Steuben County Auditor: the Disabled Veteran Deduction Sheets (Out of Date)

The sheets. The Auditor's Forms page posts the "Disabled Veteran Deduction Application Process" (revised March 17, 2020; "Filing deadline - December 31st"), which asks for an Indiana ID, "State form from VA 51186 (Contact Alex Dobson Veterans Affairs Office at 260-668-1000 x 1060 in regards to getting this form completed)", the DD-214 and, for a surviving spouse, proof the veteran was eligible at death, sent to "Steuben County Auditor's Office, 317 S Wayne Street, Suite 2-J, Angola IN 46703 Attn: Deductions Department" with a stamped envelope; and the "Reference sheet for the Disabled Veteran Tax Deduction": "SEC 13 DEDUCTION AMOUNT $24,960" for a wartime veteran with a 10% service-connected disability, and "SEC 14 DEDUCTION AMOUNT $14,000" for a veteran with a total disability or 62 and at least 10% disabled, with "No one is entitled to this deduction if the assessed value of the individual's tangible property, as shown by the tax duplicate, exceeds $200,000." The Forms page also posts an old copy of State Form 51186. What is out of date. Under House Enrolled Act 1210 of 2026 a totally disabled veteran's home is deducted at 100% of its assessed value, the other lines became the $350 and $250 credits, and the assessed-value caps are gone (the Indiana entries). File State Form 12662 with the County Auditor by January 15, 2027 for taxes due in 2027; a totally disabled veteran who had the old $14,000 deduction must file again to get the new 100% deduction, or the county applies only the $250 credit. The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs says State Form 51186 "is no longer used", and the service officer can complete the form's Section VIII certificate. See the Indiana entries on the 100 percent deduction and the $350 and $250 credits. Where.
