         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 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. 
         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.
         We will apply all payments against tax first, penalty second, 
and interest third.
If you have a balance due on Line 72, be sure to enter the amount 
you are paying on the top of Page 1 of the Form IL-1065-X.  
Complete a payment voucher, Form IL-1065-X-V, make your check 
or money order payable to “Illinois Department of Revenue”  , and 
attach them to the front of the return or file and pay electronically.
