Indiana Income Tax Withholding

Indiana requires employers to withhold income tax from employees’ compensation and remit withheld amounts to the Department of Revenue.

Employers are required to withhold from wages regardless of the number of employees or the place wage payments are made.

Reciprocal agreements with Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin provide that Indiana employers need not withhold Indiana tax from wages paid to employees who reside in these states, but employers are urged to withhold the appropriate tax applicable to the employees' state of legal residence.
