Is there a deadline to request an extension to file a Louisiana Corporation Income and Franchise taxes return?


No. Corporate taxpayers who need additional time to file their Louisiana corporation income and franchise tax returns do not need to file for an extension. You will automatically be granted an extension of six months if you timely requested an extension for federal income tax purposes. (Answer revised November 6, 2023)
