The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance decided not to extend taxpayers impacted by the December blizzards to May 15th; impacted taxpayers still must either file their tax returns by April 18th or file a valid extension (meaning paying 90% of the tax due). In order to file a New York return, you must complete your federal tax return. Thus, the federal disaster extension is near useless for impacted taxpayers.
I’m quite surprised–but then again, maybe I shouldn’t be. New York is not a taxpayer-friendly state, and this sure isn’t aiding in changing anyone’s mind.
