It’s Past April 15. But Your Federal Taxes Are Not Due Yet.

April 15, 2020

April 15th has come and gone, but your federal income taxes are not due.

The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced automatically extended the federal income tax filing due date from April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 and payment relief. Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the July 15 deadline, can request a filing extension by filing Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or using the Free File link on IRS.gov.

The IRS urges taxpayers who are due a refund to file as soon as possible. Most tax refunds are still being issued within 21 days.

“Even with the filing deadline extended, we urge taxpayers who are owed refunds to file as soon as possible and file electronically,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. ”Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get refunds. Although we are curtailing some operations during this period, the IRS is continuing with mission-critical operations to support the nation, and that includes accepting tax returns and sending refunds. As a federal agency vital to the overall operations of our country, we ask for your personal support, your understanding – and your patience. I’m incredibly proud of our employees as we navigate through numerous different challenges in this very rapidly changing environment.”

    I went to a IRS site and it ask to certain questions about my return in 2018 or 2019 and my bank account information and every time I enter that information it states my information doesn’t match with their records

    I file my taxes two weeks ago. I made 2900.00 in 2019 and 3600 in 18. I file a return specifically to get stimulus. The took 177$ for fees and my total refund was only 356. Before fees. It still is unprocessed and now I can’t get stimulus because it’s has not processed it. It’s been 14 days. Status is still received. Still no stimulus. Won’t be any stimulus until processed. This is insane to me. I’ve been battling illness and have no insurance and have been to sick to work for months.
