North Carolina Tax Extensions: Business, Personal, Information and Nonprofit Tax Returns

nc

If you cannot file your individual income tax return by the due date, you may apply for an automatic 6-month extension of time to file the return. To receive the extension, you must file Form D-410, Application for Extension for Filing Individual Income Tax Return, by the original due date of the return. An extension of time to file the return does not extend the time for paying the tax.

To obtain a business tax extension, a taxpayer must complete the application and file the completed form by the original due date of the corporate tax return. When timely filed, Form CD-419 extends the due date of the return by 6 months. An extension of time to file the return does not extend the time to pay the amount of tax due. If you do not pay the full amount of tax due by the original due date of the return, interest and penalties will be assessed.

Should I need to file exclusively to get automatic business extension for North Carolina State?

Yes. Form CD-419 is the application for extension form that must be filed before an extension of time to file the return can be granted.

What is the CD-419 and Why Should You Use It?

The CD-419 is used to extend the time for filing a C-Corporation or S-Corporation tax return. This application for extension extends the time to file the tax return by 6 months but does not extend the time to pay the tax due. All the tax is due by the 15th day of the fourth month after your year-end. The Department's online filing and payment system allows you to electronically file Form CD-419.

Is there any penalty involved if I miss the due date?

Payment of franchise and income tax due is not required with the extension. An extension of time may be granted even if the request for extension is not accompanied by a payment of the taxes due. However, the extension of time for filing a franchise tax return or an income tax return does not extend the time for paying the tax due. The penalty of ten percent (10%) for failure to pay the tax when due will be applied to any tax not paid by the original due date. In addition, interest at the statutory rate established under G.S. 105-241.21 is accrued from the original due date to the date the tax is paid.
