The Arkansas LLC tax return is due Mar 16, 2026 for the 2026 tax year. An extension is available until Sep 15, 2026.
Does Arkansas require LLC estimated tax payments?

What form do I file for a LLC in Arkansas?
LLC entities in Arkansas file using Form State business income tax return. You can download the form from Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration at https://www.dfa.arkansas.gov.
Can I get an extension for my Arkansas LLC tax return?
Yes. Arkansas allows an extension for LLC returns until Sep 15, 2026. Note that an extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay — any tax owed is still due by the original deadline of Mar 16, 2026.
What are the penalties for filing late in Arkansas?
Arkansas typically charges a failure-to-file penalty (usually 5% of unpaid tax per month, up to 25%) and a failure-to-pay penalty (usually 0.5-1% per month). Interest also accrues on unpaid balances. Filing for an extension by the original deadline avoids the failure-to-file penalty but not the failure-to-pay penalty.
