Taxpayers in St. Lawrence County, rest of NY get three-day extension on filing federal, state income tax

Posted

St. Lawrence County taxpayers this year will have three extra days to file their state and federal income taxes, according to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

Emancipation Day on April 15 in Washington, D.C. pushes the filing deadline to April 18 for most of the United States, including New York, the department said.

The Tax Department’s online "e-file for free" initiative enables taxpayers with federal adjusted gross incomes under $62,000 to save the expense of hiring a preparer by filing both their federal and state income tax returns at no cost, the department said.

“The extended deadline provides a few extra days for the millions of New Yorkers who file their taxes late in the season,” said New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Jerry Boone. “However, just because there’s extra time to file doesn’t mean you need to wait until April 18. You can complete your return now with the user-friendly software on our website, tax.ny.gov.”
