I need help figuring out my Certification/project number. I'm not sure what this means at all, and it's for the state of Indiana.

Certification or project numbers and PINs can be either all numeric, alpha, or a mixture of numeric and alpha characters.  Enter the certification or project number you received from the authorizing entity.  You can find this number in the certification letter you received from the authorizing entity or on your IN K-1.  If you also have received a PIN, add it to the right of your project number and enter the combined number in this box.

 

For example, express the combined certification or project number “123AN6” and PIN “1B34” as “123AN61B34” in Column C.  Do not include any dashes.

 

You may have a Venture Capital Investment Credit that has no certification number, project number, or PIN associated with it.  If this is the case, enter in Column B the first year you were eligible to claim the credit, and the 3- or 4-digit tax credit code number associated with it in Column D.  Make sure to keep your approval paperwork with your records as the department may request it at a later date.
