Delaware

Extension for tax year 2005

General Instructions

The Delaware Division of Revenue does not require you to file a request for additional time if a federal extension has been filed. Delaware grants an automatic extension until October 15, 2006 to file your 2005 tax return. Delaware does require that you pay your entire tax liability on or before April 30, 2006 to avoid penalties and interest.

Penalty and Interest Charges on Tax Owed:

Those who do not pay 100 percent of their amount due on or before April 30, 2006 will be charged interest on the unpaid balance and be subject to a penalty.

• Any unpaid portion of the final tax will bear interest at the rate of 1/2 of one percent (1/2%) per month (or fractional part thereof) on any unpaid balance of tax from the original due date of the return until the tax is paid.
• The law imposes a penalty of five percent (5%) per month (or fractional part thereof) up to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the tax for failure to file a timely return.
