How to File for a Tax Extension in the State of North Carolina
The state of North Carolina offers a free, automatic tax filing extension to anyone who files from D-410 before the tax filing deadline, typically April 15. The extension grants taxpayers an additional six months to complete their tax returns. However, you do not receive an extension for paying your taxes so you should estimate your tax liability and make a payment of your estimated taxes. The North Carolina Department of Revenue allows you to file the form D-410 either online or by mailing it in.

Estimate your North Carolina tax liability as best as you can based on the information you have. Although you are not required to make any payments when you file form D-410, if you owe money you will start accruing interest and penalties because the extension is only for filing your tax return, not paying your tax bill.
