Does Connecticut accept my approved federal business tax extension, or do they require a state extension form?
No, in addition to filing a Form 7004 with the IRS, you will need to file a separate extension form with Connecticut's state department to get an extension of time to file the Connecticut's business income tax return.
Note: If you have already filed federal Form 7004, then you no need to provide any 'reason' while filing a state extension form. However, the reason is mandatory if federal Form 7004 was not applied.
