The county's page: "Our office provides assistance to veterans in filing claims for their veteran's benefits. We assist veterans, their spouses, and their dependents on questions about benefits and provide information regarding eligibility requirements. We assist with both State and Federal VA benefits." And: "Our office has all the forms and other information you may need to obtain service from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the State of Indiana."

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.
