Drake Tax supports several state extensions for e-filing in the different return types. See the table below for extensions that can be e-filed with a federal extension or with the main federal return. They are also listed on the EF screen in the drop lists for the Select other states/cities to e-file fields.

To generate any of these extensions in the business packages, go to Data Entry > States tab > Select desired state >​ Enter the Screen Code listed below. Select to generate the extension and make any other needed entries (amount due, etc.). The extension will be shown in View/Print mode. For 1040 returns only, the STEX screen is available on the States tab from which you can generate multiple state extensions with fewer entries. See Drake Tax - 1040 - State Extensions Screen (STEX) for details.

Make sure to change the EF Selections screen to indicate only the return type(s) that you want to file - state selection codes indicated below - before selecting and transmitting the extensions.

Additional Information

• Some states may accept online extensions. For more information on state extensions, log in to the Drake Support Website, and on the home page select Support > Documents > Federal/State Facts.

• Where there is a balance due, all states require a balance due (or most of it) to be paid on the original filing date, to avoid penalty and interest, regardless of whether an extension is filed or granted.

• This information is provided as a convenience. Since state laws vary widely, you should review the specific state requirements before you file.

• Some states will only accept an e-filed extension request.

• Some extensions are only able to be e-filed if there is a payment due.

• For more information on how to file specific state extensions, see the respective state's FAQ screen within the Drake Tax state module.
