What is the deadline for the NY CT-6 form? How long do I have to file it?
Because every state has different tax laws and regulations, we can’t give you specific advice with any State tax filing such as the CT-6 form. What we can tell you is that the CT-6 is required for all New York businesses electing S-corp status; failure to file the form will result in being taxed as a C-corporation. Our research indicates that you must file the CT-6 “on or before the fifteenth day of the third month of the tax year to which the election will apply,” according to the NY Taxpayer Services Division. However, regardless of the time of year you incorporated, you will still need to file the CT-6 in order to obtain S-Corp status with the State.

Alternately, you could contact the State’s Tax Department directly at 1-888-698-2908. A representative there will be able to point you in the right direction.
