Tax return

1. An organization that has an active license shall file a tax return each quarter. Closely connected organizations shall file a consolidated tax return. A tax return and payment of tax for a quarter must be postmarked or hand-delivered by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. However, if the last day of the month is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the due date is the first following business day. An extension for filing a tax return may be granted for good cause, with approval of the attorney general, by filing a written request explaining the reason. A request must be postmarked or hand-delivered by the due date of a tax return. 2. An incomplete tax return will not be considered timely filed unless it is correctly completed and returned by the due date or an approved extended date. A tax return is incomplete if information is missing or misrepresented, it is not properly signed, instructions are not followed, current schedules are not used, or required documentation is not provided. 3. An organization shall file a quarterly tax return on its original due date, even though payment of the entire tax due cannot be paid, to minimize the interest and penalty assessed. An explanation, including the anticipated payment date, must accompany a tax return received from an organization to be considered for an installment pay plan. The attorney general may for good cause allow an organization to make installment payments of delinquent tax, interest, and penalty.
