Can I file an extension for my state tax return?

Yes, taxpayers in Connecticut can file for an extension for their state tax return. However, it is important to note that an extension to file is not an extension to pay any taxes that may be owed. The Connecticut Department of Revenue Services allows individuals to request an automatic six-month extension to file their taxes, which means you will have until October 15 to submit your completed return. To obtain this extension, taxpayers must fill out Form CT-1040 EXT, which can be found on the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services website. When requesting the extension, taxpayers should estimate their tax liability and make any necessary payments by the original due date to avoid interest and penalties. It is advisable to check the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services website for specific instructions and to ensure that you are using the most current forms and guidelines. This will help to ensure that your extension is processed correctly and that you remain in compliance with Connecticut tax laws.
