The NC annual report and tax day share April 15. They are not the same deadline.
LLC annual reports are due April 15 under G.S. 57D-2-24; calendar-year corporations owe theirs the same day under G.S. 55-16-22. Extending your tax return does not extend either report.

Different law, different office
Tax deadlines come from the IRS and NCDOR. The annual report deadline comes from the entity statutes and is enforced by the Secretary of State.
