The Ad 19 Form is an affidavit required by the Indiana Department of Revenue for domestic corporations seeking reinstatement of their active status. Any domestic corporation that has lost its active standing in Indiana must complete and submit this affidavit before the Indiana Secretary of State can restore its legal status.
The document requires the corporation's full legal name, the official capacity of the person signing, the date of original incorporation, the principal office address, and both Federal and Indiana tax identification numbers. The signing officer must affirm that all Indiana taxable income received since May 1, 1933 has been included in state income tax returns and that all taxes due have been paid in full.
Corporations may lose active status for reasons such as failure to file annual reports, failure to pay state fees, or noncompliance with Indiana tax obligations. Once a corporation loses its good standing, it cannot legally conduct business in the state, enter into contracts, or initiate legal actions until reinstatement is approved. Restoring active status requires demonstrating to the Indiana Department of Revenue that the corporation is fully compliant with state tax law.
After submitting the affidavit, the Indiana Department of Revenue reviews the filing to verify tax compliance. If the review is successful, the Indiana Secretary of State restores the corporation to active status. Completing this document accurately is critical, as incomplete or incorrect submissions can result in delays or rejection of the reinstatement application.
