Mississippi residents have 15 days remaining to file and pay their individual income taxes, according to the Mississippi Department of Revenue. The deadline is April 15.
Taxpayers who receive an extension to file their federal return are automatically granted an extension for their Mississippi return. However, the extension only applies to filing; it does not extend the time to pay any taxes owed. Payments must be made by April 15 to avoid interest and penalties, officials said.
The department offers a frequently asked questions page for taxpayers seeking more information. It is available at https://www.dor.ms.gov/individual/individual-income-tax-frequently-asked-questions.
Tax professionals advise timely payments to prevent additional charges. The deadline is approaching quickly, and taxpayers are urged to file and pay promptly.
