Form 103 Long PDF Details

Filing the Business Tangible Personal Property Assessment Return, known as Form 103 Long, is a critical process for businesses operating within Indiana. Due March 1st annually, this form plays a pivotal role in the taxation process for tangible personal property owned, held, possessed, or controlled by businesses. It demands precise and comprehensive disclosure of such properties to ensure accurate tax assessment. The form, which intricacies are governed by the Department of Local Government Finance, mandates completion in conjunction with Form 104 for a seamless tax reporting process. Attention to deadlines is paramount, with submissions due by May 15th, although a thirty-day extension can be requested under specific conditions. Form 103 Long encompasses various segments including taxpayer information, the nature of the business through NAICS codes, detailed inventories of depreciable personal property, and special considerations for leased or rented items to avoid double assessment pitfalls. This form also integrates confidentiality protocols, underscored by the confidentiality notice, to protect sensitive business information. Moreover, stringent penalties await those who navigate this process carelessly, underscoring the necessity for accuracy and timeliness. The penalties include basic late submission fees and escalate to more severe fines for underreporting the value of assessable property. By guiding taxpayers through detailed instructions, the form ensures that businesses can accurately report their taxable property, thus contributing to the equitable distribution of tax responsibilities among Indiana’s business entities.

If

taxpayer answers "yes" to question 5, the owner must file Form 103-O and the possessor must file Form 103-N. Failure to properly disclose lease information may

result in a double assessment. (See 50 IAC 4.2-2 and 50 IAC 4.2-8).

Duplicate Return Requirement. Every taxpayer whose total combined assessed value of business personal property in a single taxing district is $150,000 or more must file each return in duplicate including the confidential returns and schedules attached thereto. (IC 6-1.1-3-7 (c))

Failure to file a return on or before the due date, as required by law, will result in the imposition of a twenty-five dollar ($25) penalty. In addition, if the return is not filed within thirty (30) days after such return is due, a penalty equal to twenty percent (20%) of the taxes finally determined to be due with respect to the property which should have been reported will be imposed. A personal property return is not due until the expiration of any extension period granted by the assessing official under IC 6-1.1- 3-7 (b). If the total assessed value that a person reports on a personal property return is less than the total assessed value that the person is required by law to report and if the amount of the undervaluation exceeds five percent (5%) of the value that should have been reported on the return, then the county auditor shall add a penalty of twenty percent (20%) of the additional taxes finally determined to be due as a result of the undervaluation.

In completing a personal property return for a year, a taxpayer must make a complete disclosure of all information relating to the value, nature or location of personal

property owned, held, possessed or controlled on the assessment date. (IC 6-1.1-3-9 (a)). This information would include, but not be limited to, completion of the heading and related information, answers to all questions on the face of the return, and entries on all of the appropriate lines of Schedule A. If such information is not provided, the taxpayer will be contacted and directed to provide that information. In addition, a penalty of $25 may be imposed. (IC 6-1.1-37-7(d))

Filing Basics:

Every person owning, holding, possessing, or controlling personal property in Indiana on March 1st is required to file a form by May 15th.

Taxpayers may request up to a thirty (30) day extension of time to file their return. The written request should be sent to the assessor before the filing deadline of May 15th and should include a reason for the request. The assessor has the authority to approve, deny, or set a different deadline of less than thirty (30) days for each request received.

Personal property must be assessed in each taxing district where property has a tax situs. Inventory located in the State of Indiana is exempt and is not required to be reported.

It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to obtain forms from the assessor and file a timely return. The forms are also available on-line at the department’s website. www.in.gov/dlgf

If you hold, possess, or control not-owned personal property on the assessment date, you have a liability for the taxes imposed for that year unless you establish that the property is to be assessed to the owner. This is done by completing a Form 103-N, attaching it to the Form 103 - Long, and filing it with the assessor. NOTE: Failure to properly disclose lease information may result in a double assessment.

Taxpayers who discover an error was made on their original timely filed personal property tax return have the right to file an amended return. The amended return must be filed within six (6) months of the due date or the extended due date (if up to a thirty (30) day extension was granted) of their original return.

Frequently Asked Questions:

A.How do I find out my Taxing District Name & Number?

You will need to contact your County Assessor for assistance since heavily populated areas can have several taxing districts within a single township.

B.How do I find out my NAICS number?

This 6 digit code number appears on the federal returns filed for businesses. For a complete list of the codes, go to www.census.gov.

C.Will my local assessor fill this form out for me?

Indiana’s personal property tax system is a self-assessment system. An assessor can offer assistance with the filing; however, an authorized person representing the business must sign the form under penalties of perjury that it is true and correct so the responsibility of filing an accurate return remains with the taxpayer.

D.How can I find contact information for the various county offices (Assessor, Auditor, or Treasurer) throughout the State of Indiana, locate forms or learn more about Indiana’s personal property tax system? Go to the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance’s website at www.in.gov/dlgf.

INFORMATION OF NOT-OWNED PERSONAL PROPERTY WHICH IS TO BE ASSESSED TO THE OWNER

NOTE: This form is for the reporting of two or less Operating Leases. For all other leases, the Form 103-N (for the lessee) and the Form 103-O (for the lessor) should be utilized. For more information on the reporting of leased equipment, refer to 50 IAC 4.2-8. Failure to properly disclose lease information may result in a double assessment.
