• For electronic filers, in order to comply with new banking rules, you will be asked the question "Will the funds for this payment come from an account outside of the United States".

What is the due date for my District of Columbia individual tax return?

The due date for your DC income tax return is April 15, 2020. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the return is due the next business day.

How do I request an extension of time to file my individual income tax return?

If you require more time to file your return, submit an extension of time to file request, Form FR-127, on or before April 15, 2021. Any tax due must be paid in full with the request. Penalty and interest will be assessed on any tax outstanding from the time that the return is due until the tax is paid, even if an extension to file is granted. (There is no extension of time to pay.) A copy of the federal application for an extension of time to file is acceptable for requesting an extension of time for filing a DC return.

Why file Form FR-127?

Use this form if you cannot file your DC individual income tax return by the April 15 due date. By filing this form, you can receive an extension of time to file until October 15. You must use Form FR-127 to request an extension of time to file a DC individual income tax return. A filing extension is not an extension of the due date for paying any tax you may owe.

Before filing for an extension, estimate the taxes you will owe and pay any part of that amount, not covered by DC withheld tax amounts and/or estimated tax payments. Include your payment with the FR-127 voucher and file it by April 15, 2020.If filing jointly, or filing separately on same the return, enter the social security number (SSN) and name shown first on your D-40/D-40EZ return, then enter the SSN and name shown second on your return

When to file?

You must submit your request for an extension along with full payment of any tax due by April 15, 2021.

How to avoid penalties and interest?

You will be charged interest of 10% per year, compounded daily, for any tax not paid on time. Interest is calculated from the due date of the return to the date the tax is paid.You will be charged a 5% per-month penalty for failure to file a return or pay any tax due on time. The penalty is calculated on the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month that the return is not filed or the tax is not paid. The maximum penalty is an additional amount due, equal to 25% of the tax due.
