Description of Program and Relief
Extension for Personal State Tax Returns
Personal income tax returns and payments that would be due on April 15, 2020 will now be due on July 15, 2020. The new due date applies to personal income tax, fiduciary income tax, trust income tax, and income tax due with a partnership composite return that has an April 15, 2020 due date (personal income taxpayers). It also applies to an April 2020 tax installment owed by a personal income taxpayer for repatriated income. Taxpayers who have filed their 2019 returns but have not yet made any required payments have until July 15, 2020 to make the payments.
The first and second installments of estimated tax, which would be due April 15, 2020 and June 15, 2020, will now be due on July 15, 2020.
There will be an automatic extension to October 15, 2020 for personal income tax as long as the amount due for a valid personal income tax extension is paid by July 15, 2020.
