Will my heirs pay any tax on what they inherit in Indiana?

Not a Indiana state death tax — Indiana has no estate or inheritance tax. Inherited assets are generally not treated as taxable income to the heir at the federal level either, though income later earned on those assets (interest, dividends, gains) is taxable. Very large estates may owe federal estate tax. (Source: Tax Foundation 2025.)

What about federal estate tax?

This page covers Indiana state-level death taxes only. Separately, the federal estate tax applies to estates above $13,990,000 per person for 2025 (with portability between spouses), at federal rates up to 40%. Most estates fall under the federal exemption. (Source: IRS; Tax Foundation 2025.)

Important: Indiana has no state estate tax and no inheritance tax for 2025 (its inheritance tax was repealed effective 2013). This covers state-level death taxes only — it excludes the federal estate tax (exemption $13,990,000 per person for 2025) and gift tax. Estate tax is paid by the estate; inheritance tax is paid by the beneficiary. Verify current figures with the Indiana Department of Revenue. This is not tax or legal advice.
