How to best handle IL-2210 when e-filing using FreeTaxUSA

Filed 2023 taxes with FreeTaxUSA and 2210 was included for federal return but not IL-2210 for Illinois return. Because of this, IL DOR assessed underpayment penalty for the 2023 IL tax return even though we paid estimated equal to 110% of the previous year's taxes. Since we are not able to file the IL-2210 when e-filing the Illinois return, should we fill a paper IL-2210 and mail it in as soon as we e-file the Illinois return? Or is there a better way to handle this? Thank you.

    The Illinois Department of Revenue actually indicates that they encourage taxpayers to let them figure out your penalties for you and send you the bill rather than completing the IL-2210 yourself. If you do choose to file the form when it is not included in your account it would need to be included with the tax return you file, you would need to file your IL tax return via mail and include the IL-2210 with the paper filing.
