West Virginia Tax Extension
Individuals who need additional time to file their West Virginia Personal Income Tax Return can request a six-month extension. This extension allows taxpayers to file their return by October 15, which is six months after the original due date of April 15.
How to Request an Extension
- File the extension request before the original due date (April 15).
- Use Form 4868 (Extension of Time to File) for West Virginia state tax purposes.
- Extensions received after the original due date will be denied.
- The actual tax payment is still due by the original deadline unless otherwise arranged.
Important Notes
- The extension only grants more time to file the return, not to pay the tax owed.
- Taxpayers must still pay any estimated tax liability by April 15 to avoid penalties and interest.
- Use OLT (Online Taxes) software to easily add Form 4868 for West Virginia state extension by navigating to the State section and selecting "File State Extension."
