LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Leslie Rutledge is issuing a notification to Arkansans that the deadline for filing state individual income tax has been extended until May 17, 2021 to coincide with the extended federal deadline.
“This year, the date might have changed, but the responsibility remains – tax time has arrived,” said Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. “We have dealt with tough situations, heartache, and a difficult year, but I want Arkansans to know their options when safely filing their taxes.”
Attorney General Rutledge has provided these tips for Arkansans still working on filing their federal and state taxes this year:
Compare the prices and fees of multiple preparers. Prices can vary significantly.
Check the qualifications and reputation of the person handling your personal information. You are responsible for the information submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
