⚠️ TAX ALERT: Indiana & Illinois Tax Amnesty Programs Are Open Now

If your business has unresolved state tax liabilities in Indiana or Illinois, you have a limited-time opportunity to resolve them — with penalties, interest, and collection fees fully waived.

🔵 INDIANA — Tax Amnesty 2026
📅 July 15 – September 9, 2026
✔ All DOR-administered taxes for periods ending before Jan. 1, 2024
✔ Penalties, interest & collection fees: WAIVED
✔ Even businesses under audit are eligible
✔ Payment plans available through June 7, 2027

⚠️ Don't sit this one out: Indiana's standard penalty is 10% of tax owed — waived if you participate. But if you skip the amnesty, are later audited, and eligible liabilities are found, Indiana can assess a 20% penalty — double the standard rate — because you had the chance to resolve it and didn't.

🟠 ILLINOIS — Remote Retailer Amnesty 2026
📅 August 1 – October 31, 2026
✔ Out-of-state sellers with IL sales tax obligations
✔ Covers sales periods Jan. 1, 2021 – June 30, 2026
✔ Simplified flat tax rates available
✔ Full penalty & interest abatement upon compliance

Not sure if this applies to you? We can help assess your exposure before the window closes.
