UPDATED: DRS Grants All Three of CTCPA's Requested Filing Extensions

UPDATED February 22, 2025

DRS Grants All Three of CTCPA’s Three Requested Filing Extensions to April 15

The Department of Revenue Services (DRS) has updated their notice to now include extensions, as we had initially requested.

The deadline has now been extended to April 15, 2025 for all three forms: 

• Form CT-PET, Connecticut Pass-Through Entity Tax Return
• Form CT-1065/CT-1120SI, Connecticut Composite Income Tax Return
• Form CT-PET EXT, Application for Extension of Time

As the notice now states:

"With regard to extensions, to participate in this initiative, taxpayers must:

• File an extension of time to file 2024 Form CT-1065/CT-1120SI and 2024 Form CT-PET by April 15, 2025; and
• Pay the full amount of the tax reported thereon by April 15, 2025.

Receipt by DRS of an extension on or before April 15, 2025 will constitute the taxpayer’s written acceptance of the terms of the settlement initiative. In exchange for compliance with these terms, the DRS will agree to forgo the penalties and interest that accrued between March 15, 2025, and April 15, 2025. Any taxpayer who does not file the extension and make full payment of the tax reported thereon is ineligible to participate in the initiative. Please be advised that if a taxpayer files an extension of time to file a 2024 Form CT-1065/1120SI and/or 2024 Form CT-PET, the extended due date for said return(s) remains September 15, 2025."

We're pleased that the DRS was able to extend all three deadlines as we requested and hope this provides some much-needed relief to all of you as you work through this busy season.
