What is the Indiana economic nexus threshold in 2026?

For 2026, Indiana's economic nexus threshold is $100,000, in effect since 2024-01-01. That dollar figure is only half the rule: the measurement base it applies to and the lookback window it is measured over are set separately by Indiana and are published by the Indiana Department of Revenue.

What is the current Indiana economic nexus threshold?

$100,000, effective since 2024-01-01. Sales you make through a marketplace facilitator are excluded from a seller's own threshold count in many states, but that exclusion is a per-state rule rather than a national one — confirm it for Indiana before you remove marketplace revenue from your tracking.

What counts toward the Indiana threshold?

It depends on the measurement base Indiana chose, and states differ. Some count total combined sales of tangible personal property including nontaxable sales (California's $500,000 test works this way), some count only retail sales, and some count only taxable sales (Florida's remote-seller test works this way). Read the base off the Indiana Department of Revenue's own guidance rather than assuming gross revenue.

What lookback period does Indiana use for economic nexus?

Lookback windows are not uniform across US states, and four different patterns are in use: a rolling preceding 12 calendar months (Texas), the preceding or current calendar year (California), the immediately preceding four sales tax quarters (New York), and the previous calendar year only (Florida). Because the window decides when you cross on identical revenue, confirm Indiana's window with the Indiana Department of Revenue instead of applying a generic rolling-12-month rule.

When do I have to register after crossing the Indiana threshold?

Registration deadlines after crossing are set by each state separately and are not uniform, so Indiana's exact date is one to confirm with the Indiana Department of Revenue. What is consistent across states is the direction of the risk: back-tax exposure accrues on sales made after you crossed, so the cost of registering late grows with every IN order you ship.

If your Thresholds business sells $100,000 into Indiana in a calendar year, you have economic nexus and must register, collect, and remit Indiana sales tax.

Indiana's economic nexus threshold, in detail

The current Indiana threshold is $100,000, in effect since 2024-01-01.

A threshold is two numbers, not one: the dollar figure above, and the measurement base it is applied to. States do not use the same base — some count total combined sales of tangible personal property including nontaxable sales, some count only retail sales, and some count only taxable sales. That choice can move you across the line months earlier or later on identical revenue, and it is published by the state, not inferable from the dollar amount. Confirm Indiana’s base with the Indiana Department of Revenue before you compute. Sales made through a marketplace facilitator are excluded from the seller’s own count in many states but not all — that too is a per-state rule.

Lookback periods: the four patterns states actually use

There is no single national lookback period. Four distinct patterns are in use, and each is written into that state’s own guidance — this site does not publish a lookback period for Indiana because a wrong window would put you on the wrong side of the line. These four official examples show how far apart the patterns sit:

Preceding 12 calendar months (rolling). Texas: “total Texas revenue greater than $500,000 in the preceding 12 calendar months” — Texas Comptroller publication 94-108, date_retrieved: 2026-07-20.
Preceding OR current calendar year. California: $500,000 in total combined sales of tangible personal property for delivery in California “during the preceding or current calendar year” — so a mid-year surge triggers registration in that same year. CDTFA Wayfair guidance, date_retrieved: 2026-07-20.
Immediately preceding four sales tax quarters. New York: gross receipts over $500,000 and more than 100 sales of tangible personal property delivered into the state, measured across the four preceding sales tax quarters rather than a calendar year — NYS Department of Taxation and Finance, date_retrieved: 2026-07-20.
Previous calendar year only. Florida: taxable remote Florida sales over $100,000 in the previous calendar year, with no transaction-count test — Florida DOR registration guidance, date_retrieved: 2026-06-09.

Registration deadlines after you cross are set separately by each state and are not uniform — confirm both the Indiana lookback window and the date collection must begin with the Indiana Department of Revenue.

Common threshold-tracking mistakes

Assuming one lookback window across every state. A seller who tracks all 50 states on a calendar year misses the rolling and four-quarter states entirely, and a seller who tracks everything on a rolling 12 months registers early in the previous-calendar-year states.
Applying the wrong measurement base — counting only taxable sales in a state whose test is total combined sales, or the reverse. Read the base off the state’s own guidance before you build the spreadsheet.
Including collected tax in “gross sales”. The threshold uses pre-tax revenue; double-counting tax in the threshold figure can prematurely trigger registration.
Assuming that falling below the threshold ends the obligation. Once you hold a permit the filing duty attaches to the permit, and whether (and when) you may close the account is a Indiana DOR determination, not an automatic reset.

Indiana nexus note

Indiana sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: more than $100,000 in gross revenue from sales into Indiana in the current or preceding calendar year. Effective January 1, 2024, Indiana removed its prior 200-transaction test; the state now uses a sales-only threshold. Indiana DOR Sales Tax Information Bulletin #89 says the threshold includes tangible personal property delivered into Indiana, products transferred electronically into Indiana, and services delivered in Indiana, including exempt sales and wholesale transactions. Services are sourced to Indiana when the buyer first uses them in Indiana, but a seller that provides only nontaxable services generally is not required to register solely because it crosses the threshold. Marketplace facilitators count both their own Indiana sales and facilitated marketplace sales toward the $100,000 threshold; marketplace sellers generally exclude sales made through registered marketplaces from their own Indiana threshold test unless the marketplace facilitator has not met the threshold. Indiana's statewide sales tax rate is 7%, with no local sales-tax add-on, and remote sellers with less than $1,000 in annual Indiana sales-tax collections generally file annually. Indiana DOR source data last retrieved 2026-06-01.
