    Arkansas Extension to Correspond with Federal Extension (Act 369 of 2007) This act increases the Arkansas maximum extension for individual income tax returns from 120 days to 180 days. This act is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2007. If you request an extension of time to file your federal income tax return (by filing Federal Form 4868 with the IRS) you are entitled to receive the same extension on your Arkansas income tax return. The federal automatic extension extends the deadline to file until October 15th. In order to receive the extension for state purposes, when you file your return check the box on the face of the Arkansas return indicating you filed a federal extension. The Department no longer requires that a copy of Federal Form 4868 be attached to your state tax return. When the return is complete and ready to file, simply check the box on the face of the return. If you do not file a federal extension, you can file an Arkansas extension using Form AR1055 before the filing due date of April 15th. Inability to pay is not a valid reason to request an Arkansas extension. Attach a copy of your approved AR1055 extension to the face of your tax return WHEN YOU FILE, IF YOU DO NOT ATTACH YOUR EXTENSION, YOUR RETURN WILL BE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND PENALTIES WILL BE ASSESSED. Payments made on extension should be made on Form AR1000ES, Voucher 5, and mailed to:
