Hawaii

General Instructions

The Hawaii Department of Taxation does not require you to file a request for additional time. Hawaii grants an automatic extension until August 20, 2008 to file your 2007 tax return. However, Hawaii does require that 90 percent of your tax liability be paid on or before April 20, 2008 to avoid penalties and interest.

Penalty and Interest Charges on Tax Owed:

Those who pay at least 90 percent of their amount due on or before April 20, 2008 will only be charged interest on the unpaid balance. Those who pay less than the required 90 percent may also be charged a penalty if the balance is not paid by June 20, 2008.

• A Late Filing Penalty of 5 percent of the total tax due for each month or part of a month that the return is late, up to 25 percent.
• Interest is accrued at the rate of 2/3 of 1 percent for each month or part of a month on unpaid taxes and penalties.
• A Late Payment Penalty may be charged of 20 percent of the taxes not completely paid by June 20, 2008.
