With the tax filing deadline on April 15 approaching, North Dakota Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus urges taxpayers to file their income tax returns or request an extension from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

“Our goal is to be readily available and provide exceptional service to North Dakota taxpayers,” stated Commissioner Kroshus. “Our agency is here to assist with any tax-related questions, including those related to last-minute filings.”

Taxpayers needing assistance are advised to call 701-328-1247 or visit the North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner on the 8th floor of the State Capitol building during weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. It's important for visitors to check in at the checkpoint on the ground floor at the south entrance before proceeding to the 8th floor.

“If a taxpayer is unable to file by the April 15 deadline, they should request an extension before this date through the IRS,” Commissioner Kroshus emphasized. “Our office is here to provide citizens with a variety of services, including those found on the North Dakota Taxpayer Access Point (ND TAP), where they can track refunds, make payments, and access other valuable resources electronically.”

To apply for an extension, taxpayers are required to submit Form 4868 – Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return by Tax Day. Approved extensions for federal returns will also be valid for North Dakota returns.

As of April 1, the office has processed over 255,243 returns. Commissioner Kroshus encourages filing electronically and choosing direct deposit or electronic payments for greater accuracy, security, and promptness.

Additional information on North Dakota tax-related programs is accessible on the Office of State Tax Commissioner’s website at www.tax.nd.gov or via their social media channels.
