The District of Columbia will grant you a six-month state tax extension if you submit a valid extension request by the original filing deadline (April 15).<\/p>\n

To apply for a DC tax extension, submit District of Columbia Tax Form FR-127 (Extension of Time to File a DC Income Tax Return)<\/a> to the DC Office of Tax and Revenue.<\/p>\n

If you have a balance of state income tax due, it must be paid with your tax extension request by the original filing due date (April 15) to avoid incurring penalties and interest.<\/p>\n

If you expect to have no state income tax due when you file your state tax return (Form D-40), you are not required to submit a Form FR-127 as long as you have paid your state income tax for that year (through withholding or estimated tax payments) and you have filed a Federal tax extension application (IRS Tax Form 4868) with the Internal Revenue Service.<\/p>\n

A properly filed Federal tax extension, along with a paid state income tax balance means that you do not have to file Form FR-127 in order to receive a DC state tax extension.<\/p>\n
