The extended deadline for the state tax return will be the same as the federal tax return. 

If your federal extension was rejected or you didn’t apply for a federal extension, you can file a separate Arkansas business tax extension Form by the original due date of your Arkansas tax return to get an extension of time to file the Arkansas business income tax return.
