On March 20, 2020, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin extended the tax filing and payment deadline for federal income tax to July 15, 2020. This relief includes estimated payments for the first and second quarters. You can find more information and guidance here.
Some states have also extended filing and payment deadlines – but not all of them are extended to July 15, 2020. Additionally, not all state filing extensions apply to estimated payments (you’ll see the information about estimated payments in bold below). Here’s what we know so far:
Alabama: For taxpayers affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19), the due date for filing state income tax, FIET, and BPT returns and making state income tax, FIET, and BPT payments due on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020, is postponed to July 15, 2020. Extension payments and Estimate payments due on April 15, 2020, have been postponed to July 15, 2020. However, the Order does not include estimated payments due after April 15, 2020. For example, a calendar year taxpayer’s second-quarter payment is still due June 15, 2020.
Alaska: Alaska does not have a personal income tax.
Arizona: The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) announced it has moved the deadline for filing and paying state income taxes from April 15 to July 15, 2020. This includes individual, corporate, and fiduciary tax returns. Taxpayers who need more time beyond the July 15 deadline to file state income taxes should consider filing for an extension. Arizona’s delay in filing and paying state income taxes does not include an extension to pay estimated tax payments.
Arkansas: Governor Hutchinson announced the state deadline to file and pay individual income taxes has been extended to July 15, matching the federal extension. Arkansas did not extend the 2020 estimated tax payments.
California: FTB has postponed until July 15, the filing and payment deadlines for all individuals and business entities for 2019 tax returns, 2019 tax return payments, 2020 LLC taxes and fees, and 2020 Non-wage withholding payments.

The relief provided in the Announcement applies solely to returns and payments for Tax Year 2019 due from April 20, 2020, to June 20, 2020. The extension does not apply to estimated payments.

Income tax estimated payments are still required to be made by their regular due date. A calendar-year filer’s 1st quarter and 2nd quarter 2020 estimated payments are due on April 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, respectively.
Kansas: Gov. Kelly signed Executive Order #20-13, extending tax filing deadlines to July 15, 2020, and waiving any interest and penalties for returns and payments made on or before July 15, 2020. The Order does not apply to estimated payments.

Louisiana: Individual income and franchise tax returns are due on July 15, 2020.

However, for the 2020 tax year, the Secretary may waive the UET (underpayment of estimated tax) penalty if the taxpayer requests a waiver by May 17, 2022 (one year after the statutory due date of the return) and the taxpayer has acted in good faith in failing to make estimated payments.
Maine: The State of Maine has extended the payment deadline of state income tax payments from April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020. That change included any final and estimated Maine income and franchise tax payments due by April 15, 2020. The extended payment due date includes second-quarter estimated payments, originally due June 15, 2020, for the following Maine tax types: individual income tax, corporate income tax, franchise tax, and fiduciary income tax for estates and trusts.

Revenue will not impose a failure-to-pay penalty or interest for payments made on or before July 15, but you will be responsible for paying interest beginning April 15, 2020, until you pay your income tax liability: state law prevents the Department from waiving accrued interest. Under North Carolina law, the liability for failure to pay estimated income tax timely is interest. The Secretary will waive the accrual of interest during the COVID Period (through July 15, 2020) owed on estimated tax payments.

Oklahoma: Oklahomans have until July 15, 2020, to file and pay their 2019 Oklahoma income tax return. The deadline for April 15 estimated tax payments has also been extended to July 15. However, the regularly scheduled June 15 estimated tax payment deadline has not been extended.
