The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announce today that the federal income tax filing due date is automatically extended from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020.
Taxpayers can also defer federal income tax payments due on April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed. This deferment applies to all taxpayers, including individuals, trust ad estates, corporations and other non-corporate tax filers as well as those who pay self -employment tax.
Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief.
The IRS urges taxpayers who are due a refund to file as soon as possible. Mast tax refunds are still being issued within 21 days.
