Do I need to file an extension or is it automatic?

If you cant file by April 15, you have an automatic six-month extension to file your return until October 15. You dont have to file a written request to receive the extension because its paperless.

What happens if I file my Illinois taxes late?

Late Filing Penalty (iii) as a penalty, if the return or report is received more than 30 days after the prescribed due date, $100 or 5% of the tax due, whichever is greater, for each month or part of a month of failure to file, the entire penalty not to exceed $500 or 30% of the tax due, whichever is greater.

Can I file another tax extension after October 15?

Unlike the automatic six-month extension granted in April, the IRS typically does not offer further extensions beyond October 15 for personal tax returns. This deadline represents the absolute cutoff for most filers. Missing it can result in late-filing penalties and interest charges that accumulate over time.
