COVID-19 Update: IRS Extends Tax Deadline

Income Tax Deadline Changes

Today, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced a 90-day extension for the filing and payment of Federal income taxes for individuals and corporations moving the normal April 15, 2020 filing and payment deadline to July 15, 2020, including tax estimate payments.

At this time, it is unclear if this extended filing and payment deadline replaces the guidance provided earlier in the week in relation to the announced payment extension.  That announcement provided for a 90-day extension of payment of Federal income taxes due in aggregate of $1,000,000 for individuals regardless of filing status and $10,000,000 for C-corporations.

We expect further clarification of today’s filing and payment extension announcement in relation to the previously announced $1,000,000 individual and $10,000,000 C-corporations limits.  We are also unsure if all States will follow the Treasury’s extended filing and payment due date. We will provide updates as they become available.
