For your State Extension

While the IRS requires you to file Form 4868 in order to request a tax extension, each state has its own requirements for obtaining a similar extension. Some states such as California offer automatic extensions to all taxpayers, while other states require you to file a specific form by the original due date of the return. Here are some tips to help walk you through what you need to do when filing state taxes in your area:

Step 1: Check-in with your state tax authority

Some states including Wisconsin, Alabama and California offer automatic extensions to file your state income tax return without having to file any additional forms. Other states, such as New York, will grant you a extension but you must request it. For the nine states that do not impose a state income tax, you don’t even have to file an income tax return, let alone request an extension. Reach out to your state tax authority to confirm which steps you will need to follow.

Step 2: File the appropriate state tax form

Unlike IRS Form 4868, which applies to all taxpayers throughout the country, you must file the correct state-specific form to obtain the extension. TurboTax also offers TurboTax Easy Extension, an online tool that allows you to file extensions for both your federal and state tax returns.

An extension gives you until October 17, 2022 to file your taxes instead of the tax deadline (April 18, 2022). This does not give you more time to pay your taxes (if you owe), which are due on April 18.
