Today is the deadline to file your state income tax. But don’t worry if you need more time. Louisiana has an automatic six-month extension for November 15, 2024. La Port CPA & Business Advisors, Connor Brown.
“Now the thing to remember with this is, although it is an automatic extension of time to file the return it is not an extension of time to pay the taxes that are due.”
That means if you think or know you will owe some taxes that still need to be paid by today. Otherwise, you will start accruing interest and penalties.
Brown with some methods to pay the tax man.
“You can file a form 2868v, and attach it to a check and send it in to the Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDOR) . You can make your payment electronically through The Louisiana Taxpayer Access Point (LaTAP). Or you can use CPA or any third party provider.”
A possible reason for making the extension automatic was a way to easy administration and the taxpayers.
“The person that likes to think that our government and government agencies are taking care of us maybe decided to take a burden off of Louisiana tax payers by having to remember to file this form in order to get the extensions.”
There is no added step for Louisiana Taxpayers, but even with the November 15th extension 6 months away it’s no time to waste.
