Form IT-9: Application for Extension of Time to File Instructions
Who should get an extension of time to file? You must get an extension of time to file if you are required to file a 2025 Indiana individual income tax return, but cannot file by the April 15, 2026 due date.
Whether you owe additional tax, are due a refund, or are breaking even, you still need to file for an extension.
How to get an extension of time to file.
If you filed for a federal extension of time to file (Form 4868) by April 15, 2026, then you automatically have an extension with Indiana. If not, you may file Form IT-9 to request an extension with Indiana.
Filing due date. Both the federal extension (Form 4868) and Indiana extension (Form IT-9) extend the time to file your Indiana tax return to Nov. 16, 2026.
What if you owe? Filing for an extension does not also extend the deadline for paying any tax due. If you expect to owe when you file your tax return, you should pay at least 90% of the amount you expect to owe by the April 15, 2026 original due date. You may make a payment with the filing of Form IT-9 or online. Simply visit DOR's e-services portal,the Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine (INTIME), at intime.dor.in.gov. Making a payment online will be considered to be filing for an extension, and will extend your time to file to Nov. 16, 2026).
Interest is due on all amounts paid after the April 15, 2026 due date.
Penalty will not be due if you:

  • File by Nov. 16, 2026;
  • Paid at least 90% of the tax you expected to owe by April 15, 2026, and
  • Pay any remaining amount due when you file.
