Question

Taxes submitted around 1pm CST on the 15th. My 2 state returns weren't accepted until the 16th...am I going to be subject to a late filing penalty?

Federal return was accepted same day on the 15th, but my 2 state returns say accepted in the 16th despite me filing all 3 by 1pm CST. Are my 2 state returns considered late due to this? I don't owe money to either state and 1 I am set to get a return on.

If you submitted your state tax returns by 1pm CST on the 15th, but they were accepted on the 16th, you generally won't be subject to a late filing penalty, especially since you don't owe money to either state

States typically consider the submission time rather than the acceptance time for determining lateness

For more details, you can refer to TurboTax's state tax tips

Reach back your state - to check on state-specific rules.
