Indiana RG-RECAP

This article explains the monthly reporting requirements for Indiana gaming establishments regarding wagering tax remittances.

The Indiana Department of Revenue Form RG-RECAP, officially known as the Monthly Tax Report, is a specialized document designed exclusively for riverboat and racino licensees operating within the state. This form serves as the official monthly reporting mechanism through which gaming establishments reconcile and transmit their wagering tax obligations to the state treasury. The report is structured to capture three distinct categories of wagering taxes: sports wagering tax, supplemental wagering tax, and general wagering tax, each calculated based on gaming activities throughout the reporting month. The form requires licensees to provide a comprehensive day-by-day breakdown of all taxable gaming revenue, ensuring transparency and accurate tax collection. It includes provisions for adjustments as specified under Indiana Code or as directed by the Indiana Gaming Commission. The submission deadline is strict and coincides with the payment due date, which falls on the 24th day of each month. By signing this document, the licensee certifies under penalty that all reported information is truthful and complete to the best of their knowledge.

How To File The Report

This monthly tax report must be submitted on the same day that you transmit your monthly tax payment, which is always the 24th of each month. You have the option to complete and file this return electronically through the Indiana Department of Revenue’s e-services portal called INTIME, accessible at intime.dor.in.gov. If you prefer to file by mail, you can send the completed form to the Indiana Department of Revenue, Special Tax Section, P.O. Box 2485, Indianapolis, IN 46206-2485. For questions or assistance, you may contact the Special Tax Section at 317-615-2710. The report consists of two pages: page two contains the itemized daily recap where you record each gaming day’s tax amounts, and page one summarizes those totals along with any adjustments.
