Can I get an extension on my state tax filing deadline?

Oregon Department of Revenue does allow taxpayers to request an extension for filing their state income tax returns. Generally, individuals can receive a six-month extension by filing Form OR-40-EXT, which is the application for an extension. This form should be submitted by the original due date of the tax return to ensure the extension is valid. It is important to note that requesting an extension to file does not extend the deadline for paying any taxes owed. Taxpayers are required to estimate their tax liability and pay any amount due by the original filing deadline to avoid potential penalties and interest. Additionally, the extension is typically automatic, but it is always advisable to check the current guidance on the Oregon Department of Revenue website for the latest information and any specific conditions that may apply. By staying informed, taxpayers can ensure they are meeting all necessary requirements and avoiding unnecessary complications. If you need further assistance, checking the website will provide the most accurate and detailed contact information.
