Are Property Taxes Deductible in Indiana?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Indiana adds its own break: Deduct up to $2,500 of property taxes on your Indiana home; renters can deduct up to $3,000 of rent.

Also: new supplemental homestead credit from 2026 bills: 10% of your homestead tax, up to $300, applied automatically. Homestead: $48,000 standard deduction (2025 pay 2026, phasing to $0 by 2030) plus a supplemental deduction of 40% that rises yearly. SEA 1 (2025) is shifting Indiana's homestead relief from flat deductions toward percentage deductions and credits through 2031.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
