Eligible seniors will be able to file Indiana’s Tax Credit for the Elderly online starting in 2026, making it easier and faster to receive their refund. Seniors who qualify for the credit but do not need to file an income tax return can do so online at INTIME at intime.dor.in.gov.
The Tax Credit for the Elderly provides a credit for up to $100 for an individual or up to $140 for a married couple. Eligible seniors must fill out Form SC-40 to receive the credit.
Hoosiers qualify to file Form SC-40 if they:
Are 65 or older by the end of the year
Have taxable income of less than $10,000
Lived in Indiana for six months or more during the year
Filing Form SC-40 online through INTIME allows refunds to be processed more quickly. Those who choose direct deposit will receive their refund securely and faster than waiting for a mailed check.
Find the form on the Indiana Department of Revenue’s INTIME website at intime.dor.in.gov. Look for the “Where’s My Refund” panel and choose SC-40.
Form SC-40 must be submitted before April 15, 2026.
