The due date for New York State personal income tax returns for the 2020 tax year was extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021.
Did you know you can request an automatic six-month filing extension if you can’t file your return by the due date? With an extension, your return is due October 15, 2021.
Note: You can request an extension of time to file your return only. You cannot request an extension of time to pay any tax due.
To file an extension request, you must:
- submit your request by May 17, 2021, and
- properly estimate and pay any 2020 tax liability owed in full.
How to request your extension online
-
Submit your request using Personal Income Tax Extension.
-
Pay in full any tax you estimate you'll owe on your 2020 tax return.
For payment options, see Make a payment when you have an extension of time to file. Paying through your Online Services account is the fastest and easiest way to make the payment.
If you don't pay with your request, you'll begin to accrue interest, penalties, and additions to tax related to the extension on May 18, 2021.
