Filing taxes is a responsibility that comes around every year, and sometimes, individuals need a little more time to prepare their Delaware Individual Income Tax Return. That's where the Delaware 1027 form steps in, providing a structured way for residents to request an automatic extension. This offer isn't just a simple delay; it's a specifically designed form, ensuring residents can extend their filing deadline without penalty until October 15, allowing for a detailed and accurate submission. Users are instructed to prepare this form in duplicate, submitting the original to the Division of Revenue by the original due date and attaching the duplicate to their tax return. The form also accommodates various scenarios, such as joint filings where both spouses must sign, even if only one had income, and cases where a taxpayer cannot sign due to illness or absence, allowing for a duly authorized agent to apply on their behalf. It's crucial to note this extension grants extra time for filing, not for payment, which means any balance due is expected to be paid with the application to avoid interest accrual. The completion guidelines are clear: fill in expected total income tax liability, withholdings, estimated tax payments including any prior year's overpayment, and other credits to calculate the balance due. Also, specific provisions are outlined for those filing separate returns, late filings, and situations where no tax is owed but an extension is still sought to align with federal extensions. With penalties established for late returns without reasonable cause, the form doubles as a safeguard against unintended noncompliance, granting peace of mind alongside additional time.
