How Marion County (Indianapolis) taxes your pay

Indianapolis and Marion County share one government, so the county rate is the Indianapolis rate. Indiana sets local income tax by county, and the county that counts is the one you lived in on January 1. Move to Hamilton County in March and Marion County still applies for the rest of that year.

If you live outside Indiana and work in Indianapolis, Marion County tax is still withheld, because Indiana uses the county where you work on January 1 for people who live out of state.
