BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana state personal income tax filings are due Tuesday.

The state Department of Revenue says anyone who wants an extension, to have more time to prepare and file the tax return, needs to request it ahead of the deadline to avoid late-filing penalties.

An extension doesn't give someone additional time to pay any taxes due. Tax payments received after the return due date still will be subject to interest and late-payment penalties.

Taxpayers can submit an extension request electronically and get more information online at: www.revenue.louisiana.gov/extensions. .
