Details:
• File on TAP!
Electronic filing is now available at revenue.mt.gov! It continue to expand the options available to partnerships for electronic filing and payment. Using gov. electronic filing option, partnerships can file tax returns, as well as make electronic payments or direct-deposit tax refunds. On Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) users can also view previously filed tax returns and tax payment information, update account information and grant access to others such as tax practitioners.
Please note that this service only applies to Montana tax returns; partnerships may still have to fi le a federal return.
• Montana Due Dates Now Impacted by Federal Actions
The due date for filing a Montana income tax return will now be extended if it falls on a holiday that causes the federal filing date to be extended.
For example, the partnership’s tax return will be due April 17, 2012 because April 15 is a Sunday, and April 16 is Emancipation Day (a holiday observed in the District of Columbia) so the federal due date is extended. This is also true for any applicable payment dates. Additionally, taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas may benefit from extended due dates or the waiver of penalties and interest.
• Montana Energy Credits Not Affected by Federal Changes
The recent expansion of the federal tax credits for consumer energy efficiency expired on December 31,2010. While Montana’s energy-related tax credits mirror the federal credits in many ways, they are not affected by the federal expiration.
The types of investments that qualify for Montana tax credits and the amount of credit remain the same for 2011.
Please visit website at revenue.mt.gov for more information on qualifying for Montana’s energy tax credits.
