Tax Season Update Regarding COVID-19
Tax Season Update Regarding COVID-19
The Treasury Secretary made an announcement about tax relief due to COVID-19.
As of now, this is what we understand based on this announcement:
- the individual filing deadline is still April 15
- those who can file their taxes should file by the normal tax filing deadline
- those who can’t file by the deadline should file an extension by April 15
- taxpayer’s both individual and corporations, can defer a tax due payment, interest-free and penalty-free, for an additional 90 days after April 15
The IRS will still need to address the following:
- whether or not quarterly estimate tax payments can be deferred
- any changes related to filing 1041 returns
