Attention Taxpayers

Recent changes in Indiana law now require taxpayers who file a Business Tangible Personal Property Return (103 Long, 103 Short, or 102 Farm) to complete the entire form.  All returns should also include a completed Form 104.  The following are regularly absent from filed business personal property returns:

  • Principal Business Codes (see NAICS Business Activity Codes)
  • FEDERAL ID NUMBERS/SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS
  • Taxpayer must sign both forms.
  • Incomplete returns may result in fines pursuant to Indiana law IC 6-1.1- 37-7(d).


*All Form 102's and 103's need to be coded with whichever code best describes the business that the forms are being submitted for.

FORM 113/PP

The Form 113/PP will provide an explanation as to why you are receiving it.
Some possible reasons for receiving a Form 113/PP include:
A. Failure to file applicable personal property return
B. The return had an error that changed the assessment amount

What can I do if I receive a Form 113/PP?

  • You have thirty (30) days from the date on Form 113/PP to file a return if one was never received.
  • You can appeal. You have forty-five (45) days from the date on the form to appeal the change in assessed value.
  • You can do nothing. After the 30/45 days have passed, the assessment will stand with all penalties (if applicable).

Penalties cannot be removed once they are applied.
