Indiana SF-IVP

Streamline your fuel import compliance with this straightforward, line-by-line guide to Indiana Form SF-IVP, officially designated as the Importer Verification Payment Voucher.

Indiana Form SF-IVP, officially designated as the Importer Verification Payment Voucher (State Form 46635), is a specialized tax document required by the Indiana Department of Revenue for entities transporting large quantities of special fuel into the state. Specifically, this form is mandatory for any person who imports special fuel from another state into Indiana using a vehicle with a tank capacity exceeding 5,400 gallons, provided they have not already established a tax pre-collection agreement with their supplier or permissive supplier. The primary purpose of this form is to ensure that the appropriate fuel taxes and inspection fees are paid promptly on these bulk imports. Before entering the state, importers must obtain a unique Import Verification Number, and this form serves as the accompanying payment voucher to remit the taxes due. It acts as a critical checkpoint for the state to monitor fuel movement and revenue collection, ensuring that importers who operate outside of standard pre-payment agreements are still compliant with Indiana’s fuel tax laws.

How To File Indiana Form SF-IVP

You must file this voucher and remit your payment within three business days of either receiving your Import Verification Number or the moment the fuel actually crosses into Indiana—whichever happens first. You must submit a separate voucher for every single Import Verification Number you obtain; you cannot bundle them.

There are two main ways to file:

  1. Electronically (Preferred): You can complete the form and make payments online via the INTIME e-services portal (intime.dor.in.gov).
  2. By Mail: You can mail the completed paper form and payment to:
    Indiana Department of Revenue
    Special Tax Division
    P.O. Box 6080
    Indianapolis, IN 46206-6080
