(A) The return shall set forth:
(1) The aggregate amounts of qualifying wages, commissions, other compensation received, allocated, apportioned or set aside, other income defined by statute as taxable, and gross income from any business, profession, or other activity, less allowable expenses incurred in the acquisition of such gross income, earned during the preceding year and subject to the tax;
(2) The amount of the tax imposed by this chapter on such earnings and profits; and
(3) Such other pertinent statements, information returns, copies of federal or state tax returns and/or schedules, or other information as the Finance Director may require, including a statement that the figures used in the return are the figures used for federal income tax, adjusted to set forth only such income as is taxable under the provisions of this chapter.
(B) (1) Any taxpayer that has requested an extension for filing a federal income tax return may request an extension for the filing of a municipal income tax return by filing a copy of the taxpayer’s federal extension request with the municipal tax division. Any taxpayer not required to file a federal income tax return may request an extension for filing a municipal income tax return in writing. The request for extension must be filed on or before the original due date for the annual return. The extended due date of the municipal income tax return shall be the last day of the month following the month to which the due date of the federal income tax return has been extended.
(2) The Finance Director may deny a taxpayer’s request for extension if the taxpayer:
(a) Fails to timely file the request;
(b) Fails to file a copy of the federal extension request (if applicable);
(c) Owes the municipality any delinquent income tax, penalty, interest or other charge for the late payment or nonpayment of income tax; or
(d) Has failed to file any required income tax return, report, or other related document for a prior tax period.
(3) The granting of an extension for filing a municipal tax return does not extend the due date as provided in this section for payment of the tax; hence, penalty and interest may apply to any unpaid tax during the period of extension at the rate set out by § 39.006. No penalty shall be assessed in those cases in which the return is filed and the final tax paid within the extension period provided all other filing and payment requirements of this chapter have been met. Any extension by the Finance Director shall be granted upon the condition that declaration filing and payment requirements have been fulfilled; however, if, upon further examination it then becomes evident that declaration filing and payment requirements have not been fulfilled, penalty and interest may be assessed in full and in the same manner as though no extension had been granted.
