INDIANAPOLIS — Ever wonder how the taxes paid to the State of Indiana are used? The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) is embarking on a communications campaign in collaboration with 12 other state agencies throughout 2020 to answer that question.
While DOR administers all state taxes, determining where these funds go is a function of the Indiana Legislature. Once processed, funds collected on behalf of the state are made available to state agencies with the oversight of the State Budget Agency.
DOR will be highlighting a state agency each month throughout 2020 to showcase how the work each agency does is supported by state tax dollars, such as preparing children for kindergarten, preventing pollution of the state’s waterways and helping homeless veterans. In January, the Dept. of Revenue will be highlighted, followed by the Dept. of Natural Resources in February, then the Family and Social Services Administration in March.
DOR’s campaign will be promoted on the agency’s social media platforms, which can be found by searching @INRevenue on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Individuals can also follow the campaign by subscribing to DOR’s Tax Talk Blog at dor.in.gov/3877.htm.
