Extension Process

If the federal tax extension is filed and accepted, Arizona automatically grants you a 6-month state tax extension. If you do not file a federal tax extension or owe money, then you must fill out Form 204.

Payment Options

If you filed a federal extension but need to make a tax payment to Arizona, you can visit the AZ DOR website to see your options. https://aztaxes.gov/Home/PaymentIndividual/
