The Department of Revenue said today it will extend the one-week reprieve the agency began Tuesday for taxpayers affected by the Boston Marathon bombings, expanding the IRS' three-month extension to file personal income tax returns, payments and extensions.
"Since most taxpayers use information from their federal tax return to complete state tax forms, we wanted to ensure that we were offering at least the same relief as the IRS," said Commissioner Amy Pitter. "There are two major differences from the IRS — one is that the automatic Massachusetts extension applies to affected individuals outside Suffolk County as well, the other is that our relief extends to many impacted businesses."
Suffolk County residents and all Massachusetts personal income tax filers impacted by the violence will have until July 15 to file any returns, extensions or estimated payments that are normally due April 16. Taxpayers will not need to file any additional forms or get prior authorization from DOR for the three-month extension, officials said.
Business and corporate taxpayers directly impacted by the explosions will also have an additional three months to file returns that were due April 16. These taxpayers will still be required to file their regular withholding and sales/use and meals tax returns, officials said, yet if they are unable to file and/or make payments because of impacts from Monday's bombings, they can seek an abatement for the late filing and late payment penalties.
By law, DOR cannot waive any interest accruing with respect to payments that were due April 16, officials said. This tax filing season, 3.5 million Massachusetts taxpayers are expected to file returns, with more than 94 percent of them being filed electronically.
