Ekadashi in Hoffman Estates: the numbers
Why Hoffman Estates dates can differ from India
Ekadashi is the day on which the 11th tithi is in force at your own sunrise. Sunrise in Hoffman Estates comes about 11½ hours after sunrise in Hyderabad, so the same tithi can be running at sunrise here on the day before it reaches sunrise in India, or start too late for one sunrise and catch the next.
Example: Papankusha Ekadashi. The Ekadashi tithi runs Oct 21, 3:42 AM → Oct 22, 4:19 AM in Hoffman Estates time, so the fast is on Wed, Oct 21 here; in India it is on Thu, Oct 22.

How the parana time is set
The fast is broken on Dwadashi, after sunrise, once Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi) is over and before Dwadashi ends. For Papankusha Ekadashi in Hoffman Estates: Hari Vasara ends Oct 22, 10:16 AM, Dwadashi ends Oct 23, 4:06 AM, so parana is Thu, Oct 22 after 10:16 AM.
Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi
The dates above are Smarta. Vaishnava (ISKCON) practice moves the fast to the next day when Dashami is still running at dawn (Arunodaya, 96 minutes before sunrise). In Hoffman Estates that happens 4 times in the next 12 months: Mokshada Ekadashi (Sun, Dec 20), Jaya Ekadashi (Wed, Feb 17), Aja Ekadashi (Sat, Aug 28), Indira Ekadashi (Sun, Sep 26).
