The State of New Mexico will automatically grant you a 60-day tax extension if you were approved for a federal tax extension. However, you will need to submit New Mexico Form RPD-40196 (PDF) if you were not approved for a federal extension or if you need to request additional time to file. If you have successfully filed a federal tax extension (Form 4868) and you file and pay by the extended due date allowed by the IRS, Form RPD-41096 does not need to be submitted.

Be sure to attach your federal extension (IRS Tax Form 4868 ) when you file your state tax return.

Filing a New Mexico tax extension will not provide you with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by the original filing deadline, or interest and other payment penalties may apply.

For additional information, please visit the State of New Mexico Department of Taxation and Revenue website.
