Delaware doesn’t require businesses (C-corporations, partnerships, S-Corporations, and fiduciaries) to file a separate Business Tax extension form if they have already obtained a federal extension by filing Form 7004. Just remember to attach a copy of Form 7004 to your Delaware return when it’s filed.
If your federal extension was rejected or you didn’t apply for a federal extension, you can file a separate Delaware business tax extension Form to get an extension of time to file the Delaware business income tax return.
Extension Form to use
- C-Corporations - Use Form 1100-T-EXT, Delaware Corporate Income Tax Request for Extension
- S-Corporations - Use Form 1100-P-EXT, Delaware "S" Corporation Request for Extension
- Partnerships - Does NOT have a separate extension form to extend the partnership return. The approved Federal extension will extend the deadline of the Delaware tax return to the same date as your Federal extension is due.
- Fiduciaries - Use Form 400-EX - Application for Automatic Extension to File Delaware Fiduciary Income Tax Return.
