Does Delaware require Partnership estimated tax payments?

What form do I file for a Partnership in Delaware?
Partnership entities in Delaware file using Form State business income tax return. You can download the form from Delaware Division of Revenue at https://revenue.delaware.gov.
Can I get an extension for my Delaware Partnership tax return?
Yes. Delaware allows an extension for Partnership 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 Delaware?
Delaware 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.
