The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced 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, trusts and 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 payment and relief.

The New York State tax deadline has also been postponed to match the federal extension.

As your trusted professionals, we will keep you informed of any future tax updates as they arise.
