The state and federal tax filing deadline has been extended to June 15th in Louisiana for all individuals and businesses.
Postlethwaite and Netterville Associate Tax Director Kathryn Pittman said this is because of the federal disaster that was approved for Louisiana as a result of last month’s winter storms.
“It’s been extended for everything so you won’t receive any penalties or interest related to non-filing or failure to pay until the June 15th deadline,” said Pittman.
The IRS also extended the deadline for all individual filers a month to May 15th due to the pandemic and recent legislation passed that could impact their return.
Despite the one-month state extension and two-month federal extension, Pittman said it’s still a good idea to not procrastinate.
“So you are not just kicking the can down the road you do have some more time but if you do have the documents available go ahead and give them to your tax preparer especially if you believe you might get a refund,” said Pittman.
