Nearly two million Hoosier taxpayers may qualify to file their federal and state taxes online for free using Indiana freefile (INfreefile). For Hoosiers who still need to file, this may be a convenient option.
If a taxpayer has an adjusted gross income of $60,000 or less for 2014, they may be eligible for INfreefile. Taxpayers should visit www.freefile.dor.in.gov to see if they qualify for the program. If eligible, taxpayers simply click the vendor of their choice and complete their tax returns online using a question and answer style format.
Advantages to filing taxes electronically include:
- Faster refunds: E-filed returns are processed in 10 to 14 days, while a paper return can take up to 12 weeks.
- More secure: Fewer people see your personal information.
- Get more or pay less: E-filing software may suggest credits or deductions you might not have known about.
- More accurate: E-filed returns have a two percent error rate versus 20 percent for paper returns.
The deadline to file taxes is April 15. For more information, click here.
