Can I get an extension for my Utah C Corporation tax return?
Yes. Utah allows an extension for C Corporation 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 Utah?
Utah 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.
