Original deadline: March 16, 2026 Extended to: September 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Illinois LLC & Partnership Tax Extension

Illinois LLCs and partnerships subject to the Personal Property Replacement Tax (PPRT) file with the Illinois Department of Revenue. Illinois grants an automatic 6-month extension to any LLC or partnership that holds an approved federal IRS Form 7004–no separate Illinois extension form is required.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
PPRT Due March 16 – The extension covers your filing deadline only. Any Illinois LLC or partnership tax owed must be remitted by March 16, 2026 to avoid late-payment penalties. Note that March 15 falls on a Sunday in 2026, shifting the due date one day forward.

How the Extension Works

Once your federal Form 7004 is approved by the IRS, your Illinois LLC or partnership return is automatically extended to September 15, 2026. Submit any Illinois PPRT owed using IL-1065-V | Payment Voucher for Partnership Replacement Tax by March 16, 2026, or pay electronically through MyTax Illinois. Mail payments to: Illinois Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 19053, Springfield, IL 62794-9053.

Illinois’s Personal Property Replacement Tax is assessed at 1.5% of net income for partnerships and LLCs taxed as partnerships. Ensuring your PPRT estimate is accurate helps minimize any balance due by March 16.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 to automatically activate your Illinois extension–no state form needed.
  • Pay any Illinois PPRT with IL-1065-V by March 16, 2026.
  • Use MyTax Illinois for secure online payment and instant confirmation.
  • File your completed Illinois LLC or partnership return by September 15, 2026.

Illinois Business Tax Extension – S Corporation

IL-1065-V | Payment Voucher for Partnership Replacement Tax  •  S Corporation
Original deadline: March 16, 2026 Extended to: September 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Illinois S Corporation Tax Extension

Illinois S corporations–which are subject to the state’s replacement tax–file with the Illinois Department of Revenue. Illinois ties its business extension program to the federal process: an approved IRS Form 7004 automatically extends the Illinois S corporation deadline by 6 months to September 15, 2026, with no separate state filing required.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
Tax Payment Due March 16 – Your filing extension moves the return due date, not the payment due date. Full Illinois S corporation tax must be paid by March 16, 2026 to avoid penalties and interest accrual.

How the Extension Works

Secure an approved federal extension via IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 and Illinois automatically honors it–no additional state form is required. Remit any Illinois S corporation tax using IL-1120-V | Payment Voucher for Corporation Income and Replacement Tax by March 16, or pay through MyTax Illinois. Mail payments to: Illinois Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 19038, Springfield, IL 62794-9038. File the completed return by September 15, 2026.

Illinois imposes a combined 9.5% income and replacement tax rate on S corporation income apportioned to Illinois. Reviewing your quarterly estimated tax payments can help gauge whether a balance will be owed by March 16.

Best Practices

  • Obtain an approved IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026–Illinois will automatically extend your S corporation return to September 15, 2026.
  • Remit Illinois S corporation taxes with IL-1120-V by March 16, 2026.
  • Electronic payments via MyTax Illinois post faster than mailed vouchers and generate a confirmation number.
  • File your completed Illinois S corporation return by September 15, 2026.

Illinois Business Tax Extension – C Corporation

IL-1065-V | Payment Voucher for Partnership Replacement Tax  •  C Corporation
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: November 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Illinois C Corporation Tax Extension

Illinois C corporations pay corporate income and replacement taxes to the Illinois Department of Revenue. An approved federal IRS Form 7004 extends the Illinois C corporation filing deadline by 6 months–from April 15 to November 15, 2026–without any separate state extension application.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline November 15, 2026
Corporate Tax Due April 15 – The extension is strictly for filing. Illinois corporate income and replacement tax owed must be paid by April 15, 2026 or the failure-to-pay penalty clock begins immediately.

How the Extension Works

File IRS Form 7004 with the IRS before April 15, 2026 and Illinois automatically honors the 6-month extension. Pay any Illinois corporate tax using IL-1120-V | Payment Voucher for Corporation Income and Replacement Tax by April 15, or pay electronically through MyTax Illinois. Mail payments to Illinois Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 19038, Springfield, IL 62794-9038. Your completed Illinois C corporation return is due November 15, 2026.

Illinois corporate income tax is levied at 9.5% of Illinois net income (7% income tax plus 2.5% replacement tax). Confirming that prior-year estimated payments were accurate can help reduce April 15 exposure.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before April 15, 2026 to trigger Illinois’s automatic 6-month C corporation extension to November 15, 2026.
  • Pay Illinois corporate tax with IL-1120-V by April 15, 2026–no additional Illinois form is required.

Illinois Business Tax Extension – Fiduciary / Estate / Trust

IL-1065-V | Payment Voucher for Partnership Replacement Tax  •  Fiduciary / Estate / Trust
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Illinois Fiduciary Tax Extension

Illinois estates and trusts with fiduciary income tax obligations report to the Illinois Department of Revenue. Illinois grants fiduciary filers the same federal-tied extension benefit–an approved IRS Form 8868 automatically extends the Illinois fiduciary filing deadline from April 15 to October 15, 2026 without any state form required.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
Fiduciary Tax Due April 15 – The extension moves the filing deadline only. Any Illinois fiduciary income tax owed by the estate or trust must be remitted by April 15, 2026 to avoid late-payment penalties and interest charges.

How the Extension Works

File IRS Form 8868 with the IRS before April 15, 2026 and Illinois automatically extends the fiduciary return to October 15, 2026–no separate state extension form is needed. Submit any fiduciary tax payment using IL-1041-V | Payment Voucher for Fiduciary Income and Replacement Tax by April 15, or pay through MyTax Illinois. Mail payments to: Illinois Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 19053, Springfield, IL 62794-9053.

Illinois fiduciary returns cover estates and trusts with Illinois-source income. The failure-to-pay penalty escalates from 2% for amounts up to 30 days past due to 10% for balances more than 30 days overdue, making timely April 15 payment especially important.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 8868 by April 15, 2026 to activate Illinois’s automatic 6-month fiduciary extension to October 15, 2026.
  • Remit any Illinois fiduciary tax with IL-1041-V by April 15, 2026–the extension does not defer this obligation.
  • Pay online at MyTax Illinois for a timestamped payment confirmation.
  • File the completed Illinois fiduciary return by October 15, 2026 to avoid the failure-to-file penalty.
