Can I get an extension for my New York Sole Proprietorship tax return?

Yes. New York allows an extension for Sole Proprietorship returns until Oct 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 Apr 15, 2026.

What are the penalties for filing late in New York?

New York 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.
