New York LLC & Partnership Tax Extension

New York LLCs and partnerships with New York source income file Form IT-204 with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, due March 16, 2026. A six-month extension to September 15, 2026 is available and–unlike most New York business entity extensions–the federal Form 7004 extension is accepted by New York for partnership returns, with no separate state extension form required. New York's optional Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) allows LLC and partnership members to prepay New York income tax at the entity level for a state tax deduction benefit at the federal level.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
NY Tax Due March 16 – Extending the filing deadline does not postpone payment. New York LLC and partnership tax owed, including PTET estimated payments, must be remitted by March 16, 2026 to avoid the 5%/month failure-to-pay penalty and interest.

How to Extend a New York LLC or Partnership Return

File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026. New York treats the federal extension as valid for Form IT-204 purposes, automatically moving the deadline to September 15, 2026. Pay any New York LLC tax and PTET estimated amounts by March 16, 2026 through the New York Tax Department online payment system or mail to: NYS Tax Department, W A Harriman Campus, Albany, NY 12227. Note that New York City LLCs may also owe the Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT)–confirm any NYC obligations separately.

The New York PTET election, if made, requires quarterly estimated payments. The election for tax year 2026 must be made by March 16, 2026. If your LLC has made or plans to make the PTET election, ensure estimated payments are current before the March 16, 2026 return deadline to avoid PTET underpayment charges.

New York LLC Extension Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 to extend the New York Form IT-204 partnership return to September 15, 2026–no separate NY form needed.
  • Pay New York LLC tax and any PTET amounts by March 16, 2026 through the NY online payment portal or by mail.
  • Verify whether the LLC owes New York City Unincorporated Business Tax and address any NYC filing or payment obligations by March 16, 2026.
  • File the completed Form IT-204 with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance by September 15, 2026.

New York S Corporation Tax Extension

New York S corporations file Form CT-3-S with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and are subject to New York's franchise tax even under the S election. The CT-3-S is due March 16, 2026, and a six-month extension to September 15, 2026 is available–but unlike the partnership return, New York S corporations must file their own New York extension form (Form CT-5.4) rather than relying solely on the federal Form 7004. Failing to file Form CT-5.4 by March 16, 2026 means the New York S corporation return will be treated as delinquent regardless of any federal extension.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
File Form CT-5.4 by March 16 – New York requires a separate state extension form (CT-5.4) for S corporations. A federal extension alone does not extend the New York CT-3-S return. File CT-5.4 and pay all franchise tax owed by March 16, 2026 to avoid the 5%/month penalty.

How to Extend a New York S Corporation Return

File New York Form CT-5.4 (Request for Six-Month Extension to File) by March 16, 2026 to extend the CT-3-S return to September 15, 2026. Also file IRS Form 7004 by March 16, 2026 for the federal extension. Pay all New York franchise tax owed by March 16, 2026 through the New York Tax Department online payment system or by mail to: NYS Tax Department, W A Harriman Campus, Albany, NY 12227. New York City S corporations operating within the five boroughs may also owe General Corporation Tax (GCT)–confirm any NYC CT-5.4 or GCT extension filing requirements separately.

New York S corporations that have not made a separate New York S election (Form CT-6) will be treated as C corporations for New York purposes and must file Form CT-3 and CT-5 instead. Confirm your New York S election status before filing CT-3-S or CT-5.4.

New York S Corporation Extension Checklist

  • File New York Form CT-5.4 by March 16, 2026–this is required for a valid New York S corporation extension to September 15, 2026, independent of the federal extension.
  • Also file IRS Form 7004 by March 16, 2026 to extend the federal S corporation return (Form 1120-S) to September 15, 2026.
  • Pay all New York franchise tax owed by March 16, 2026 through the NY online payment portal or by mail.
  • File the completed Form CT-3-S with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance by September 15, 2026.

New York Business Tax Extension – C Corporation

Form CT-5 / CT-5.4 / IT-370-PF | New York State Extension Request  •  C Corporation
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

New York C Corporation Tax Extension

New York C corporations are subject to the franchise tax under Article 9-A of the Tax Law, assessed on the highest of four bases: business income, business capital, fixed dollar minimum, or the metropolitan transportation business tax (MTA) surcharge base for businesses in the MTA region. The annual franchise tax return (Form CT-3) is due April 15, 2026, and a six-month extension to October 15, 2026 is available–but New York requires its own separate extension form (Form CT-5) rather than accepting the federal Form 7004 alone for C corporation returns.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
File Form CT-5 by April 15 – New York C corporations must file Form CT-5 (Request for Six-Month Extension to File) by April 15, 2026. A federal extension alone does not extend the NY CT-3 return. Pay all franchise tax owed by April 15, 2026 to avoid the 5%/month penalty and interest at New York's underpayment rate.

Obtaining a New York C Corporation Extension

File New York Form CT-5 and IRS Form 7004 before April 15, 2026. The Form CT-5 extends the CT-3 filing deadline to October 15, 2026. Pay all New York franchise tax owed–including any MTA surcharge–by April 15, 2026 through the New York Tax Department online payment system or mail to: NYS Tax Department, W A Harriman Campus, Albany, NY 12227. C corporations with New York City operations must separately address the New York City General Corporation Tax (GCT); a separate NYC extension may be required.

New York C corporations that are members of a combined reporting group must coordinate extensions across all group members. Each member that needs an extended deadline should ensure Form CT-5 is filed on its behalf by April 15, 2026. Combined group members that miss the extension deadline may face delinquency penalties even if the parent filed timely.

NY C Corporation Extension Best Practices

  • File New York Form CT-5 by April 15, 2026–this is mandatory for a valid NY C corporation extension to October 15, 2026 and cannot be replaced by the federal Form 7004 alone.
  • Also file IRS Form 7004 by April 15, 2026 to extend the federal C corporation return (Form 1120) to October 15, 2026.
  • Remit all New York franchise tax and MTA surcharge owed by April 15, 2026 through the NY online payment portal or by mail.
  • File the completed Form CT-3 with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance by October 15, 2026.

New York Business Tax Extension – Fiduciary

Form CT-5 / CT-5.4 / IT-370-PF | New York State Extension Request  •  Fiduciary
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

New York Fiduciary Tax Extension

New York trusts and estates with New York-source income file Form IT-205 (Fiduciary Income Tax Return) with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. The IT-205 is due April 15, 2026, and a six-month extension to October 15, 2026 is available by filing Form IT-370-PF (Application for Automatic Six-Month Extension of Time to File). Form IT-370-PF must be filed by April 15, 2026–New York requires this separate state form and does not accept the federal Form 7004 as a substitute for fiduciary returns.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
File Form IT-370-PF by April 15 – New York requires Form IT-370-PF for a fiduciary extension–a federal Form 7004 alone does not extend the IT-205. Pay the full amount of New York fiduciary income tax owed with IT-370-PF by April 15, 2026 to avoid the 5%/month penalty and interest at the New York underpayment rate.

Requesting a New York Fiduciary Extension

File New York Form IT-370-PF and IRS Form 7004 before April 15, 2026. IT-370-PF extends the IT-205 filing deadline to October 15, 2026. Pay all New York fiduciary income tax with Form IT-370-PF by April 15, 2026 through the New York Tax Department online payment system or mail to: NYS Tax Department, W A Harriman Campus, Albany, NY 12227. New York City residents' trusts may also owe New York City income tax–a separate NYC extension may be required for City purposes.

New York taxes resident trusts–those established by New York residents or administered by New York fiduciaries–on all income regardless of source. Nonresident trusts pay New York tax only on New York-source income. Because New York's resident trust definition is broad, fiduciaries should carefully evaluate whether the trust qualifies as a New York resident or nonresident trust before completing Form IT-205 or the IT-370-PF extension payment.

New York Fiduciary Extension Best Practices

  • File New York Form IT-370-PF by April 15, 2026–required for a valid New York fiduciary extension to October 15, 2026; a federal extension alone is insufficient.
  • Also file IRS Form 7004 by April 15, 2026 to extend the federal fiduciary return (Form 1041) to October 15, 2026.
  • Pay all New York fiduciary income tax with IT-370-PF by April 15, 2026 through the NY online payment portal or by mail.
  • File the completed Form IT-205 with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance by October 15, 2026.
