Tax Filing & Payment Deadlines Update

Home / 

As you may have heard, the IRS has extended the filing and payment deadlines for individual and corporate tax returns that are due April 15, 2020. Payments that would otherwise be due April 15, 2020 are automatically extended until July 15, 2020 for payments of up to $1 million for individuals and up to $10 million for corporations. This payment extension also applies to first quarter estimated payments that are due April 15, 2020. There will be no interest and penalties accrued on balances due from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020, but they will begin to accrue on any unpaid balances as of July 15, 2020. No extension is required to be filed to qualify for the either the payment or filing extensions.

These extensions only apply to Federal income tax. New York state has stated that they will follow the Federal deadline for both payments and filing. Other states are setting their own policies and we are monitoring the situation and will let you know about any new developments as soon as we can.

We encourage you to submit your 2019 tax information to us as soon as possible.
