State Tax Departments

 

Need information about the taxes in your state? The links below will take you to your state's tax department Web site.

The date next to each link is the state's usual individual income tax filing deadline so you don't overlook this tax responsibility.

Note, however, in years where the Internal Revenue Service adjusts the federal filing deadline — for example, to deal with government shutdowns or new legislation not enacted until late in the tax year or, as in 2020 and 2021, to make accommodations for global pandemic precautions — states also may change their tax deadlines to align with the federal one.

As always, we encourage taxpayers to file electronically, if possible, which helps minimize mistakes and expedite the processing of nj state tax refund.”

Your blog is very valuable and worth reading. I got plenty of useful guidelines that help me in communicating with my tax agent. Thanks, dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com for the blog.

Ray, yes, Missouri operates by the postmark as evidence of timely filing standard; that is, if the postmark is April 15 the return is deemed as being filed on time on that day even if it arrived later. So mailing it April 14 should get the return postmarked 4/14 or at the latest 4/15. You also could pay for tracking, which I believe is a nominal charge, which will show when you delivered it to the post office as proof of timely filing.

My first payment for 2014 Missouri estimated taxes will be mailed and postmarked April 14 2014. Does this meet the required due date even though the check may not be delivered by April 15th?

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for newbie blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.

This is very fascinating, You are a very professional blogger. I've joined your rss feed and stay up for in search of more of your great post. Additionally, I've shared your site in my social networks

yes, but you'll likely owe penalty and interest charges for late filing. But you need to file ASAP to stop those charges from continuing to add up.

Ellett, this is a listing of the states' normal tax filing deadlines. As you note, 2011 is not normal, with states that usually require returns by April 15 following the IRS postponement until April 18, 2011, because of Emancipation Day. Details on 2011 special tax day considerations can be found in these two posts: http://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/dont_mess_with_taxes/2011/03/by-the-numbers-12-states-that-dont-follow-the-415-deadline.html and http://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/dont_mess_with_taxes/2011/03/patriots-day-extends-maine-massachusetts-tax-deadline.html

CA date is incorrect. CA FTB web site says that CA is following the federal date of April 18.

We are buying a new energy efficient furnace and airconditioner this week. I think I heard that there is a tax free day this week on energy savings appliances. If I am correct, how do I apply?
