ATTENTION: CHANGES TO LATE FILING FEE
​
The late filing fee is now $25.00 PER MONTH ($150.00 maximum).

If you filed your federal return on extension, a copy of said extension needs to be filed with the municipality in order to avoid late filing fees up to October 15, 2021.
An extension only extends the time of filing, Any tax liability was still due by the May 17th deadline to avoid penalty and interest charges.



​MANDATORY FILING EXEMPTION
