TPP Tax Return Filing Deadline

The deadline to file the TPP Tax Return is April 1st (*). If you do not file a return or apply for an extension by the April 1 deadline, you will not qualify for the $25,000 Tangible Personal Property Exemption. 

The filing deadline does not apply to taxpayers who filed an initial TPP Tax Return and have been waived from filing subsequent returns UNLESS the TPP Value is more than $25,000 as of January 1st of the any year. 

*Dates are due dates or deadlines, unless otherwise stated.  Most dates that fall on a weekend or holiday are moved to the next business day.
