Complete Section II of Form 40A102 and mail that with payment to the Kentucky Department of Revenue.

If you’re only requesting a state tax extension, use Kentucky Form 740EXT (Application for Extension of Time to File Individual, General Partnership, and Fiduciary Income Tax Returns for Kentucky).

If you have a valid Federal extension, make a copy of the lower portion of IRS Form 4868 and send that with your payment to the Kentucky Department of Revenue.

There are two ways a state extension payment can be made: To avoid interest and penalties, you must pay your Kentucky tax balance by the original deadline (April 15). Just remember to attach a copy of your Federal extension to your Kentucky return when it’s filed.Īn extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. Therefore, if you have a valid Federal extension, you will automatically be granted a Kentucky extension. The State of Kentucky recognizes a properly filed Federal tax extension ( IRS Form 4868). The Department will grant an extension if you provide “reasonable cause” for your inability to file on time.

To apply for a Kentucky personal extension, you must submit a written request to the Kentucky Department of Revenue by the original deadline of your tax return (April 15).

If you cannot file on time, you can request a Kentucky tax extension for 6 extra months to file, which moves the due date to October 15. Kentucky individual income tax returns are due by the 15 th day of the 4 th month following the close of the tax year - for calendar year filers, this date is April 15.
