  • CALIFORNIA – 4/18/18

We received the following message from California:

“Greetings,

The IRS has allowed an additional day to file and pay taxes following IRS system issues that surfaced early on the April 17 tax deadline.  Because California taxpayers must generally complete their federal return before their California return can be filed, FTB will follow federal announcement IR-2018-100, April 17, 2018.  Individuals and businesses with a filing or payment due date of April 17 will now have until midnight on Wednesday, April 18th.  Taxpayers do not need to do anything to receive this extra time.

California provides an automatic six-month extension to October 15th available to taxpayers who need additional time to file. Any tax due must still be paid by April 18th.”

  • IDAHO – 4/18/18

We received the following message from Idaho:

“BOISE, IDAHO — April 18, 2018 — The Idaho State Tax Commission is providing taxpayers an extra day to file and pay their 2017 income taxes. Taxpayers have until the end of Wednesday, April 18 to file and pay their income taxes without penalty. 

The IRS announced a one-day extension for filing federal returns due to problems with its e-filing system for much of the April 17 tax deadline. This also affected e-filing for Idaho returns. As a result, Idaho is following the extended federal deadline. The extended deadline applies to returns and payments filed by paper or electronically.”

  • NEBRASKA – 4/18/18

We received the following message from Nebraska:

“On Tuesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that it is providing taxpayers an additional day to file and pay their federal income taxes. Income tax filers with a filing or payment due date of April 17, 2018, will now have until midnight on Wednesday, April 18, 2018, to file and pay their federal individual income taxes. The Nebraska Department of Revenue is required by law to follow the federal due dates. Therefore, the deadline for Nebraska individual income tax returns and payments has also been extended to April 18, 2018″.

  • OHIO – 4/18/18

We received the following message from Ohio:

“This email is to advise you that Ohio’s error code OHIND-046 “You are attempting to file an IT1040 return after the filing deadline, but did not indicate if you are filing federal extension form 4868.” was issued yesterday in error.  Users should not have been required to answer the question until today, the day after the filing deadline.

Impacted users should resubmit their Ohio returns and provide a yes or no answer to the question to indicate if they filed a federal extension.  A “no” (or false) answer will be accepted without penalty for returns filed today, or within the 5 day perfection period for rejected returns.  After today, a yes or no answer will still be required and accepted with standard consequences for late filing.

Ohio will be following the IRS and extending the due date to file and pay from 4/17 to 4/18.  However, even with the extended deadline, the federal extension question must be answered today.

We apologize for the inconvenience, please respond to this email with any questions.”

  • SOUTH CAROLINA – 4/18/18

We received the following message from South Carolina:

“Following system outages, the IRS is allowing taxpayers an additional day (until April 18) to file federal income tax returns. The SCDOR will also allow taxpayers this additional day to file state income tax returns. As in the past, South Carolina’s electronic filing incentive gives individuals until May 1 to file state income tax returns electronically and pay any balance due without penalty.”

  • UTAH – 4/18/18

We received the following message from Utah:

“The IRS announced a one-day extension for filing federal returns due to computer problems at the IRS. Similarly, the Utah State Tax Commission announced that it will allow an additional day for taxpayers to file and pay their 2017 state income taxes. Taxpayers will have until 11:59pm on Wednesday, April 18th, to both pay and file their state returns without penalty.”
