(c) If the due date for a federal income tax return in the Internal Revenue Code, as determined without regard to any extensions, Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays, is later than the date provided in subsection (a), the due date for the return made pursuant to this section shall be the later of the due date for the federal income tax return or the due date provided under this section.
