Our application validates your form by performing an internal audit to check for errors. Once complete, all you need to do is print your form and mail it to the address we provide.

Any Special Requirements?

If no Income Tax is due and you have been granted an extension of time to file a Federal Income Tax return, the state will accept a copy of the federal extension. You do not need to send us a copy of the federal form by the due date of the tax return.
