tax accounts may be placed on inactive status.

Column 3, End Date — Enter the date you want the inactive status to end. The end date cannot be more than two years from the start date.
Signature, Filing, & Payment Requirements:  This form must be signed and sent to the Department of Taxation. An unsigned form 
will not be accepted. All required periodic (monthly, quarterly, or semiannual) and annual tax returns must be filed for periods prior to the 
start of the inactive period and all taxes due paid in full. If the required returns and taxes due are not filed and paid in full, your request to 
place your tax account on inactive status will be denied.
You must continue to file annual tax returns when your tax account is placed on inactive status. However, you do not need to file periodic 
tax returns. You must reactivate your tax account and file a periodic return if you receive any income from business activity while your tax 
account is on inactive status. You may reactivate your tax account at any time by notifying the Department in writing or by filing a periodic 
tax return. You may extend the inactive period for an additional two years, for a total of four years, by submitting another Form L-9 prior to 
the expiration of your inactive status.
