New Mexico Tax Extension

[Dawn Hafner]

New Mexico has been granted a state wide extension for filing the 2000 federal tax returns, both for businesses and individuals. This extension is until 1/15/2002. This was given due to the fires.

Is this extension considered the same as if the employer actaully extended their corporate return, therefore giving them until 1/15/2002 to deposit their employer contributions to the plan and still have them be deductible?

Anyone have any documentation regarding this extension?
