State of Arkansas Personal Income Tax Extensions – Tax Year 2009
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
|
The State of Arkansas will automatically grant you a 6-month tax extension if you were approved for a federal tax extension (IRS Form 4868). However, you will need to submit Arkansas Form AR1000ES (PDF) if you need to make a state tax payment.
If you do not have a valid federal tax extension, file Arkansas Form AR1055 (PDF). This form must state a reason for the extension and be postmarked on or
before April 15. Inability to pay will not be honored as a valid reason
for an extension of time to file.
If you do not need to make a tax payment and have received an acceptance notification from FileLater, then there’s nothing more for you to do.
Be sure to attach a copy of your approved AR1055 extension or Form 4868 to the face of your tax return when you file. IF YOU DO NOT ATTACH YOUR EXTENSION, YOUR RETURN WILL BE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND PENALTIES WILL BE ASSESSED.
An Arkansas tax extension will not provide you with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by April 15 or interest and other payment penalties may apply.
For additional information, please visit the State of Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration website.
