| Therefore, you only need to use Form 504 to apply for additional time to file your income tax return when you owe additional Oklahoma income tax or you do not have a Federal extension. Also, corporations need to use this form when filing for additional time beyond that granted by the Federal extension. When you file your Oklahoma return, enclose a copy of the Oklahoma Extension. |
