Part year return
binds: Ordinary individual who ceases Indiana residency during the tax year and received income while living in Indiana · verified Sep 2026 · quotes found on saved pages, Oct 6, 2026 or later
Becomes a part-year resident with income received while an Indiana resident
Who this covers, exactly
Indiana DOR guidance directs a part-year resident who received income while living in Indiana to file Form IT-40PNR. Temporary absence alone does not change residency. This record addresses the departure-year filing category only; it does not establish a tax amount, county allocation, military treatment, later full-year nonresident treatment or a filing clock measured from moving.
note
DOR identifies this population as required to file. Statutory thresholds, exclusions and tax-year-specific return instructions still require review; no late-filing penalty is assigned.
Exceptions on record
Indiana Department of Revenue, temporary absence
Residents, including military personnel, who leave Indiana for a temporary stay are considered residents during their absence.
