EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE

Commonwealth of Kentucky
Department of Revenue

Ø USE FOR INDIVIDUAL, GENERAL PARTNERSHIP, AND FIDUCIARY INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR KENTUCKY
Ø SEE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAYMENT REQUIRMENTS

Use this form if you are requesting a Kentucky extension of time to file. Taxpayers who request a federal extension are not required to file a
separate Kentucky extension, unless an amount is due with the extension. The requirement may be met by attaching federal Form 4868
(automatic extension) to the Kentucky return.
You may choose to electronically file your Kentucky extension for Individual returns. Filing electronically allows you the option to pay
electronically through a direct debit transaction scheduled on or before April 15, 2024.
All taxpayers filing this Application for Extension must complete Section I and the Payment Voucher. If no payment is being remitted, leave
the Amount Paid box on the Payment Voucher blank. If you are filing your Application of Extension electronically and choose to pay by direct
debit, complete Section II with your banking account information.
You will be notified only if the Application for Extension is denied. To avoid the late filing penalty, a copy of this form must be attached to
your return when filed. Keep a copy for yourself.
