Here are six common misconceptions about the Indiana Prop 1 form:

• Only Indiana-based businesses need to fill out the form. This is not true. Non-Indiana based corporations must also complete the form if they operate in Indiana.
• The Prop 1 form is only for large trucking companies. In reality, any business that operates vehicles for commercial purposes may need to use this form, regardless of size.
• Submitting the form is optional. This is a misconception. Completing and submitting the Prop 1 form is necessary to qualify for proportional use credits.
• Once submitted, the certification is permanent. This is misleading. While certification is valid for subsequent calendar years, carriers must apply for certification each year before April 1 to claim credits.
• Only the owner must sign the form. This is incorrect. An authorized agent can also sign the application, but it must be signed by someone with the authority to do so.
• The application fee is refundable. This is a misconception. The $7.00 fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether the application is approved or denied.
