Automatic North Carolina Tax Extension
If you cannot file your state tax return on time, North Carolina requires that you apply for an extension of time to file, whether or not you owe state tax. You do not have to attach the extension form to your NC state return.
You can get an automatic 6-month extension (to October 15, 2019) of time to file your North Carolina tax return by filling out and mailing Form D-410. North Carolina does not accept federal extensions.
If you owe state tax, you must still pay the amount due by April 15, 2019 or you will be charged penalties and interest on the unpaid amount (10% late payment penalty plus interest). Pay as much as you can with your extension request to minimize the penalties and interest. Penalties for not filing are worse than penalties for not paying, so be sure to file a return or an extension by April 15, 2019 even if you cannot pay the full amount at that time.
If you do not file for an extension, you are subject to both the 5% per month late filing penalty and 10% late payment penalty on the remaining tax due.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident and are out of the country on April 15, 2019, you are granted an automatic 4-month extension of time to file (if you fill in the “Out of the Country” circle on Page 1 of Form D-400) and to pay, but interest will still accrue on any amount you owe after April 15, 2019 (but penalties will not apply until August 15). You can use Form D-410 to get an additional extension of 2 months--but only to file, not to pay. File the form by August 15, 2019 to receive the additional 2-month extension.
Important: Do you need to prepare and e-file an IRS or federal tax extension as well?
