Where do I make an Automatic Extension of Time to File Payment for Illinois?

Desktop · Written guide Content date 1 min read

Illinois allows an automatic extension to October 15 without filing a form. If the taxpayer receives a federal extension of more than six months, the taxpayer is automatically allowed that extension for Illinois.

To make an extension payment, use Form IL-505-I, Automatic Extension Payment for Individuals.

To access the Illinois Extension Payment, from the main menu of the Illinois state return, select:

  • Miscellaneous Forms
  • IL Extension of Time to File

Note: Electronic filing is not supported for the state extension payment. The federal extension payment may be sent electronically, however the state extension payment will have to be mailed.
