Filing Extensions
Despite the April 15th deadline being pushed back to July 15, 2020, many individuals will still need an extension to file their taxes due to COVID-19.
The IRS has reminded taxpayers filing Form 1040 returns that they must file Form 4868 by July 15 to obtain the automatic extension to October 15, 2020. It is important to note that the extension gives extra time to file the tax return, NOT to further postpone payment on any taxes due. If any taxes are owed, the IRS is requiring that taxpayers pay what they can by July 15, 2020 to avoid penalties and interest. If taxpayers are unable to pay all of their taxes due to COVID-19, the IRS has made several payment options available.
