Pa. Extends Biz Income Tax Deadlines In Response To Coronavirus

Pennsylvania has extended its income tax deadlines for corporations, partnerships and trusts and estates in response to the novel coronavirus, the state Department of Revenue announced on Thursday.

The state's May 15 deadline for corporation income tax returns has been extended to Aug. 14, and the April 15 due date for nonresident withholding, partnership, S corporation and trusts and estates returns has been moved to July 15, the department said in a statement. However, the June 15 estimated payment due date for corporations will remain the same, the department said.

The extensions build on the personal income tax extensions and certain local tax extensions that the state has already authorized amid the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus. A department official has also said that the state won't count telecommuting employees for nexus purposes with Pennsylvania.
