🛠️ Resolution
Step 1: Confirm the fiscal year matches the tax year forms being filed
The fiscal year of the return must match the tax year forms being filed.
Indiana does not allow returns to be e-filed on prior year forms. This rule is common to all return types.
Step 2: Use the correct tax year forms for the return’s dates
Make sure you file using the tax year forms that match the return’s fiscal year.
Example: A return with fiscal year dates of 1/1/2020 to 1/31/2020 must file on 2020 tax year forms.
âś… Success!
Once the correct tax year forms are used (matching the return’s fiscal year), the INGEN-005 rejection should be resolved.
