Team Kentucky announced on Tuesday that it would be extending the state tax deadline due to recent severe weather events.
The extension allows affected taxpayers whose filing deadline is on or after April 15 until Nov. 3 to file Kentucky income tax returns and submit tax payments for individual income tax, corporate income tax, pass-through entity tax, income tax withholding, limited liability entity tax, quarterly estimated payments and Kentucky payroll payments.
“Folks remember, we’re in this together, and we keep trying to find different ways to help out,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “Some will be big, some will be small, but we hope that they all come together and show that the people of this state love you, and that we’re trying to do our very best to help.”
Beshear said Kentucky’s extensions for state tax deadlines will mirror the Internal Revenue Service’s federal extensions related to this disaster for filing income tax returns, including payment of tax due.
Late filing and payment penalties will be waived for affected taxpayers seeking this relief as long as such payments are made on or before Nov. 3.
Kentucky’s tax laws have no provision for the waiver of interest.
Taxpayers requiring additional information or assistance may contact the Department of Revenue at (502) 564-4581 for individual income tax or (502) 564-8139 for corporation income, limited liability entity, and pass-through entity tax.
