If you are approved for a federal tax extension, the State of Illinois will automatically grant you a 6-month tax extension. If you owe money for income taxes you'll need to submit Illinois Form IL-505-I (PDF).

Filing for an Illinois tax extension will not grant you extra time to pay any tax balance due. Your balance must be paid by April 15 to avoid possible penalties.

If you already received an approval notification from ExpressExtension, and you don't need to make a tax payment, then you're all done.

For more information, visit the State of Illinois Department of Revenue website.
