Tax and Rev allows extension for Ruidoso disaster relief

SANTA FE—The Taxation and Revenue Department (TRD) allows an extension for individuals and businesses that are taxpayers affected by the Ruidoso floods in Lincoln County.

Taxpayers affected by the recent floods with various business tax returns with normal due dates of July 25 and August 25 can now file those returns by October 27. The extension will result in no penalty being imposed for a late filed return or for a late payment. State law does not allow the Department to waive interest.

Information about who qualifies and other details is available in Bulletin 100.47 available in the publications folder on the Forms & Publications webpage.

Taxpayers taking advantage of the state extension should notify TRD by letter or email that they qualify as affected taxpayers and provide supporting documentation. This can be done before filing or after receiving a notice for late payment penalties and interest.

Taxpayers can also complete Form RPD-41096, Extension of Time to File. A link to that

form and other general information about tax extensions is available on the “ Extension of Time to File ” webpage.

Forms or letters may be emailed to the following addresses to expedite processing:
