The state’s Department of Revenue Services (DRS) has granted an extension of Connecticut filing deadlines for certain annual tax returns in order to support businesses during the COVID-19 outbreak, effectively immediately.

“DRS understands some business taxpayers may find it difficult to meet [the March 15] state tax filing deadline, given current circumstances,” said acting DRS commissioner John Biello. “This extension is designed to support these taxpayers, and tax practitioners, (so they can) meet their responsibility to file returns and remit payments. DRS encourages those with questions specific to their own, individual circumstances to call or e-mail the agency.”

The filing deadlines for certain annual tax returns due on or after March 15 and before June 1 are extended by at least 30 days. In addition, the payments associated with these returns are also extended to the corresponding due date in June. 

The impacted returns and the associated filing dates and payment deadlines include:

  • 2019 Form CT-1065/CT-1120 SI Connecticut Pass-Though Entity Tax Return: Filing date extended to April 15; payment deadline extended to June 15
  • 2019 Form CT-990T Connecticut Unrelated Business Income Tax Return: Filing date and payment deadline extended to June 15
  • 2019 Form CT-1120 and CT-1120CU Connecticut Corporation Business Return: Filing date and payment deadline extended to June 15.
  • DRS also informed taxpayers preparing their Connecticut income tax (Form CT-1040) returns due April 15 that the department plans to adjust due dates for filing and payment of state income taxes to align with any pending announcements from the Internal Revenue Service regarding due dates for the filing and payment of federal income taxes.

Those who need to contact DRS regarding their specific situation may e-mail the department at DRS@po.state.ct.us or phone 860-297-5962.
