Pennsylvania LLC & Partnership Tax Extension

Pennsylvania LLCs and partnerships file Form PA-65 (PA S Corporation/Partnership Information Return) with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. The return is due March 16, 2026, and a six-month extension to September 15, 2026 is available. Pennsylvania does not automatically honor the federal Form 7004 extension–a separate Pennsylvania extension request must be filed using Form REV-853. Payment of all Pennsylvania income tax owed is required by March 16, 2026 to avoid the failure-to-pay penalty and interest, even when an extension has been granted.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
PA Requires Separate Extension Form – Unlike most states, Pennsylvania does not follow the federal extension automatically. File Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before March 16, 2026 to obtain a Pennsylvania extension. Submitting IRS Form 7004 alone does not extend the Pennsylvania PA-65 filing deadline.

Extending a Pennsylvania LLC or Partnership Return

File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 for the federal extension, then separately file Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before March 16, 2026 to extend the Pennsylvania PA-65 return to September 15, 2026. Pay all Pennsylvania income tax owed by March 16, 2026 through myPATH or by mailing a payment to: PA Department of Revenue, PO Box 280427, Harrisburg, PA 17128-0427. Pennsylvania LLCs with nonresident partners must also ensure that the Pennsylvania withholding requirement for nonresident partners has been addressed–nonresident composite withholding is not extended by the filing extension.

Pennsylvania taxes LLCs as partnerships for state income tax purposes. Each LLC member pays Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax on their distributive share at the flat 3.07% rate. The PA-65 is an information return–the income tax itself is paid at the member level. Confirm whether any members have Pennsylvania withholding obligations before the March 16, 2026 deadline.

PA LLC Extension Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 for the federal LLC extension and separately file Pennsylvania Form REV-853 to extend the PA-65 to September 15, 2026.
  • Pay all Pennsylvania income tax owed by March 16, 2026 through myPATH or by mail to avoid the 1%/month failure-to-pay penalty.
  • Confirm nonresident partner withholding requirements and remit any required amounts by March 16, 2026.
  • File the completed Form PA-65 with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue by September 15, 2026.

Original deadline: March 16, 2026 Extended to: September 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Pennsylvania S Corporation Tax Extension

Pennsylvania S corporations file Form PA-20S (PA S Corporation Information Return) with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. The return is due March 16, 2026, and a six-month extension to September 15, 2026 is available. Pennsylvania does not automatically honor the federal Form 7004 extension for S corporation returns–a separate Pennsylvania extension must be filed using Form REV-853 before March 16, 2026. Pennsylvania S corporation shareholders pay Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax at the flat 3.07% rate on their share of S corporation income. Pennsylvania does not recognize the federal S corporation election for corporate net income tax purposes–the Pennsylvania corporate net income tax applies to corporations with Pennsylvania nexus, but Pennsylvania-qualified S corporations are generally exempt at the entity level.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
PA Requires Separate Extension – Pennsylvania does not follow the federal extension automatically. File Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before March 16, 2026 in addition to IRS Form 7004 to extend the PA-20S filing deadline to September 15, 2026. Failure to file REV-853 will result in the PA-20S being treated as late even if the federal extension is valid.

Extending a Pennsylvania S Corporation Return

File both IRS Form 7004 and Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before March 16, 2026. The Pennsylvania extension moves the PA-20S filing deadline to September 15, 2026. Pay all Pennsylvania income tax owed by March 16, 2026 through myPATH or by mailing a payment to: PA Department of Revenue, PO Box 280427, Harrisburg, PA 17128-0427. Pennsylvania S corporations with nonresident shareholders must address nonresident withholding or composite return obligations by March 16, 2026–these payments are not extended by the filing extension.

Pennsylvania's treatment of S corporations differs meaningfully from federal treatment. Pennsylvania requires a separate Pennsylvania S corporation election (Form REV-976), and not all federally-elected S corporations are automatically treated as Pennsylvania S corporations. Confirm your entity's Pennsylvania classification before the March 16, 2026 filing deadline.

PA S Corporation Extension Checklist

  • File IRS Form 7004 AND Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before March 16, 2026–both are required to extend the PA-20S return to September 15, 2026.
  • Pay all Pennsylvania income tax by March 16, 2026 through myPATH or by mail to avoid the 1%/month penalty.
  • Confirm the Pennsylvania S corporation election status (Form REV-976) before the March 16, 2026 deadline.
  • File the completed Form PA-20S with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue by September 15, 2026.

Pennsylvania Business Tax Extension – C Corporation

PA REV-853 | Pennsylvania Annual Extension Request  •  C Corporation
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Pennsylvania C Corporation Tax Extension

Pennsylvania C corporations file Form RCT-101 (PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report) with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. The return is due April 15, 2026, and a six-month extension to October 15, 2026 is available. Pennsylvania does not automatically follow the federal Form 7004 extension–a separate Pennsylvania extension must be filed using Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026. Pennsylvania's Corporate Net Income (CNI) tax rate is 8.49% for tax year 2025, with a scheduled reduction to 4.99% by 2031. All Pennsylvania CNI tax must be paid by April 15, 2026 to avoid the failure-to-pay penalty and interest.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
PA Requires Separate Extension – Pennsylvania does not follow the federal extension automatically for C corporations. File Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026 in addition to IRS Form 7004. Filing only the federal extension leaves the Pennsylvania RCT-101 unextended and subject to the 5%/month failure-to-file penalty.

Requesting a Pennsylvania C Corporation Extension

File both IRS Form 7004 and Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026 to extend the Pennsylvania RCT-101 return to October 15, 2026. Pay all Pennsylvania CNI tax by April 15, 2026 through myPATH or by mailing a payment to: PA Department of Revenue, PO Box 280427, Harrisburg, PA 17128-0427. Pennsylvania C corporations apportioning income to multiple states use a single-sales-factor formula based on Pennsylvania sales, so complete the Pennsylvania sales factor calculation before April 15, 2026 to accurately estimate the extension payment.

Pennsylvania C corporations that are part of a unitary group must determine whether combined reporting applies. Pennsylvania enacted combined reporting requirements for tax years beginning after January 1, 2023–corporations in a unitary group must file a combined RCT-101 and pay combined CNI tax based on the group's apportioned Pennsylvania income. Confirm combined reporting status before the April 15, 2026 payment deadline.

PA C Corporation Extension Checklist

  • File IRS Form 7004 AND Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026–both are required to extend the RCT-101 return to October 15, 2026.
  • Pay all Pennsylvania CNI tax by April 15, 2026 through myPATH or by mail to avoid the 1%/month failure-to-pay penalty.

Pennsylvania Business Tax Extension – Fiduciary

Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Pennsylvania Fiduciary Tax Extension

Pennsylvania trusts and estates with Pennsylvania source income file Form PA-41 (Pennsylvania Fiduciary Income Tax Return) with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. The return is due April 15, 2026, and a six-month extension to October 15, 2026 is available. Pennsylvania does not automatically follow the federal Form 7004 extension for fiduciary returns–a separate Pennsylvania extension must be filed using Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026. Pennsylvania fiduciary income tax is assessed at a flat 3.07% rate on Pennsylvania-taxable fiduciary income.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
PA Requires Separate Extension – Pennsylvania does not follow the federal Form 7004 extension for fiduciary returns. File Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026 in addition to IRS Form 7004 to extend the PA-41 to October 15, 2026. Fiduciary returns not covered by a valid Pennsylvania extension are subject to the 5%/month failure-to-file penalty.

Extending a Pennsylvania Fiduciary Return

File both IRS Form 7004 and Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026. The Pennsylvania extension moves the PA-41 filing deadline to October 15, 2026. Pay all Pennsylvania fiduciary income tax by April 15, 2026 through myPATH or by mailing a check to: PA Department of Revenue, PO Box 280427, Harrisburg, PA 17128-0427. Pennsylvania taxes resident trusts on all income regardless of source, while nonresident trusts pay Pennsylvania tax only on Pennsylvania-source income. Confirm the trust's residency status before computing the extension payment.

Pennsylvania's fiduciary income tax rules differ from federal rules in important ways. Pennsylvania does not recognize the federal deduction for income distributed to beneficiaries in the same manner–Pennsylvania has its own rules for the distributable net income deduction. Fiduciaries should compute Pennsylvania fiduciary income tax using Pennsylvania-specific rules, not simply by adapting the federal Form 1041 calculation.

PA Fiduciary Extension Checklist

  • File IRS Form 7004 AND Pennsylvania Form REV-853 before April 15, 2026–both are required to extend the PA-41 to October 15, 2026.
  • Pay all Pennsylvania fiduciary income tax (3.07% flat rate) by April 15, 2026 through myPATH or by mail to avoid the 1%/month failure-to-pay penalty.
  • Confirm the trust's Pennsylvania residency status to determine whether all income or only Pennsylvania-source income is subject to PA tax.
  • File the completed Form PA-41 with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue by October 15, 2026.
