Message from our CT State CPA Society: CTCPA Working to Address Delay of Connecticut Forms in Tax Software Platforms

Regarding issues with software vendors who do not yet have Connecticut forms prepared for this tax season. Unfortunately, the Connecticut DRS has confirmed that they did not transmit the necessary information to the software companies until February 7, significantly delaying when the software companies could be up and running.

Based on the DRS Commissioner’s authority to extend, due to statutory limitations, he was only able to extend two of the dates to April 15, 2025 as requested:

• Form CT-PET, Connecticut Pass-Through Entity Tax Return
• Form CT-1065/CT-1120SI, Connecticut Composite Income Tax Return

The DRS is unable to extend Form CT-PET EXT, Application for Extension of Time. This means that if anyone anticipates needing to file for extension, that form needs to be filed by March 15, 2025.

If an extension is not needed and Form CT-PET and Form CT-1065/CT-1120SI are able to be filed by the extended deadline of April 15, 2025, no application needs to be made; settlement is agreed upon if you have filed and paid by April 15 and no late fees or penalties will be assessed.

Latest information as of December 26th:
It was back on and now it is back OFF again, for now.

In another turn of events, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order on December 26 stating it was reinstating a lower court's injunction halting enforcement of beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements imposed by the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and enforced by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

This reverses an order the same court issued earlier this week “in order to preserve the constitutional status quo while the merits panel considers the parties' weighty substantive arguments."

The AICPA, CTCPA, and other state CPA associations have been urging the government to postpone the original January 1, 2025 BOI reporting deadline by at least a year. As these organizations seek more guidance from FinCEN, we continue to advise those assisting clients with BOI filings to continue to gather needed information and be prepared to file in case the injunction is lifted again.

Three days after a panel of judges granted a Department of Justice motion to lift the injunction, another panel said it was reinstating a lower court’s ruling. An AICPA statement Friday urged CPAs to be prepared to file BOI reports.
