I teach online for Indiana but live in the state of Texas, do I need to file taxes for Indiana?

No, you are not required to file an Indiana (IN) tax return because you were not physically present in IN while doing your work. File a return as a full year nonresident for a full refund if your employer is withholding IN state tax from your wages.

According to the Indiana (IN) Department of Revenue, you are required to file a return as a nonresident.

• If you were a full-year nonresident of Indiana, but received any income from Indiana sources, you must file your Indiana income taxes.

Indiana income includes income from the following sources:

1. Winnings from Indiana riverboats, pari-mutuel wagering, and lotteries;

2. Labor or services performed in Indiana, including salaries, wages, tips, commissions, etc.;

3. A farm, business, trade or profession doing business in Indiana;

4. Any personal property located in Indiana;

5. A partnership or an S corporation doing business in Indiana;

6. Stocks, bonds, notes, bank deposits, patents, copyrights, secret processes and formulas, goodwill, trademarks, trade brands, franchises, and other property where earnings are a part of an Indiana business;

7. Trusts and estates given to nonresident heirs; and

8. Pensions and most interest and dividends are taxed by your state of residence when you receive them
