Social Security benefits in Indiana

Varies

Is Social Security Taxed in Indiana?

Short answer: No. Indiana does not tax Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits; any amount taxed federally is deducted on the Indiana return.

Federally, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable depending on your combined income (IRS Pub 915); that part doesn't change by state.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
