Arizona LLC & Partnership Tax Extension

Arizona LLCs and partnerships file with the Arizona Department of Revenue. The state provides an automatic extension for businesses that have secured a federal extension – but if you owe Arizona tax, you must remit payment using Form 120/165EXT by the original due date.

Original DeadlineMarch 16, 2026
Extended DeadlineSeptember 15, 2026
Payment Due by March 15 – Arizona's filing extension does not extend the time to pay. Submit any balance owed by the original due date to avoid the failure-to-pay penalty.

How the Extension Works

Arizona LLCs and partnerships with an approved IRS Form 7004 extension automatically receive a matching Arizona extension to September 15, 2026. When filing your completed Arizona return, check Box 82F to indicate the federal extension is in place. If taxes are owed, submit payment with Form 120/165EXT by March 16, 2026.

Arizona requires that Box 82F be checked on the LLC or partnership return to reflect the federal extension. Failing to mark this box may result in late-filing treatment even if your federal Form 7004 was timely filed with the IRS.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 with the IRS before March 16, 2026 to activate your Arizona extension.
  • Submit Form 120/165EXT with any Arizona tax payment owed by March 16, 2026.
  • Check Box 82F on your Arizona LLC or partnership return when you file the completed return.
  • Pay online via AZTaxes.gov for fast, secure electronic payment.

Arizona Business Tax Extension – S Corporation

Form 120/165EXT  •  S Corporation
Original deadline: March 16, 2026 Extended to: September 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Arizona S Corporation Tax Extension

Arizona S Corporations file their state business return with the Arizona Department of Revenue. With an approved IRS Form 7004, your Arizona filing deadline is automatically extended – no separate Arizona extension application is needed, though Box 82F must be checked on the return.

Original DeadlineMarch 16, 2026
Extended DeadlineSeptember 15, 2026
File vs. Pay – Know the Difference – The extension grants additional time to file your return. Any Arizona S Corporation tax owed remains due on March 16, 2026 regardless of your extension.

How the Extension Works

Arizona's extension for S Corporations is triggered by a valid federal extension. Once IRS Form 7004 is approved, check Box 82F on the Arizona S Corporation return to indicate the federal extension is in effect. If you have a balance due, pay using Form 120/165EXT by March 16, 2026. File your completed return by September 15, 2026.

Arizona S Corporations may be subject to the Built-In Gains Tax or other entity-level taxes. Confirm with your tax advisor whether any Arizona-level S Corporation tax is owed before the March 15 deadline to avoid penalties.

Best Practices

  • Secure your IRS Form 7004 approval ahead of the March 16, 2026 original deadline.
  • Pay any Arizona S Corporation tax liability by March 16, 2026 using Form 120/165EXT.
  • Mark Box 82F on your Arizona S Corporation return to confirm the federal extension is active.
  • Make electronic payments conveniently at AZTaxes.gov.

Arizona Business Tax Extension – C Corporation

Form 120/165EXT  •  C Corporation
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Arizona C Corporation Tax Extension

Arizona C Corporations are required to file with the Arizona Department of Revenue and are subject to Arizona corporate income tax. An approved federal extension automatically extends your Arizona filing deadline – check Box 82F and, if taxes are owed, submit payment using the extension voucher by the original deadline.

Original DeadlineApril 15, 2026
Extended DeadlineOctober 15, 2026
Balance Due on April 15 – An extension to file is not an extension to pay. Arizona corporate tax balances are due by April 15, 2026 to avoid the failure-to-pay penalty of 0.5% per month.

How the Extension Works

Arizona C Corporations with a valid IRS Form 7004 extension receive an automatic 6-month extension to October 15, 2026 for filing the Arizona corporate return. Submit any Arizona tax due by April 15, 2026 using Form 120/165EXT. When your return is complete, check Box 82F and submit by October 15, 2026.

Ensure your April 15 payment accurately reflects your estimated Arizona corporate tax liability. Arizona's failure-to-file penalty of 4.5% per month (up to 25%) is substantially higher than the failure-to-pay penalty, so filing on time – even with a balance – minimizes your total exposure.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before April 15, 2026 to extend both your federal and Arizona C Corp deadlines.
  • Pay your full estimated Arizona corporate tax liability by April 15, 2026 with Form 120/165EXT.
  • Check Box 82F on the Arizona C Corporation return when filing the completed return by October 15.
  • Use AZTaxes.gov for electronic payments and to confirm payment receipt.

Arizona Business Tax Extension – Fiduciary / Estate / Trust

Form 120/165EXT  •  Fiduciary / Estate / Trust
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Arizona Fiduciary Tax Extension

Estates and trusts subject to Arizona income tax file with the Arizona Department of Revenue. Arizona fiduciary returns can be extended by securing a valid federal extension from the IRS – the Arizona filing deadline is then automatically extended to October 15, 2026.

Original DeadlineApril 15, 2026
Extended DeadlineOctober 15, 2026
Tax Payment Due April 15 – The extension applies to filing only. Fiduciary tax owed must be paid by April 15, 2026 to avoid failure-to-pay penalties and interest charges.

How the Extension Works

Arizona automatically extends the fiduciary return deadline to October 15, 2026 when a valid federal extension is in place. File the appropriate federal fiduciary extension and indicate the extension on your Arizona fiduciary return. Pay any balance owed by April 15, 2026 to stay in good standing with the Arizona Department of Revenue.

Fiduciary returns for Arizona estates and trusts follow different forms and instructions than standard corporate extensions. Confirm you are using the correct Arizona fiduciary extension form and consult a licensed tax professional if the estate or trust has complex income sources or nonresident beneficiaries.

Best Practices

  • Obtain a valid federal fiduciary extension before April 15, 2026 to activate the Arizona extension.
  • Remit any Arizona fiduciary tax owed by April 15, 2026 to prevent late-payment penalties.
  • File the completed Arizona fiduciary return by the extended deadline of October 15, 2026.
  • Work with a tax professional to ensure proper treatment of estate or trust income under Arizona law.
