Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
Section III-2505 - Filling Extensions for Partnerships
A. Revised Statute Title 47, Section 1514 provides that the secretary may grant a reasonable extension to file any tax return due under this subtitle, not to exceed six months, from the date the return is due.
1. To obtain a filing extension for filing a partnership/partnership composite return, partnerships must make the request on or before the tax return's due date.
2. A partnership must request a state filing extension by submitting an electronic application.
3. An electronic application may be submitted via:
a. the Department of Revenue's web site at www.revenue.louisiana.gov/extensions;
b. tax preparation software; or
c. any other electronic method authorized by the secretary.
B. For taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, the secretary shall grant an automatic extension of time to file a state income tax return, not to exceed six months from the date the return is due, with no extension request required.
C. Filing extension does not extend time to pay tax.
1. A filing extension granted by the secretary only allows for an extension of time to file the tax return. The extension does not allow an extension of time to pay the tax due.
2. To avoid interest and penalty assessments, income taxes due must be prepaid on or before the original due date.
D. Failure to file by the extended due date shall result in the extension being null and void and shall result in delinquent filing penalties assessed from the original due date.
