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 a federal extension is filed, the extension automatically applies for Indiana plus an additional 30 days (November 14).
A taxpayer may file Form IT-9 with or without payment to request an extension of time to file to November 14.
To avoid a late payment penalty, the taxpayer must (a) pay at least 90% of the amount they expect to owe by the return due date, (b) file by November 14, and (c) pay any remaining balance due then. Interest is due on all amounts paid after the return original due date.
To access Indiana Form IT-9 in TaxSlayer ProWeb, from the Indiana Return menu select

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