Minnesota LLC & Partnership Tax Extension

Minnesota LLCs and partnerships report Minnesota-source income to the Minnesota Department of Revenue using Form M3. An approved federal Form 7004 automatically extends the Minnesota LLC and partnership return from March 16, 2026 to September 15, 2026–Minnesota does not require a separate state extension form for pass-through entities. Tax owed, however, must still be remitted by the original March 16, 2026 deadline.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
Minnesota Tax Due March 16 – Extending the filing deadline does not extend the payment deadline. Minnesota LLC and partnership tax owed must be paid by March 16, 2026 to avoid i`terest at the federal underpayment rate plus 2 percentage points.

How the Extension Works

File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026. Minnesota mirrors the federal extension and moves your LLC or partnership return deadline to September 15, 2026. Pay any Minnesota pass-through tax via Minnesota e-Services or mail to: Minnesota Department of Revenue, Mail Station 1250, Saint Paul, MN 55145-1250.

Minnesota LLCs with nonresident members may need to file a composite return or withhold on behalf of those members. Address composite obligations before March 16, 2026 so that withholding and any entity-level payments are covered when the extension is filed.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 to extend the Minnesota LLC or partnership return to September 15, 2026.
  • Remit Minnesota pass-through tax by March 16, 2026 through Minnesota e-Services or by mail to avoid the 5%/month penalty.
  • Review composite return or nonresident withholding requirements for your LLC's Minnesota members before March 16, 2026.
  • Submit the completed Minnesota Form M3 by September 15, 2026.

Minnesota Business Tax Extension – Fiduciary

Form M2 | Minnesota Fiduciary Income Tax Extension  •  Fiduciary
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Minnesota Fiduciary Tax Extension

Minnesota fiduciary returns–covering trusts and estates with Minnesota-source income–are filed with the Minnesota Department of Revenue using Form M2. A federal extension moves the Minnesota fiduciary filing deadline from April 15, 2026 to October 15, 2026. Minnesota follows the federal extension for fiduciary returns, and no separate Minnesota form is required.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
Minnesota Fiduciary Tax Due April 15 – The extension moves the filing deadline, not the payment deadline. Minnesota fiduciary income tax owed must be paid by April 15, 2026 to avoid the 5%/month penalty and interest.

How the Extension Works

File a federal fiduciary extension before April 15, 2026. Minnesota extends the Form M2 filing deadline to October 15, 2026 based on the federal extension. Pay any Minnesota fiduciary income tax owed by April 15, 2026 through Minnesota e-Services or mail to: Minnesota Department of Revenue, Mail Station 1250, Saint Paul, MN 55145-1250.

Minnesota fiduciary returns include income from estates and both simple and complex trusts. Distributable net income (DNI) and trustee distributions can significantly affect the Minnesota fiduciary tax. Gather income distribution records well before April 15, 2026 to support an accurate extension payment.

Best Practices

  • Obtain a federal fiduciary extension before April 15, 2026 to extend the Minnesota Form M2 deadline to October 15, 2026.
  • Pay Minnesota fiduciary income tax by April 15, 2026 through Minnesota e-Services or by mail.
