Individuals residing in Arkansas are not required to file a separate extension form if having a valid Federal tax extension and owe zero state income tax, the Arkansas state will automatically extend the deadline for your state tax return as same as the extended deadline for your Federal return.

If you don’t have a Federal extension and you owe state tax due, file a separate state tax extension form on or before the original due date of your return.

Extension Form To Use

Form AR1055, Request for Extension of Time for Filing Income Tax Returns.

No, currently, we do not support this state filing. If you are looking for an e-file solution for Federal Form 4868, you can file your extension and get approval within minutes with ExpressExtension. Please Note: An extension to file doesn’t mean more time to pay, if you owe any tax due, make your tax payment by the original due date of your state return to avoid late payment penalties. 

Any Special Requirements?

An extension of time to file, not an extension of time to pay your Arkansas taxes. You are still expected to pay your tax balance by the original due date, or interest and penalties will be assessed.
