The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance announced an extension on Thursday, Sept. 16, for certain tax filing and payment deadlines for taxpayers who were adversely affected by the flooding during the week of September 2, 2021.

Tax filing and payment deadlines occurring between Sept. 15, 2021 and Oct. 2, 2021 have been extended to Dec. 14, 2021 for:

  • filing any returns, including those for personal income tax, corporate taxes, sales tax and any other taxes administered by the Tax Department;
  • paying any tax or installment of tax, including installment payments of estimated taxes;
  • filing any requests for extensions or additional extensions of time to file;
  • filing for a credit or refund.

 

Returns filed or tax payments made by those directly affected by the storm will not be subject to any late filing, late payment, or underpayment penalties or interest if received by December 14, 2021. Some exceptions apply. Please refer to the notice regarding Relief from Certain Filing and Payment Deadlines due to Post-Tropical Depression Ida for more information.
