The Department of Taxation (DOTAX) in Hawaiʻi has issued a reminder to residents and nonresidents regarding the upcoming tax deadlines for both state and federal income tax returns. According to DOTAX, Hawaiʻi state individual income tax returns are due on Monday, April 22, 2024, while the deadline for federal income tax returns is Monday, April 15, 2024.
Taxpayers who may not be able to meet the April 22 deadline have the option to request an automatic six-month extension under certain conditions, as explained by DOTAX. The department also encourages taxpayers to consider electronically filing their tax returns, as it can lead to faster processing times and quicker refunds.
For those expecting refunds, DOTAX recommends using direct deposit as the quickest method to receive the money. Additionally, tax forms and instructions are readily available online for download or printing, or can be picked up at state tax offices.
Taxpayers awaiting refunds can check the status of their returns online through the designated portal on the DOTAX website. However, caution is advised against potential scams where individuals impersonate government agencies to intimidate people into making payments.
In light of these reminders and procedures, the DOTAX website serves as a comprehensive resource for taxpayers seeking additional information, forms, and guidance on filing their tax returns. In case of any issues or queries, Taxpayer Services agents are also available for assistance by phone during specified hours.
For further details and assistance, taxpayers are directed to visit the DOTAX website at https://tax.hawaii.gov or contact Taxpayer Services at 808-587-4242.
