Federal Extension Information
Federal Extension Information
An extension may be requested by any business or individual unable to complete their tax return by the deadline. IRS extension forms are available on the IRS website www.irs.gov.
Beginning with tax year 2016, obtaining a federal extension will automatically extend your City of Bedford due date to the approved federal due date (usually October 15th). However, the federal government does not share information with the City of Bedford, so it is strongly recommended (to avoid confusion) that a copy of the federal extension form be attached to the extended return when filed. A taxpayer can also call or otherwise notify the City that a federal extension was filed.
An extension of time to file is NOT an extension of time to pay. Payment of any balance due must accompany a request for extension to file. Penalty and interest are charged for late payment of taxes. See chapter 178.10 of the Bedford Codified Ordinances.
