RULES FOR 2011 PERSONAL PROPERTY EXTENSIONS

An extension allows a business to file a personal property return on or before June 15, 2011 without

incurring a late filing penalty. The two options for requesting an extension are via the Internet or by

paper document.

1) Internet extension requests via the Department’s website are available from February 1, 2011

through April 15, 2011 and are free of charge. This option offers accurate Department ID# look-up,

verification of previously submitted extensions, printed confirmation lists and confirmation

numbers, and recall lists by last year’s confirmation number.

Please visit our website at

and click on “Filing Extension” underneath “What’s New” any time on or after

February 1, 2011.

2) Extension requests submitted via paper documents must be postmarked or received by SDAT

or before March 15, 2011

and require a

$20 non-refundable processing fee

for each

entity. If using this method, businesses should use the Department’s extension request Form AT3-71

to help ensure that complete and accurate information is submitted. It is available on our website and

through our forms request phone line (410-767-1180). Businesses and preparers must retain copies

of all request forms and cancelled checks used to pay for paper extensions in the event of a

discrepancy between the entity’s and the Department’s records.

3) Extension requests via fax or telephone are no longer available.
