Tax Extension Deadline Is October 16, 2023

Are you or your clients on extension to file a personal income or fiduciary tax return?

If so, the date to get the return filed is October 16, 2023.

An extension is only for more time to file, not to pay. Interest will be added to any amount due, even if the extension is valid.
