General Tax Return Information
Due Date - Individual Returns - April 15, or same as IRS
Extensions - Interest and Dividend Tax taxpayers are entitled to an automatic seven-month extension to file a return provided they have paid in full the tax determined to be due by the due date. A taxpayer that has not paid the tax determined to be due through estimated payments by the due date, but wishes to receive an extension of time to file their return, must pay the additional amount due on or before the due date using the appropriate extension form. Payment of tax owed in full will avoid the application for extension being denied as well as the assessment of interest and penalties.
A taxpayer that has already paid in full or has no tax due need not file an application for an extension to obtain the automatic seven-month extension to file their return.
Driver’s License/Government Issued Photo Identification - Driver's license or state ID information can be entered with Form DP-10, but it is not required.
