NOTES
Note 1:
Each domestic corporation and each foreign corporation authorized to transact business in this state, having reported
on its last annual report or if no annual report is on file, on the articles of incorporation of a domestic corporation or on the
application for authority of a foreign corporation, an amount less than 100 percent of its paid-in capital represented in
Illinois, may make an irrevocable, one time election to establish an extended filing month for the purpose of filing annual
reports for all subsequent taxable years.
Note 2:
The extended filing month may be any month in that is one of the nine months consecutively following the end of
the corporation's fiscal year, except that the extended filing month may not be one of the two months immediately preceding
the corporation's anniversary month.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a corporation whose fiscal year ends within the two months immediately preceding
its anniversary month may not elect an extended filing month.
Note 3:
When filing an Interim Annual Report DO NOT complete items 9 or 10. In calculating the interim annual franchise
tax, the corporation must use the factor established from its last annual report or, if no annual report is on file, on the articles
of incorporation of a domestic corporation or on the application for authority of a foreign corporation. This factor appears
beneath the checklist on the preprinted annual report recently mailed to the corporation.
