If federal Form 4868 was filed with the IRS, West Virginia automatically allows the same extension of time to October 15 to file the West Virginia tax return.
If you are paper filing the West Virginia tax return, write “Federal Extension Granted” and the confirmation number at the top of the West Virginia return, enter the extended due date, and attach a copy of federal Form 4868.
To pay any tax due or request an extension if a federal extension was not requested, file Form WV 4868, Application for Extension of Time to File.
To access the Form WV 4868, from the main menu of the West Virginia state return select:
- Miscellaneous Forms
- Application for Extension
Note: Electronic filing is not supported for the state extension. The federal extension may be sent electronically, however the state extension will have to be mailed.
