How do I request an extension for filing my taxes?

To request an extension for filing your taxes in Mississippi, you can submit a written request with your full name, address, Social Security Number, and a brief explanation of why you need the extension. You may also use the department's online system to request an extension. It is important to note that an extension for filing your taxes does not grant an extension for paying any taxes owed. It is recommended to file for an extension before the original tax deadline to avoid penalties for late filing.
