Inheritance Tax

Indiana’s inheritance tax has been repealed for taxpayers who died after Dec. 31, 2012. On April 27, 2013 the Indiana General Assembly passed legislation repealing the tax, and Governor Mike Pence signed the bill into law on May 8, 2013.
 
For taxpayers who died after Dec. 31, 2012, Consents to Transfer (Form IH-14) or Notices of Intended Transfer of Checking Account (Form IH-19) are no longer required to be filed because of this repeal.
 
However, for taxpayers who died before Jan. 1, 2013, Consents to Transfer for financial accounts and Notices of Intended Transfer of Checking Accounts are still required. Inheritance tax returns (IH-6for Indiana residents and Form IH-12 for non-residents) must still be filed with the County Assessor for those who died before Jan. 1, 2013, if any transferee exceeds his or her exemption amount.
