7-2-12. Taxpayer returns; payment of tax.

A. Every resident of this state and every individual deriving income from any business transaction, property or employment within this state and not exempt from tax under the Income Tax Act who is required by the laws of the United States to file a federal income tax return shall file a complete tax return with the department in form and content as prescribed by the secretary. Except as provided in Subsection B of this section, a resident or any individual who is required by the provisions of the Income Tax Act to file a return or pay a tax shall, on or before the due date of the resident's or individual's federal income tax return for the taxable year, file the return and pay the tax imposed for that year.

B. When the department approves electronic media for use by a taxpayer whose taxable year is a calendar year, the taxpayer who uses electronic media for both filing and payment must submit the required return and the tax imposed on residents and individuals under the Income Tax Act on or before the last day of the month in which the resident's or individual's federal income tax return is originally due for the taxable year. The due date provided in this subsection does not apply to residents or individuals who have received a filing extension from New Mexico or an automatic extension from the federal internal revenue service for the same taxable year.
