Oregon Extension for State Taxes
Individuals who need additional time to file their Oregon state income tax return may request an automatic extension. The Oregon Department of Revenue offers an extension that provides extra time to file, but not to pay any tax owed. This extension is available for those who are unable to meet the regular filing deadline.
How to Request an Extension
- Use Publication OR-40-EXT for detailed instructions on requesting an extension.
- The extension is automatic if you file Form OR-40-EXT by the original due date of your return.
- Extensions are granted for up to 6 months beyond the original filing deadline.
- Even with an extension, any tax owed must be paid by the original due date to avoid penalties and interest.
Important Notes
- The extension applies only to filing the return, not to paying taxes.
- Failure to pay taxes by the original due date may result in penalties and interest.
- Ensure you have all necessary information and documents before filing for an extension.
