Mississippi grants an automatic six-month extension for filing personal income tax returns to taxpayers who have been approved for a federal extension by the IRS. The Mississippi Department of Revenue mirrors the federal timeline, moving the state filing deadline from April 15, 2026, to October 15, 2026. No separate Mississippi extension application is required.
Important: Attach Form 4868 When You File Your ReturnWhen you file your Mississippi return by October 15, attach a copy of your federal Form 4868 to the return. Keep a copy available when preparing your Mississippi return.
