If a taxpayer cannot file by the return due date, he or she must file for an extension regardless of whether they owe additional tax or are due a refund. If they filed a federal extension, it automatically applies to Indiana plus an additional 30 days to November 15.
Form IT-9 clan be filed with or without payment to request an extension of time to file to November 15.
To avoid a late payment penalty, the taxpayer must (a) pay at least 90% of the amount expected to be owed by the return due date, (b) file the return by November 15, and (c) pay any remaining balance due by November 15. Interest is due on all amounts paid after the return's original due date.
To access the Indiana Form IT-9, from the Indiana state return menu select
- Miscellaneous Forms
- Indiana Extension of Time to File
- Enter Extension
Note: Electronic filing is not supported for the state extension payment. The federal extension payment may be sent electronically, but the state extension payment will have to be mailed.
