Bill Summary

Partnership composite returns. Removes penalty provisions that apply if a pass through entity fails to include in a composite return nonresident partners, nonresident shareholders, or nonresident beneficiaries that do not have distributive share income of greater than $0. Makes conforming changes.

AI Summary

This bill amends Indiana tax law to remove penalties for pass-through entities, such as partnerships, that fail to include nonresident partners, shareholders, or beneficiaries in their composite tax returns if those individuals or entities do not have any income from Indiana sources greater than zero dollars ($0). A "pass-through entity" is a business structure like a partnership or S-corporation where profits and losses are passed through to the owners' personal income without being taxed at the entity level. A "composite return" is a single tax return filed by the pass-through entity on behalf of its nonresident owners, simplifying tax compliance for them. The bill clarifies that the penalty will not apply if the nonresident owner has no taxable income from Indiana sources, and it makes conforming changes to related tax code sections.
