Federal Tax Filing Deadline Extended from April 15 to July 15

On Wednesday, March 18, the IRS stated that while the tax filing deadline would remain unchanged, any taxpayers owing income tax that would be due on April 15, 2020, would have until July 15, 2020, to make that payment, with no penalty and interest.

 

This morning, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced that the tax filing deadline would also be pushed back until July 15, 2020, for all tax returns with an original due date of April 15. This includes individual income tax returns, estates, trusts, and calendar year C corporations.
