You must get an extension of time to file if you are required to file a 2011 Indiana individual income tax return, but cannot file by the April 17, 2012 due date. Whether you owe additional tax, are due a refund or are breaking even, you still need to file for an extension.
If you owe…
To get a valid extension, you must file Form IT-9, and send in a payment of at least 90% of the tax expected to be due, by April 17, 2012. This will extend your time to file to June 18, 2012.
If you don’t owe…
If you are due a refund, or don’t expect to owe any tax when filing your tax return, and you are unable to file by April 17, 2012, you’ll still need to file for an extension. There are two ways to accomplish this:
• If you have a valid federal extension, Form 4868, you automatically have an extension with Indiana and do not need to file Form IT-9.
• If you do not have a federal extension, complete Form IT-9, Part 2: Nonpayment Information. Mail this in by April 17, 2012.
Extension Period
Form IT-9 extends your filing time to June 18, 2012. Federal exten-sion Form 4868 extends your Indiana filing time to Nov. 19, 2012.
Penalty will not be due if you:
• file within the extension period;
• paid at least 90% of the tax you expect to owe by April 17, 2012, and
• pay any remaining amount due when you file.
Interest is due on all amounts paid after the April 17, 2012 due date.
File Online
