Extension of Time Filing Deadline Is Monday, October 17 for Individual Income Tax Returns

Thursday, October 13, 2016
Monday is also the extended due date for partnerships

The District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) reminds residents who requested an extension to file their 2015 District of Columbia Individual Income tax returns that they now have until Monday, October 17, 2016 to file and pay any amounts due. The tax year 2015 Individual Income Tax returns must be e-filed or postmarked on or before 11:59 p.m. on Monday, October 17, 2016. Final payments for tax year 2015 are also due by then.

The usual deadline, October 15, falls on a Saturday. As a result, the filing deadline for individual income tax returns on extension will move to the following business day, which is Monday, October 17.

OTR urges taxpayers to file their returns electronically. E-filing is convenient, reduces the chance for error, and generates refunds more quickly.

The Monday deadline also applies to the 2015 Partnership Return of Income, form D-65.

Reminder: Computer System Changeover Starts October 24
Online filing and payment options will be limited during the conversion period; customer service centers will remain open

The second phase of the Office of Tax and Revenue’s (OTR) changeover to a new agency-wide computer system will begin on October 24, 2016 and continue through October 31, 2016. These changes are being completed as OTR streamlines the process for individuals and businesses to view, pay and, for some tax types, file their taxes using its new web portal, MyTax.DC.gov.

During the October conversion period, OTR’s customer service Walk-In and Telephone Centers will remain open to the public; however, a few of its online services will not be available. Taxpayers and tax professionals should therefore plan ahead.

Beginning November 1, 2016, MyTax.DC.gov replaces the Electronic Taxpayer Service Center (eTSC) for specific functions, and  will offer all the benefits of the existing system, along with a host of new functionalities. Exceptions will be Sales and Use, Ballpark, Department of Health Care Finance, Personal Property, and Motor Fuel taxes, which will continue to be filed and paid using eTSC at www.taxpayerservicecenter.com.

Services Temporarily Unavailable – October 24 through October 31, 2016
