+19 ultimate customer would be located in Indiana as part of the
1669+20 receipts numerator.
1670+21 STEP TWO: Determine Indiana adjusted gross income in the
1671+22 manner otherwise provided in this article, applying the
1672+23 apportionment percentage in STEP ONE. For purposes of this
1673+24 STEP, any adjusted gross income arising from qualified
1674+25 distribution sales shall be treated as business income of the
1675+26 eligible corporation.
1676+27 STEP THREE: Determine the tax due under this chapter on
1677+28 the amount computed in STEP TWO, reduced by any
1678+29 nonrefundable credits under IC 6-3-3 or IC 6-3.1, but not less
1679+30 than zero (0). For purposes of this article, any application of
1680+31 a credit under this STEP shall reduce the amount available
1681+32 for carryforward in the same manner as otherwise provided
1682+33 under IC 6-3-3 or IC 6-3.1.
1683+34 STEP FOUR:
1684+35 (A) If the eligible corporation's qualified distribution sales
1685+36 are not in excess of two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000),
1686+37 determine one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the qualified
1687+38 distribution sales.
1688+39 (B) If the eligible corporation's qualified distribution sales
1689+40 are in excess of two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) but not
1690+41 in excess of three billion dollars ($3,000,000,000),
1691+42 determine three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) of the
1692+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 39
1693+1 qualified distribution sales in excess of two billion dollars
1694+2 ($2,000,000,000) plus ten million dollars ($10,000,000).
1695+3 (C) If the eligible corporation's qualified distribution sales
1696+4 are in excess of three billion dollars ($3,000,000,000) but
1697+5 not in excess of four billion dollars ($4,000,000,000),
1698+6 determine one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) of the
1699+7 qualified distribution sales in excess of three billion dollars
1700+8 ($3,000,000,000) plus thirteen million seven hundred fifty
1701+9 thousand dollars ($13,750,000).
1702+10 (D) If the eligible corporation's qualified distribution sales
1703+11 are in excess of four billion dollars ($4,000,000,000),
1704+12 determine one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the
1705+13 qualified distribution sales in excess of four billion dollars
1706+14 ($4,000,000,000) plus sixteen million two hundred fifty
1707+15 thousand dollars ($16,250,000).
1708+16 STEP FIVE: Add the amounts determined under STEP
1709+17 THREE and STEP FOUR.
1710+18 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, for an
1711+19 eligible corporation that makes an election:
1712+20 (1) if the tax for a taxable year covered by the election as
1713+21 computed under subsection (b) is less than twenty-six million
1714+22 dollars ($26,000,000), the tax shall be twenty-six million
1715+23 dollars ($26,000,000); and
1716+24 (2) if the tax for the taxable year covered by an election as
1717+25 computed under subsection (b) is greater than the amount
1718+26 specified in clauses (A) through (C), the amount of tax shall be
1719+27 the following amounts:
1720+28 (A) For a taxable year ending after December 31, 2018,

1726+34 (C) For each taxable year ending after December 31, 2025,
1727+35 forty-two million dollars ($42,000,000) plus one million
1728+36 dollars ($1,000,000) for each taxable year ending after
1729+37 December 31, 2025.
1730+38 For purposes of this subsection, the tax for a taxable year under
1731+39 this section shall be determined after application of any credit
1732+40 allowable under IC 6-3-3 and IC 6-3.1.
1733+41 (d) If an eligible corporation makes an election under this
1734+42 section, the following apply:
1735+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 40
1736+1 (1) The eligible corporation shall be subject to the election for
1737+2 the taxable year of the election and each taxable year
1738+3 thereafter until the first taxable year ending ten (10) years
1739+4 after the first year in which an election is made under this
1740+5 section, even if the corporation would not be an eligible
1741+6 corporation for a taxable year after the taxable year in which
1742+7 the election is made, and shall be binding on any successor
1743+8 corporation or group of corporations to the eligible
1744+9 corporation.
1745+10 (2) After the period of the initial election under subdivision
1746+11 (1), the department may permit a taxpayer to make an
1747+12 election under this section for each subsequent taxable year
1748+13 after the election expires under subdivision (1). However:
1749+14 (A) an election under this subdivision is only permitted for
1750+15 one (1) taxable year; and
1751+16 (B) if an eligible corporation does make an election for a
1752+17 taxable year, the eligible corporation may only make a new
1753+18 election if the new election is subject to the terms of
1754+19 subdivision (1).
1755+20 (e) If two (2) or more eligible corporations are part of a
1756+21 consolidated return or combined return, the computation under
1757+22 STEP FOUR of subsection (b) shall be determined separately for
1758+23 each corporation.
1759+24 (f) For purposes of computing net operating losses for the
1760+25 taxable year under IC 6-3-2-2.6 and the deduction allowable
1761+26 against adjusted gross income under IC 6-3-2-2.6, the loss for the
1762+27 taxable year or deduction allowable shall be computed pursuant to
1763+28 STEP TWO of subsection (b).
1764+29 (g) An election under this section shall be in the form and
1765+30 manner prescribed by the department. The election must be
1766+31 completed and filed with the department on or before the date of
1767+32 filing of the original return for a taxable year to be effective
1768+33 beginning with that taxable year. In addition, if an eligible
1769+34 corporation files a consolidated return or combined return for the
1770+35 first taxable year of the election, or for any year subsequent to the
1771+36 first taxable year of the election, the eligible corporation and the
1772+37 department shall enter into an agreement regarding issues specific
1773+38 to consolidated or combined returns. In the absence of such an
1774+39 agreement, any such issues shall be treated in a manner prescribed
1775+40 by the department and published in the Indiana Register. If the
1776+41 original return for a taxable year is filed after the due date for the
1777+42 original return, including any extensions, an election will not be
1778+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 41
1779+1 allowed for that taxable year or any subsequent year to which the
1780+2 election otherwise would apply. However, the eligible corporation
1781+3 may file an election for subsequent taxable years, provided the
1782+4 eligible corporation otherwise meets the requirements of this
1783+5 section.

1881+17 the end of the year. However, if a partnership is permitted an extension
1882+18 to file its income tax return under IC 6-8.1-6-1, the return and payment
1883+19 due under this subsection shall be allowed the same treatment as an
1884+20 extended income tax return with respect to due dates, interest, and
1885+21 penalties under IC 6-8.1-6-1.
1886+22 (h) If a partnership fails to withhold and pay any amount of tax
1887+23 required to be withheld under this section and thereafter the tax is paid
1888+24 by the partners, the amounts of tax as paid by the partners shall not be
1889+25 collected from the partnership but it may not be relieved from liability
1890+26 for interest or penalty otherwise due in respect to the failure to
1891+27 withhold under IC 6-8.1-10.
1892+28 (i) A partnership shall file a composite adjusted gross income tax
1893+29 return on behalf of all nonresident partners. The composite return must
1894+30 include each nonresident partner regardless of whether or not the
1895+31 nonresident partner has other Indiana source income.
1896+32 (j) If a partnership does not include all nonresident partners in the
1897+33 composite return, the partnership is subject to the penalty imposed
1898+34 under IC 6-8.1-10-2.1(j).
1899+35 (k) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013, the
1900+36 department may not impose a late payment penalty on a partnership for
1901+37 the failure to file a return, pay the full amount of the tax shown on the
1902+38 partnership's return, or pay the deficiency of the withholding taxes due
1903+39 under this section if the partnership pays the department before the
1904+40 fifteenth day of the fourth month after the end of the partnership's
1905+41 taxable year at least:
1906+42 (1) eighty percent (80%) of the withholding tax due for the
1907+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 44
1908+1 current year; or
1909+2 (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the withholding tax due for the
1910+3 preceding year.
1911+4 (l) Notwithstanding subsection (a) or (i), a pass through entity
1912+5 partnership is not required to withhold tax or file a composite adjusted
1913+6 gross income tax return for a nonresident member partner if the entity:
1914+7 partnership:

1916+9 of the Internal Revenue Code;
1917+10 (2) meets the exception for partnerships under Section 7704(c) of
1918+11 the Internal Revenue Code; and
1919+12 (3) has agreed to file an annual information return reporting the
1920+13 name, address, taxpayer identification number, and other
1921+14 information requested by the department of each unit holder.
1922+15 The department may issue written guidance explaining circumstances
1923+16 under which limited partnerships or limited liability companies owned
1924+17 by a publicly traded partnership may be excluded from the withholding
1925+18 requirements of this section.
1926+19 (m) Notwithstanding subsection (k), a partnership is subject to a late
1927+20 payment penalty for the failure to file a return, pay the full amount of
1928+21 the tax shown on the partnership's return, or pay the deficiency of the
1929+22 withholding taxes due under this section for any amounts of
1930+23 withholding tax, including any interest under IC 6-8.1-10-1, reported
1931+24 or paid after the due date of the return, as adjusted by any extension
1932+25 under IC 6-8.1-6-1.

1943+36 have the privilege of making a consolidated return with respect to the
1944+37 taxes imposed by IC 6-3. The making of a consolidated return shall be
1945+38 upon the condition that all corporations which at any time during the
1946+39 taxable year have been members of the affiliated group consent to all
1947+40 of the provisions of this section including all provisions of the
1948+41 consolidated return regulations prescribed pursuant to Section 1502 of
1949+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 45
1950+1 the Internal Revenue Code and incorporated in this section by reference
1951+2 and all regulations promulgated by the department implementing this
1952+3 section prior to the last day prescribed by law for the filing of such
1953+4 return. The making of a consolidated return shall be considered as such
1954+5 consent. In the case of a corporation which is a member of the affiliated
1955+6 group for a fractional part of the year, the consolidated return shall
1956+7 include the income of such corporation for such part of the year as it is
1957+8 a member of the affiliated group.
1958+9 (b) For the purposes of this section the term "affiliated group" shall
1959+10 mean an "affiliated group" as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal
1960+11 Revenue Code with the exception that the affiliated group shall not
1961+12 include any corporation which does not have adjusted gross income
1962+13 derived from sources within the state of Indiana.
1963+14 (c) For purposes of IC 6-3-1-3.5(b), the determination of "taxable
1964+15 income," as defined in Section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code, of any
1965+16 affiliated group of corporations making a consolidated return and of
1966+17 each corporation in the group, both during and after the period of
1967+18 affiliation, shall be determined pursuant to the regulations prescribed
1968+19 under Section 1502 of the Internal Revenue Code.
1969+20 (d) Any credit against the taxes imposed by IC 6-3 which is
1970+21 available to any corporation which is a member of an affiliated group
1971+22 of corporations making a consolidated return shall be applied against
1972+23 the tax liability of the affiliated group.
1973+24 (e) For purposes of this section, the following rules shall apply:
1974+25 (1) In the case of the sale of a corporation, the filing status of
1975+26 the remaining members of the consolidated group shall
1976+27 continue absent an election by those consolidated members to
1977+28 file separately or on a combined basis.
1978+29 (2) In the case of a merger, the previous filing status of the
1979+30 surviving corporation shall continue. If the surviving
1980+31 corporation is part of an affiliated group that filed a
1981+32 consolidated return in the immediately preceding taxable
1982+33 year, the surviving corporation shall be considered to be part
1983+34 of the consolidated return, provided that the surviving
1984+35 corporation would otherwise be part of the affiliated group
1985+36 under subsection (b).
1986+37 (3) In the case of an acquisition of a corporation, the filing
1987+38 status of the acquiring group shall continue absent an election
1988+39 by the corporations to file separately or on a combined basis.
1989+40 (4) In the case of a corporation that was previously part of a
1990+41 consolidated return but ceased to be part of a consolidated
1991+42 return for any other reason, the election to be part of a
1992+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 46
1993+1 consolidated return shall be considered to continue for all
1994+2 corporations.
1995+3 Provided, however, that if a consolidated election is discontinued
1996+4 as a result of sale, merger, acquisition, or any other reason, nothing
1997+5 in this section shall be construed to prevent a new election to file a
1998+6 consolidated return under this section.

2004+12 on behalf of partners, shareholders, and beneficiaries who are
2005+13 considered residents for purposes of those sections in the same
2006+14 manner as tax is remitted for partners, shareholders, and
2007+15 beneficiaries who are considered nonresidents for purposes of
2008+16 those sections, provided that such procedures do not relieve filing
2009+17 requirements otherwise applicable to partners, shareholders, and
2010+18 beneficiaries who are considered residents for purposes of those
2011+19 sections;
2012+20 (2) prescribe special procedures for persons or entities that are

2015+23 may result in excess withholding;
2016+24 (3) prescribe procedures for individuals and trusts that are
2017+25 residents for part of the taxable year and nonresidents for part of
2018+26 the taxable year; and
2019+27 (4) prescribe procedures by which an entity subject to those
2020+28 sections may request alternative withholding arrangements,
2021+29 provided that such arrangements do not jeopardize the tax
2022+30 otherwise due under IC 6-3 or IC 6-5.5; and
2023+31 (5) prescribe procedures and guidelines by which a partner,
2024+32 shareholder, or beneficiary may elect to not be subject to
2025+33 withholding, in whole or in part, provided that:
2026+34 (A) the election by the partner, shareholder, or beneficiary
2027+35 lists the conditions of the election and that the election is
2028+36 signed under penalty of perjury prior to the due date for
2029+37 the pass through entity to remit tax for the taxable year;
2030+38 (B) the election states that partner, shareholder, or
2031+39 beneficiary has adequate funds to remit any tax due under
2032+40 this article or IC 6-5.5;
2033+41 (C) the election provides any periods for which
2034+42 withholding is not required or is reduced;
2035+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 47
2036+1 (D) the election provides that the partner, shareholder, or
2037+2 beneficiary agree to be subject to the jurisdiction of the
2038+3 state of Indiana and shall be liable to file any returns
2039+4 otherwise due under this article or IC 6-5.5, including any
2040+5 composite and withholding returns, and to remit any tax
2041+6 otherwise due, including any interest or penalties due on
2042+7 any tax due;
2043+8 (E) the election provides that the election is subject to
2044+9 department approval and that the department may revoke
2045+10 the election at any time for any reason; and
2046+11 (F) the election is attached to the returns of the pass
2047+12 through entity and of the partner, shareholder, or
2048+13 beneficiary required under this article or IC 6-5.5.
2049+14 A failure by the pass through entity to obtain an election for
2050+15 a taxable year or to attach the election to the pass through
2051+16 entity's return for a taxable year shall be treated as if the
2052+17 election was not made for the taxable year.

2237+32 (C) each tiered partner that is an owner, beneficiary, or partner
2238+33 of an entity that is a tier two (2) entity or higher shall be
2239+34 assigned a tier number that is one (1) tier higher and is
2240+35 considered an entity in that tier.
2241+36 If, after application of this subdivision, a tiered partner is assigned
2242+37 to more than one (1) tier, the tiered partner shall be treated as
2243+38 being assigned to the highest numerical tier to which the tiered
2244+39 partner could be assigned.
2245+40 (8) In the case of a partnership or tiered partner that is assigned a
2246+41 numerical tier, the applicable deadline for purposes of this chapter
2247+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 52
2248+1 is:
2249+2 (A) in the case of a tier one (1) entity receiving a report of
2250+3 partnership adjustments, ninety (90) days from the date the
2251+4 report of partnership adjustments is final;
2252+5 (B) in the case of a tier one (1) entity that has received a final
2253+6 federal determination, one hundred eighty (180) days from the
2254+7 final determination date;
2255+8 (C) in the case of a tier one (1) entity that has filed an
2256+9 amended return under this chapter other than an amended
2257+10 return resulting from a final federal determination, zero (0)
2258+11 days; and
2259+12 (D) in the case of a tiered partner that has received
2260+13 adjustments resulting from a tier one (1) partnership, a number
2261+14 of days equal to:
2262+15 (i) the number of days described in clauses (A) through (C),
2263+16 as applicable; plus
2264+17 (ii) thirty (30) multiplied by the tier number assigned to the
2265+18 tiered partner; minus
2266+19 (iii) thirty (30).
2267+20 However, if a tiered partner receives an adjustment reported on a
2268+21 partnership audit tracking report under Section 6226 of the
2269+22 Internal Revenue Code, the time period applicable for the tiered
2270+23 partner is the longer of the time period described in clause (D) or
2271+24 ninety (90) days from the date prescribed in Section
2272+25 6226(b)(4)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, and any other
2273+26 applicable deadlines under this subdivision or subdivision (9).
2274+27 (9) In the case of a direct partner or indirect partner that is not a
2275+28 tiered partner, the applicable deadline for purposes of this chapter
2276+29 is ninety (90) days after the applicable deadline that is determined
2277+30 for the partnership or tiered partner under subdivision (8). If a
2278+31 direct partner or indirect partner described in this subdivision is
2279+32 subject to more than one (1) applicable deadline, the applicable
2280+33 deadline is the latest date determined under this subdivision.

2283+36 JULY 1, 2021 (RETROACTIVE)]: Sec. 3. (a) If the department
2284+37 conducts an audit or investigation of a partnership, and the department
2285+38 determines that the partnership:
2286+39 (1) did not correctly report any tax attribute for a taxable year; or
2287+40 (2) did not correctly allocate any tax attribute for a taxable year;
2288+41 the department may adjust or reallocate the tax attribute. If the
2289+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 53
2290+1 department makes an adjustment or reallocation to one (1) or more tax
2291+2 attributes, the department shall provide a report of proposed
2292+3 partnership adjustments for the taxable year to the partnership.
2293+4 (b) The preliminary report of proposed partnership adjustments
2294+5 shall list:
2295+6 (1) the department's adjustments to tax attributes; and
2296+7 (2) the allocation of the department's adjustments to all affected
2297+8 direct partners.
2298+9 (c) If the preliminary report of proposed partnership adjustments for
2299+10 a taxable year results in either:
2300+11 (1) a potential increase in tax to one (1) or more direct partners;
2301+12 or
2302+13 (2) if the partnership reported tax attributes that would result in a
2303+14 refund of tax to one (1) or more partners, a reduction in that
2304+15 refund;
2305+16 such report shall be treated as a proposed assessment under IC 6-8.1-5
2306+17 to the partnership.
2307+18 (d) If the result for partnership adjustments for a taxable year results
2308+19 in:
2309+20 (1) no direct increase in tax to any direct partner; and
2310+21 (2) a change in tax attributes to one (1) or more direct partners
2311+22 that would result in a refund in excess of any refund claimed;
2312+23 the department shall issue a report of proposed partnership adjustments
2313+24 to the partnership reflecting such adjustments. Any refund arising from
2314+25 a report of proposed partnership adjustments shall be issued to the
2315+26 partners, subject to the partner claiming the refund and any statute of
2316+27 limitations on such refunds. In the case of partnership adjustments
2317+28 otherwise described in this subsection that result from a partnership
2318+29 adjustment described in subsection (c), all such partnership
2319+30 adjustments shall be treated as adjustments to which subsection (c)
2320+31 applies.

2322+33 SECTION 18, IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE
2323+34 JULY 1, 2021 (RETROACTIVE)]: Sec. 5. (a) For purposes of this
2324+35 chapter, a report of proposed partnership adjustments for a taxable
2325+36 year is considered a final report of final partnership adjustments upon
2326+37 the latest of:
2327+38 (1) the last day a protest of the report of proposed partnership
2328+39 adjustments could have been filed by the partnership, if no protest
2329+40 is filed;
2330+41 (2) if a protest is filed, but no original tax appeal is filed pursuant
2331+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 54

2336+5 (4) the date set in subsection (b).
2337+6 (b) If, upon protest or appeal, an adjustment in a report of proposed
2338+7 partnership adjustments is determined to be incorrect, the department
2339+8 shall issue a report of final partnership adjustments consistent with the
2340+9 determination not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the
2341+10 determination is otherwise determined to be final under subsection
2342+11 (a)(1) through (a)(3). If the report of final partnership adjustments is
2343+12 not issued within one hundred eighty (180) days, one (1) day for each
2344+13 day that the report of final partnership adjustments is issued after the
2345+14 one hundred eighty (180) day deadline is added to the deadline for
2346+15 which a partnership or tiered partner may act without being subject to
2347+16 assessment under section 18 of this chapter. In the case of a partnership
2348+17 with multiple tiers, this extension applies to each tier.
2349+18 (c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), if the partnership and the
2350+19 department enter into a settlement agreement under IC 6-8.1-3-17 to
2351+20 resolve all matters related to the report of proposed partnership
2352+21 adjustments for a taxable year, the report of final partnership
2353+22 adjustments for that taxable year reflected in the agreement shall be
2354+23 issued final one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the

2368+37 with the department as provided in section 8 of this chapter
2369+38 and provide any other information required by the department;
2370+39 (B) notify each of its direct partners of their distributive share
2371+40 of the final federal adjustments as provided in section 8 of this
2372+41 chapter for all affected taxable years for which the partnership
2373+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 55
2374+1 filed an amended partnership return by an amended statement
2375+2 or a report in the form and manner prescribed by the
2376+3 department; and
2377+4 (C) file an amended composite return for direct partners and
2378+5 an amended withholding return for direct partners for the

2384+11 (A) file an amended return as provided in section 8 of this
2385+12 chapter reporting their distributive share of the adjustments
2386+13 reported to them under subdivision (1)(B) for the taxable year
2387+14 in which affected taxable year attributes would be reported by
2388+15 the direct partner as provided in section 8 of this chapter; and
2389+16 (B) pay any additional amount of tax due as if final federal
2390+17 partnership adjustments had been properly reported, less any
2391+18 credit for related amounts paid or withheld and remitted on

2393+20 (3) Each tiered partner shall treat any final federal partnership
2394+21 adjustments under this section in a manner consistent with the

2407+34 (A) Exclude from final federal adjustments the distributive
2408+35 share of these adjustments reported to a direct exempt partner
2409+36 that is not unrelated business income.
2410+37 (B) For the total distributive shares of the remaining final
2411+38 federal adjustments reported to direct corporate partners and
2412+39 to direct exempt partners, apportion and allocate such
2413+40 adjustments as provided under IC 6-3-2-2 or IC 6-3-2-2.2 (in
2414+41 the case of the adjusted gross income tax) or IC 6-5.5-4 (in the
2415+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 56
2416+1 case of the financial institutions tax), and multiply the
2417+2 resulting amount by the tax rate for the taxable year under
2418+3 IC 6-3-2-1(b), IC 6-3-2-1.5, or IC 6-5.5-2-1, as applicable.
2419+4 (C) For the total distributive shares of the remaining final
2420+5 federal adjustments reported to nonresident direct partners
2421+6 other than tiered partners or corporate partners, determine
2422+7 the amount of such adjustments which is Indiana source
2423+8 income under IC 6-3-2-2 or IC 6-3-2-2.2, and multiply the
2424+9 resulting amount by the tax rate under IC 6-3-2-1(a), and if
2425+10 applicable IC 6-3.6. If a partnership is unable to determine
2426+11 whether a nonresident is subject to tax under IC 6-3.6, or to
2427+12 determine in what county the nonresident is subject to tax
2428+13 under IC 6-3.6, tax shall also be imposed at the highest rate for
2429+14 which a county imposes a tax under IC 6-3.6 for the taxable
2430+15 year.
2431+16 (D) For the total distributive shares of the remaining final
2432+17 federal adjustments reported to tiered partners:
2433+18 (i) determine the amount of any adjustment that is of a type
2434+19 that it would be subject to sourcing in Indiana under
2435+20 IC 6-3-2-2, IC 6-3-2-2.2, or IC 6-5.5-4, as applicable, and
2436+21 determine the portion of this amount that would be sourced
2437+22 to Indiana;
2438+23 (ii) determine the amount of any adjustment that is of a type
2439+24 that it would not be subject to sourcing to Indiana by a
2440+25 nonresident partner under IC 6-3-2-2, IC 6-3-2-2.2, or
2441+26 IC 6-5.5-4, as applicable;
2442+27 (iii) determine the portion of the amount determined under
2443+28 item (ii) that can be established, as prescribed by the
2444+29 department by rule under IC 4-22-2, to be properly allocable
2445+30 to nonresident indirect partners or other partners not subject
2446+31 to tax on the adjustments; and
2447+32 (iv) multiply the sum of the amounts determined in items (i)
2448+33 and (ii) reduced by the amount determined in item (iii) by
2449+34 the highest combined rate for the review taxable year under
2450+35 IC 6-3-2-1(a) and IC 6-3.6 for any county, the rate under
2451+36 IC 6-3-2-1(b), or the rate under 6-5.5-2-1 for the taxable

2453+38 (E) For the total distributive shares of the remaining final

2455+40 trust direct partners, multiply that amount by the tax rate under
2456+41 IC 6-3-2-1(a) and IC 6-3.6. If a partnership does not
2457+42 reasonably ascertain the county of residence for an individual
2458+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 57
2459+1 direct partner, the rate under IC 6-3.6 for that partner shall be
2460+2 treated as the highest rate imposed in any county under
2461+3 IC 6-3.6 for the taxable year.
2462+4 (F) Add an amount equal to any credit reduction under
2463+5 IC 6-3-3, IC 6-3.1, and IC 6-5.5 attributable as a result of
2464+6 final federal adjustments.
2465+7 (F) (G) Add the amounts determined in clauses (B), (C),
2466+8 (D)(iv), and (E), and (F). For purposes of determining interest
2467+9 and penalties, the due date of payment shall be the due date of
2468+10 the partnership's return under IC 6-3-4-10 for the taxable year,
2469+11 determined without regard to any extensions.
2470+12 If a partnership has made an election under this chapter to report and
2471+13 remit all tax otherwise due at the partnership level for a taxable year,
2472+14 the partnership shall be considered to have made a timely election
2473+15 under this subsection with regard to any changes arising from an
2474+16 amended return under this section for that taxable year.
2475+17 (d) Final federal adjustments subject to an election under subsection
2476+18 (c) shall not include:
2477+19 (1) the distributive share of final federal adjustments that would
2478+20 constitute income derived from a partnership to any direct or
2479+21 indirect partner that is a corporation taxable under IC 6-3-2-1(b),
2480+22 IC 6-3-2-1.5, or IC 6-5.5-2-1 and is considered unitary to the
2481+23 partnership;
2482+24 (2) any final federal adjustments resulting from an administrative
2483+25 adjustment request; or
2484+26 (3) any other circumstances that the department determines would
2485+27 result in avoidance or evasion of any tax otherwise due from one
2486+28 (1) or more partners under IC 6-3 or IC 6-5.5.
2487+29 (e) Notwithstanding IC 6-3-4-11, an audited partnership not
2488+30 otherwise subject to any reporting or payment obligations to Indiana
2489+31 that makes an election under subsection (c) consents to be subject to
2490+32 Indiana law related to reporting, assessment, payment, and collection
2491+33 of Indiana tax calculated under the election.

3343+40 AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY
3344+41 1, 2022]: Sec. 28. (a) If the department determines that an amount
3345+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 78
3346+1 of a listed tax has been distributed to a county, taxing district, or
3347+2 taxing unit in error or determines that all or part of the
3348+3 distribution was refunded subsequent to the distribution, the
3349+4 department shall notify the county treasurer and the county
3350+5 auditor of the excess distribution and request that the excess
3351+6 distribution be repaid to the department or that the department be
3352+7 permitted to offset the excess distribution against listed taxes. The
3353+8 notification under this section shall consist of:
3354+9 (1) the listed tax for which the excess distribution occurred;
3355+10 (2) the period to which the excess distribution relates; and
3356+11 (3) the county, taxing district, or taxing unit that received the
3357+12 excess distribution.
3358+13 (b) If the department is unable to obtain repayment from the
3359+14 county or obtain an agreement to offset against other listed taxes
3360+15 after a request by the department is made under subsection (a), the
3361+16 department may offset distributions of that listed tax or other
3362+17 listed taxes distributable to that county upon notification of:
3363+18 (1) the listed tax from which the offset will be applied;
3364+19 (2) in the case of an offset applied against local income tax, the
3365+20 particular share from which the offset will be obtained; and

3367+22 The department may recover any excess distribution over a period
3368+23 of multiple distributions.
3369+24 (c) The department shall attempt to apply any offset against the
3370+25 same listed tax as the over distribution or other listed taxes
3371+26 otherwise distributable to the county, taxing district, or taxing unit
3372+27 as closely as possible. If the department determines that such an
3373+28 offset is not practicable, the department shall offset the distribution
3374+29 against the local income tax distributions otherwise required under
3375+30 IC 6-3.6 and the state budget agency shall adjust the distributions
3376+31 of local income tax for the calendar year in which the offset occurs
3377+32 or will occur to reflect such distribution.
3378+33 SECTION 77. IC 6-8.1-6-1, AS AMENDED BY P.L.190-2014,
3379+34 SECTION 26, IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE
3380+35 JANUARY 1, 2023]: Sec. 1. (a) This subsection does not apply to a
3381+36 person's Indiana adjusted gross income tax return or a person's financial
3382+37 institutions tax return. If a person responsible for filing a tax return is
3383+38 unable to file the return by the appropriate due date, the person may
3384+39 petition the department, before that due date, for a filing extension.
3385+40 When the department receives the petition, the department shall grant
3386+41 the person a sixty (60) day extension.
3387+42 (b) If a person responsible for filing a tax return has received an
3388+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 79
3389+1 extension of the due date and is still unable to file the return by the
3390+2 extended due date, the person may petition the department for another
3391+3 extension. The person must include in the petition a statement of the
3392+4 reasons for the person's inability to file the return by the due date. If the
3393+5 department finds that the person's petition is proper and that the person
3394+6 has good cause for requesting the extension, the department may
3395+7 extend the person's due date for any period that the department deems
3396+8 reasonable under the circumstances. The department may allow
3397+9 additional, successive extensions if the person properly petitions for the
3398+10 extension before the end of the person's current extension period.
3399+11 (c) The following apply only to a person's Indiana adjusted gross
3400+12 income tax return or a person's financial institutions tax return:
3401+13 (1) If the Internal Revenue Service allows a person an extension
3402+14 on the person's federal income tax return, the corresponding due
3403+15 dates for the person's Indiana income tax returns are automatically
3404+16 extended for the same period to the last day as the federal
3405+17 extension, plus thirty (30) days. one (1) month. For purposes of
3406+18 this subdivision, if the last day of the federal extension is a
3407+19 Saturday, Sunday, a national legal holiday recognized by the
3408+20 federal government, or a statewide holiday, the last day of the
3409+21 federal extension shall be determined without regard to
3410+22 Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays.
3411+23 (2) If a person petitions the department for a filing extension for
3412+24 the person's Indiana adjusted gross income tax return or financial
3413+25 institutions tax return without obtaining an extension for filing the
3414+26 person's federal income tax return, the department shall extend
3415+27 the person's due date for the person's Indiana adjusted gross
3416+28 income tax return or financial institutions tax return for the same
3417+29 period that the person would have been allowed under subdivision
3418+30 (1) if the person had been granted an extension by the Internal
3419+31 Revenue Service. For purposes of this subdivision, if a person
3420+32 files an extension request for the person's federal income tax
3421+33 return for a taxable year but the extension is denied by the
3422+34 Internal Revenue Service, the department shall consider the
3423+35 person to have filed an extension under this subsection for
3424+36 that taxable year, provided that the person did not have a
3425+37 previous extension request denied by the Internal Revenue
3426+38 Service for that taxable year.
3427+39 (d) A person submitting a petition for an extension under this
3428+40 section is not required to include any payment of tax with the petition.
3429+41 However, a person obtaining an extension under this section must pay
3430+42 at least ninety percent (90%) of the tax that is reasonably expected to
3431+SB 382—LS 7170/DI 120 80
3432+1 be due on the original due date by that due date, or the person may be
3433+2 subject to the penalties imposed for failure to pay the tax. This
3434+3 subsection does not apply to payments required under
3435+4 IC 6-3-4-12(k) and IC 6-3-4-13(l).
3436+5 (e) Any tax that remains unpaid during an extension period accrues
3437+6 interest at a rate established under IC 6-8.1-10-1 from the original due
3438+7 date, but that tax will not accrue any late payment penalties until the
3439+8 extension period has ended. Any penalties must be determined based
3440+9 on the amount of tax not paid on or before the end of the extension
3441+10 period after application of payments provided under IC 6-8.1-8-1.5 and
3442+11 determined as of the deadline of the extension period.
3443+12 SECTION 78. IC 6-8.1-6-2 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE

3445+14 Sunday, a national legal holiday recognized by the federal government,

3447+16 timely if performed by the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday,
3448+17 a Sunday, or one of those holidays.

2733-section, the following apply:

2762-be computed pursuant to STEP TWO of subsection (b).
2763-(g) An election under this section shall be in the form and
2764-manner prescribed by the department. The election must be
2765-completed and filed with the department on or before the date of
2766-filing of the original return for a taxable year to be effective
2767-beginning with that taxable year. In addition, if an eligible
2768-corporation files a consolidated return or combined return for the
2769-first taxable year of the election, or for any year subsequent to the
2770-first taxable year of the election, the eligible corporation and the

2773-agreement, any such issues shall be treated in a manner prescribed
2774-by the department and published in the Indiana Register. If the
2775-original return for a taxable year is filed after the due date for the

3116-under which limited partnerships or limited liability companies owned
3117-by a publicly traded partnership may be excluded from the withholding
3118-requirements of this section.
3119-(m) Notwithstanding subsection (k), a partnership is subject to a late
3120-payment penalty for the failure to file a return, pay the full amount of
3121-the tax shown on the partnership's return, or pay the deficiency of the
3122-withholding taxes due under this section for any amounts of

3162-(d) Any credit against the taxes imposed by IC 6-3 which is
3163-available to any corporation which is a member of an affiliated group
3164-of corporations making a consolidated return shall be applied against
3165-the tax liability of the affiliated group.
3166-(e) For purposes of this section, the following rules shall apply:
3167-(1) In the case of the sale of a corporation, the filing status of
3168-the remaining members of the consolidated group shall
3169-continue absent an election by those consolidated members to

3189-as a result of sale, merger, acquisition, or any other reason, nothing
3190-in this section shall be construed to prevent a new election to file a

3766-(D)(iv), and (E), and (F). For purposes of determining interest
3767-and penalties, the due date of payment shall be the due date of
3768-the partnership's return under IC 6-3-4-10 for the taxable year,
3769-determined without regard to any extensions.
3770-If a partnership has made an election under this chapter to report and

3774-amended return under this section for that taxable year.
3775-(d) Final federal adjustments subject to an election under subsection
3776-(c) shall not include:

5096-distribution be repaid to the department or that the department be
5097-SEA 382 — CC 1 121
5098-permitted to offset the excess distribution against listed taxes. The
5099-notification under this section shall consist of:

5101-(2) the period to which the excess distribution relates; and
5102-(3) the county, taxing district, or taxing unit that received the

5104-(b) If the department is unable to obtain repayment from the
5105-county or obtain an agreement to offset against other listed taxes
5106-after a request by the department is made under subsection (a), the

5127-person's Indiana adjusted gross income tax return or a person's financial
5128-institutions tax return. If a person responsible for filing a tax return is
5129-unable to file the return by the appropriate due date, the person may
5130-petition the department, before that due date, for a filing extension.
5131-When the department receives the petition, the department shall grant
5132-the person a sixty (60) day extension.
5133-(b) If a person responsible for filing a tax return has received an
5134-extension of the due date and is still unable to file the return by the
5135-extended due date, the person may petition the department for another
5136-extension. The person must include in the petition a statement of the
5137-reasons for the person's inability to file the return by the due date. If the
5138-department finds that the person's petition is proper and that the person
5139-has good cause for requesting the extension, the department may
5140-SEA 382 — CC 1 122
5141-extend the person's due date for any period that the department deems
5142-reasonable under the circumstances. The department may allow
5143-additional, successive extensions if the person properly petitions for the

5145-(c) The following apply only to a person's Indiana adjusted gross
5146-income tax return or a person's financial institutions tax return:
5147-(1) If the Internal Revenue Service allows a person an extension

5154-federal government, or a statewide holiday, the last day of the
5155-federal extension shall be determined without regard to
5156-Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays.
5157-(2) If a person petitions the department for a filing extension for
5158-the person's Indiana adjusted gross income tax return or financial
5159-institutions tax return without obtaining an extension for filing the
5160-person's federal income tax return, the department shall extend
5161-the person's due date for the person's Indiana adjusted gross
5162-income tax return or financial institutions tax return for the same
5163-period that the person would have been allowed under subdivision
5164-(1) if the person had been granted an extension by the Internal
5165-Revenue Service. For purposes of this subdivision, if a person
5166-files an extension request for the person's federal income tax
5167-return for a taxable year but the extension is denied by the
5168-Internal Revenue Service, the department shall consider the
5169-person to have filed an extension under this subsection for
5170-that taxable year, provided that the person did not have a
5171-previous extension request denied by the Internal Revenue
5172-Service for that taxable year.
5173-(d) A person submitting a petition for an extension under this
5174-section is not required to include any payment of tax with the petition.

5176-at least ninety percent (90%) of the tax that is reasonably expected to
5177-be due on the original due date by that due date, or the person may be
5178-subject to the penalties imposed for failure to pay the tax. This
5179-subsection does not apply to payments required under
5180-IC 6-3-4-12(k) and IC 6-3-4-13(l).
5181-(e) Any tax that remains unpaid during an extension period accrues
5182-interest at a rate established under IC 6-8.1-10-1 from the original due
5183-SEA 382 — CC 1 123
5184-date, but that tax will not accrue any late payment penalties until the
5185-extension period has ended. Any penalties must be determined based
5186-on the amount of tax not paid on or before the end of the extension
5187-period after application of payments provided under IC 6-8.1-8-1.5 and
5188-determined as of the deadline of the extension period.
