Can the time for requesting a review be extended?

How long are extensions granted?

Extensions are granted when the taxpayer requires more time to prepare. An initial extension may be granted for up to 30 days.

Can I get additional extensions?

Upon request, the Administrative Review and Hearings Division may grant an additional extension of two weeks.

After I receive my decision, can I get an extension for filing with the Board of Tax Appeals?

No. The Board of Tax Appeals is separate from the Department of Revenue. The Department does not have authority to grant extensions with the Board of Tax Appeals.
