Mississippi Business State Tax Extension I S Corporations Filing Guide

Form 83-180 | Application for Automatic Extension  ·  S-Corporations  ·  Business Filing Guide

Overview

Mississippi S Corporations are subject to state business tax filing requirements, administered by the Mississippi Department of Revenue. Mississippi grants an automatic extension tied to an approved IRS extension, making the process simple for businesses that have already filed IRS Form 7004.

Original Filing Deadline

• The original due date for the Mississippi S-Corporations return is March 16, 2026. File or remit full payment by this date to remain in good standing.
• Extension Period & Extended Deadline
• Mississippi automatically grants an extension to file, provided you have obtained an approved federal extension from the IRS by filing IRS Form 7004. With a valid IRS extension, the Mississippi extended deadline becomes September 15, 2026. No separate state extension form is required—the federal extension serves as your Mississippi extension.

Payment Is Still Due by Original Deadline

The extension applies to filing only—it is not an extension to pay taxes owed. Any outstanding tax liability must be paid by the original due date of March 16, 2026 to avoid penalties and interest. Use the Mississippi | Online Tax Extension Payment to pay electronically. For mail-in payments, use Form 83-180 | Application for Automatic Extension and send to: Department of Revenue P.O. Box 23191 Jackson, MS 39225-3191

Late Filing and Payment Penalties

• Failure to File: 5% per month, up to 25%.
• Failure to Pay: 0.5% of tax due, plus an additional 0.5% for each additional month, not to exceed 25%.

Best Practices

• Estimate and pay your Mississippi business tax by March 16, 2026 to avoid interest and penalties.
• File IRS Form 7004 with the IRS to secure your federal extension, which Mississippi automatically honors.
• Use the state online payment portal for fast, convenient electronic payment.
• Set a reminder to file your completed Mississippi S-Corporations return by September 15, 2026.

Final Thoughts

• Mississippi’s business tax extension is straightforward once your federal extension is approved. Pay 100% of any tax due by March 16, 2026 and file your S-Corporations return by September 15, 2026.
