General Information

Who must file Form IL-1065-X?
You should file Form IL-1065-X, Amended Partnership Replacement Tax Return, if you are amending a previously filed, processable Form IL-1065, Partnership Replacement Tax Return, for a tax year ending on or after December 31, 2006. Your change can occur from a state or federal change that affects items used to compute your Illinois net income, net loss, or credits, such as

  • an amendment of your federal income tax return,
  • an adjustment made by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or
  • any other recomputation or redetermination.

A separate amended return must be filed for each tax year you need to amend.
What if I need to change my return before the extended due date expires?
If you filed your original Form IL-1065 and a state or federal correction or change needs to be made before the extended due date expires (see the instructions of your original return), you should file Form IL-1065-X. Due to the automatic extension, any return filed after the original return and on or before the extended due date will be treated as the original return.
If you are filing Form IL-1065-X to change the election on your original return to treat all income other than compensation as business income, check the box in Step 1, Line F, and provide a written explanation indicating the change to your election in the "Explain the changes on this return" area of your Form IL-1065-X.
How long do I have to amend my return?
The amount of time you have to amend your return depends on whether your Form IL-1065-X is being filed to report a state or federal change.
Note: If an amended return claiming a credit or refund is filed within six months of the expiration of the statute of limitations, then the statute of limitations will automatically be extended an additional six months for issuing an assessment of additional tax due.
State change - If your change creates or increases the Illinois net loss for the year, you must file Form IL-1065-X showing the increase in order to carry the increased loss amount to another year.
If your change decreases the tax due to Illinois and you are entitled to a refund or credit carryforward, you must file Form IL-1065-X within

  • three years after the due date of the return (including extensions),
  • three years after the date your original return was filed, or
  • one year after the date your Illinois tax was paid, whichever is latest.

If your change increases the tax due to Illinois, you should file Form IL-1065-X and pay the tax, penalty, and interest promptly.
Federal change - Do not file this amended return until you receive a federal finalization notification from the IRS stating that they have accepted your change, either by paying a refund, or by final assessment, agreement, or judgment. In order to process an amended return due to a federal change, the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) requires proof of federal finalization. Proof of federal finalization includes one or more of the following:

  • a copy of your federal audit report (signed and dated by a federal auditor);
  • an IRS account transcript; or
  • a federal refund check.

Note: Acknowledgement that the IRS received your amended return is not acceptable proof of federal finalization.
If your federal change decreases the tax due to Illinois and you are entitled to a refund or credit carryforward, you must file Form IL-1065-X within two years plus 120 days of federal finalization.
If your federal change increases the tax due to Illinois, you must file Form IL-1065-X and pay any additional tax within 120 days of IRS partial agreement or finalization. In order to avoid late payment penalties, you must pay any additional tax to IDOR and attach proof of the federal finalization date, showing the change was reported to Illinois within 120 days of IRS acceptance, or you may be assessed a late-payment penalty.
Note: If you fail to notify us of your change by filing Form IL-1065-X, we may issue a notice of deficiency at any time. Once you file your change, we may issue a notice of deficiency within two years.
What if I am amending my return due to multiple federal adjustments?
If you are amending your original Form IL-1065 due to multiple federal adjustments that were finalized on different dates, then you must complete separate amended Illinois returns for each federal finalization date. For example, if you receive a 2025 return adjustment from the IRS on July 10, 2026, then in August 2026, you amend your federal Form 1065 and receive federal finalization on October 22, 2026, then you must submit one Form IL-1065-X for the July 10, 2026, adjustments and a separate Form IL-1065-X for the October 22, 2026, adjustments.
Failure to file separate amended returns for each federal finalization date may result in the denial of the entire claim, a delay in processing, or the assessment of penalty and interest.
Note: Proof of federal finalization must be attached to your amended return before the return will be processed.

What if my amended return involves unitary filing?
If you are amending your original

  • non-unitary Form IL-1065 to be included in an existing unitary group and are required to file Schedule UB, Combined Apportionment for Unitary Business Group, you must file an amended Form IL-1065-X, following the line by line instructions provided for Form IL-1065 and Illinois Schedule UB, for the tax year you are amending. In addition, ○ any combined return filed by the combined group on Form IL-1120 must also be amended to include your information, and ○ each member that filed a separate unitary return must file an amended return to include your information.
  • unitary Form IL-1065 to report a state or federal change to your unitary income and are required to file Schedule UB, any combined return filed by the group or separate unitary return may also need to be amended.

What if my amended return involves an Illinois net loss deduction (NLD)?
If you have an Illinois NLD carryover from any loss year ending on or after December 31, 1986, it is subtracted from and limited to base income allocable to Illinois.
To determine your "Illinois net loss" start with your total unmodified base income and apply all addition and subtraction modifications, and all allocation and apportionment provisions.
If you are carrying an Illinois NLD, you must complete and attach Illinois Schedule NLD, Illinois Net Loss Deduction, and claim the deduction on Step 7, Line 48. See Specific Instructions for Step 7, Line 48.
Do not file Form IL-1065-X to report an Illinois NLD carryforward until after you have filed the loss year Form IL-1065, Form IL-1065-X, or Form IL-843 (for tax years ending prior to December 31, 2006) reporting the loss. When you file Form IL-1065-X, you must attach a completed Illinois Schedule NLD. Failure to attach the correct and completed schedule could result in partial or total denial of your claim.
If you need more information, visit our website at tax.illinois.gov and see the Schedule NLD instructions, or 86 Ill. Adm Code Sections 100.2050 and 100.2300 through 100.2330.
Who should sign the return?
Your Form IL-1065-X must be signed by a partner or any other officer duly authorized to sign the return. In the case of a bankruptcy, a receiver, trustee, or assignee must sign any return required to be filed on behalf of the partnership.
Note: If you are operating as a business organized under the Lloyd's plan of operation, an officer of that plan must sign Form IL-1065-X.
Any person paid to prepare the return (other than a regular, full-time employee of the taxpayer, such as a clerk, secretary, or bookkeeper) must provide a signature, date the return, enter the preparer tax identification number (PTIN) issued to them by the Internal Revenue Service, and provide their firm's name, federal employer identification number (FEIN), address, and phone number.
Can a reasonable facsimile be used?
In general, you must obtain and use forms prescribed by IDOR. Separate statements not on forms provided or approved by IDOR will not be accepted and you will be asked for appropriate documentation. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in failure to file penalties, a delay in the processing of your return, or a delay in the generation of any overpayment. Additionally, failure to submit appropriate documentation when requested may result in a referral to our Audit Bureau for compliance action.
Partnerships must complete Form IL-1065-X. Do not send a computer printout with line numbers and dollar amounts attached to a blank copy of the return. Computer generated printouts are not acceptable, even if they are in the same format as IDOR forms. Computer generated forms from an IDOR-approved software developer are acceptable.
What are the penalties and interest?

  • a late-filing penalty if you do not file a processable return by the extended due date;

Lines 36 and 44 — If you elected to treat all of your income other than compensation as business income on your original tax return, you must follow that election by entering zero on Form IL-1065-X, Lines 36 and 44. If you are filing Form IL-1065-X before the extended due date and are making the election to treat all nonbusiness income as business income, Column B, Lines 36 and 44 should be reduced to zero.

Step 7: Figure your net income

  • if Line 48 is zero, attach a detailed statement to your return that includes: ○ the FEIN of the entity from which you acquired the loss, ○ the reason (e.g., merger) you are allowed to use that entity's losses, and ○ the date you acquired the loss.
  • if Line 48 is greater than zero, report the losses on page 2 of the Schedule NLD that you attach to your return.

Note: Each acquisition must be reported in detail separately. Do not report acquired losses that were previously reported.
Line 52 — The standard exemption is $1,000 multiplied by a fraction in which the numerator is your base income allocable to Illinois and the denominator is your total base income. This figure cannot be greater than "$1,000." The standard exemption is $0.00 if your unmodified base income amount on Step 3, Line 13 is greater than $250,000.
If you have a change in your tax year end, and the result is a tax period of less than 12 months, the standard exemption is prorated based on the number of days in the short tax year. However, if this is your first or final return, you are allowed to use the full-year standard exemption even if it is a short tax year.
Line 53 — If Line 49 is a loss, enter the amount from Line 49 on Line 53. Do not increase your loss by the exemption allowance on Line 52.

Your credit carryforward will not be applied if you do not file a processable return.
If your overpayment accrues interest and you elect to receive your

  • entire overpayment as a credit carryforward, any interest due will be applied with your credit as an additional credit carryforward. We will calculate the amount of interest due and notify you. When you claim your credit carryforward in a future year you must include this interest amount in the amount claimed.
  • overpayment as both a credit carryforward and a refund, we will apply the credit as you request and include any interest due with your refund.

Note: Your credit carryforward may be reduced by us due to corrections we make to your return, or to satisfy any unpaid tax, penalty, and interest due for this year or any other year. If we reduce your credit carryforward, it may result in a late-payment penalty in a subsequent year.
May I apply my credit to a different tax year?
Yes. If you wish to apply your credit to a tax year other than the one described above, you must indicate the tax year to which you wish to have the credit apply in the "Explain the changes on this return" area of your Form IL-1065-X.
If you do not follow these instructions, your election will be considered invalid and we will apply your credit as indicated under "To which tax year will my credit apply?" in the original return instructions.
If you submit a valid request, we will apply your credit as you requested and notify you. Once made, your election to change the tax year to which your credit will apply is irrevocable.
Note: You may only apply your credit to tax years occurring after the year of the return creating the overpayment. If you request to apply more credit than our records show you have available, we will apply the maximum amount available and notify you of the difference.
Line 71 — Follow the instructions on the form. We will calculate any interest that may be due you and include it in your refund check. Any refund may be reduced to satisfy any outstanding liability.
We do not currently offer direct deposit as a method for receiving a refund from an amended return. Overpayments will be refunded by check.
Line 72 — Follow the instructions on the form. This is your amount of tax due that must be paid in full if $1 or more. We encourage you to let us figure your penalties and interest and send you a bill instead of determining these amounts yourself. We will compute any penalty and interest due and notify you. For more information see "What are the penalties and interest?" in these instructions and Publication 103.
Note: We will apply all payments against tax first, penalty second, and interest third.
