How do I apply for a tax extension?

To apply for a tax extension with the Mississippi Department of Revenue, you can use the online extension request form available on their official website. Fill out the form accurately with your personal information and tax details, ensuring all required fields are completed. Alternatively, you may also request an extension by filing Form 80-105, Extension Request, by mail. Remember that the extension request must be submitted by the original due date of the tax return, which is typically April 15th. It's important to note that an extension of time to file does not grant an extension of time to pay any taxes owed. However, if you have a valid federal extension, the state will automatically grant an extension of time to file.
