On March 20, 2020, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin extended the tax filing and payment deadline for federal income tax to July 15, 2020. This relief includes estimated payments for the first and second quarters. You can find more information and guidance here.
Some states have also extended filing and payment deadlines – but not all of them are extended to July 15, 2020. Additionally, not all state filing extensions apply to estimated payments (you’ll see the information about estimated payments in bold below). Here’s what we know so far:
Alabama: For taxpayers affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19), the due date for filing state income tax, FIET, and BPT returns and making state income tax, FIET, and BPT payments due on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020, is postponed to July 15, 2020. Extension payments and Estimate payments due on April 15, 2020, have been postponed to July 15, 2020. However, the Order does not include estimated payments due after April 15, 2020. For example, a calendar year taxpayer’s second-quarter payment is still due June 15, 2020.
Alaska: Alaska does not have a personal income tax.
Arizona: The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) announced it has moved the deadline for filing and paying state income taxes from April 15 to July 15, 2020. This includes individual, corporate, and fiduciary tax returns. Taxpayers who need more time beyond the July 15 deadline to file state income taxes should consider filing for an extension. Arizona’s delay in filing and paying state income taxes does not include an extension to pay estimated tax payments.
Arkansas: Governor Hutchinson announced the state deadline to file and pay individual income taxes has been extended to July 15, matching the federal extension. Arkansas did not extend the 2020 estimated tax payments.

The due date for making 2019 State income tax payments due from April 20, 2020, to June 20, 2020, is postponed to July 20, 2020.

The relief provided in the Announcement applies solely to returns and payments for Tax Year 2019 due from April 20, 2020, to June 20, 2020. The extension does not apply to estimated payments.
Idaho: Idaho has extended the deadlines for 2019 individual and business income tax returns (returns and payments are now due June 15, 2020), Property tax reduction programs, and IFTA 2020 first-quarter returns.

Individual tax returns and payments originally due by April 15, 2020, are now due on or before July 15, 2020.

Income tax estimated payments are still required to be made by their regular due date. A calendar-year filer’s 1st quarter and 2nd quarter 2020 estimated payments are due on April 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, respectively.
Kansas: Gov. Kelly signed Executive Order #20-13, extending tax filing deadlines to July 15, 2020, and waiving any interest and penalties for returns and payments made on or before July 15, 2020. The Order does not apply to estimated payments.

Louisiana: Individual income and franchise tax returns are due on July 15, 2020. Title 47 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 provides no mechanism or authority for the Secretary to extend the statutory due date of declaration payments for individuals. However, for the 2020 tax year, the Secretary may waive the UET (underpayment of estimated tax) penalty if the taxpayer requests a waiver by May 17, 2022 (one year after the statutory due date of the return) and the taxpayer has acted in good faith in failing to make estimated payments.
Maine: The State of Maine has extended the payment deadline of state income tax payments from April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020. That change included any final and estimated Maine income and franchise tax payments due by April 15, 2020. The extended payment due date includes second-quarter estimated payments, originally due June 15, 2020, for the following Maine tax types: individual income tax, corporate income tax, franchise tax, and fiduciary income tax for estates and trusts.

The extension also applies to the payment of the first and second quarter estimated payments.

The filing deadline for partnership returns that were originally due on April 15, 2020, is also extended to July 15, 2020. The deadline to remit estimated tax payments for tax year 2020 that were originally due on April 15, 2020, and June 15, 2020, is extended through July 15, 2020.

All other returns and payments are due on their original due date (including 2nd quarter estimated tax payments for calendar year filers). However, estimated tax payments for the 2nd quarter are still due on June 15 for both Income Tax and Corporation Business Tax taxpayers. Any 2nd quarter payments made after June 15 will be considered late and may be subject to interest charges. Only estimated payments originally due on April 15 have been extended to July 15, 2020.
New Mexico: Personal, fiduciary, and corporate income tax returns, return payments, and estimated payments, with a filing or payment due date of April 15, are postponed to July 15, 2020. Personal, fiduciary, and corporate income estimated payments due between April 16 and July 14, 2020, may be submitted without penalty no later than July 15, 2020. Interest will be due on payments made after their original due date because TRD and the Secretary have no authority under Section 7-1-13 NMSA 1978 to waive interest otherwise due.
New York: New York State personal income tax and corporation tax returns (and related tax payments) originally due on April 15, 2020, have been extended to July 15, 2020.

Department of Revenue (NCDOR) has automatically extended the time for filing income and franchise tax returns due on April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, for individuals, corporations, partnerships, and estates and trusts. Revenue will not impose a failure-to-pay penalty for payments made on or before July 15, but you will be responsible for paying interest beginning April 15, 2020, until you pay your income tax liability: state law prevents the Department from waiving accrued interest. Under North Carolina law, the liability for failure to pay estimated income tax timely is interest. Since the Secretary is not authorized to waive interest, taxpayers that do not pay State estimated income tax between April 15, 2020, and July 15, 2020, continue to be liable for failure to timely pay estimated income tax.
North Dakota: The State of North Dakota is currently aligned with the IRS extension date. North Dakota will also provide automatic relief from penalty and interest for any income tax return or payment that is due prior to July 15. This includes the first quarter estimated payment that is due April 15, 2020, and the second quarter estimated payment due June 15, 2020.
Ohio: Ohio is following the federal government and IRS in extending the deadline to file and pay the state income tax. The new deadline is July 15, an extension of approximately three months from the original deadline of April 15. Individuals, estates, trusts, and certain businesses making quarterly estimated income tax payments have also been granted additional time to file and pay without penalty or interest. The first and second quarterly payments, normally scheduled for April 15 and June 15 for most taxpayers, have both been extended to July 15.
Oklahoma: Oklahomans have until July 15, 2020, to file and pay their 2019 Oklahoma income tax return. The deadline for April 15 estimated tax payments has also been extended to July 15. However, the regularly scheduled June 15 estimated tax payment deadline has not been extended.
Oregon: The filing due date for an Oregon personal income tax return is automatically extended from April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, just like the IRS. The relief also includes the personal income tax, fiduciary income tax returns, estate transfer tax returns, S-Corporation income tax returns, and corporate income/excise tax returns and related payments for tax year 2019. The relief doesn’t include estimated tax payments due during tax year 2020.

The relief also applies to estimated payments for the first and second quarters of 2020.
Rhode Island: Individuals can defer Rhode Island resident and nonresident personal income tax returns and personal income tax payments, normally due on April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed.

It also applies to taxpayers required to renew their franchise and excise tax exemption (filed on Form FAE183) or make an estimated payment on April 15, 2020. Any estimated payments due on dates other than April 15 remain unchanged.
