IL-990-T-X

This guide explains how to correctly complete Form IL-990-T-X — the amended Illinois Exempt Organization Income and Replacement Tax Return — line by line, so you can confidently file corrections or adjustments to your organization’s previously filed Illinois tax return.

Form IL-990-T-X, officially called the Amended Exempt Organization Income and Replacement Tax Return, is issued by the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) and used by tax-exempt organizations to amend previously filed Form IL-990-T returns. This form applies to tax years ending on or after December 31, 2024.

If your organization discovers an error or receives a federal or state adjustment affecting its Illinois return, you must file Form IL-990-T-X to report the corrected information. The form ensures that the state records accurately reflect your corrected income, tax, credits, and payments. You’ll also use it if you receive a federal change notice that impacts your Illinois tax calculation.

Only use this version for tax years ending December 31, 2024, or later; earlier years require older versions. The form also requires clear explanation of the corrections being made, including attached documentation where necessary. It is designed for corporations and trusts that are tax-exempt federally but owe Illinois income and replacement taxes on unrelated business income.

How To File Form IL-990-T-X

You can file Form IL-990-T-X by mailing the completed document to:
Illinois Department of Revenue
P.O. Box 19016, Springfield, IL 62794-9016
.

If you owe additional tax (line 38), include your payment with Form IL-990-T-X-V (Payment Voucher). Make the check or money order payable to “Illinois Department of Revenue”, and write your FEIN, tax year ending, and “IL-990-T-X-V” on it. Attach the payment and voucher to the front of Form IL-990-T-X.

If the change results in a refund or credit, you’ll indicate this in Step 6. Attach all supporting schedules, such as federal finalization notices, Schedules K-1, IL-477, or 4255, as required.
