Minnesota
State Business Income Tax Extension

What Form does the state of Minnesota require to apply for
an extension?

Since no additional state extension form is required, even businesses without an approved federal extension aren’t required to file a state
extension form.

There is no state-specific form to request an extension, as the state of Minnesota automatically provides the extension for up to 7 months for businesses to file an income tax return with
the state.
