The agency said in a notice that any Maine corporate income tax or franchise tax returns from 2019 that would have been due on extension by Oct. 15 can now be filed by Nov. 16. In addition, late filing penalties will be abated for returns filed before the November date, the agency said. The extension is effective immediately.
The agency noted that interest and penalties, such as those associated with underpayments, aren't being waived. Deadlines for other tax forms not listed in the notice aren't affected, the agency said.
