because I paid late?
You may be.
If you qualify for an extension because your 2013 tax
liability is $200 or less, you also qualify for an extension
to pay and will not be subject to penalties and interest if you
pay your 2013 income tax liability by the extended due date
of the return.
If you qualify for an extension for any other reason,
but you have not paid your entire 2013 income tax liability
by April 15, 2014, you are relieved of the late fi le penalty
but you are not relieved of the late payment penalty and
interest on your outstanding Montana income tax liability.
