2020 Tax Day

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline to file 2019 tax returns was extended to July 15 for this year only. The extension has allowed taxpayers to file up to three months after the normal April 15 deadline without penalties or interest.

Tax Day is tomorrow, July 15. If you have not yet filed your taxes, you have until tomorrow to file or request an extension.

If you need more time beyond the July 15 deadline to file, you can request an extension until October 15. You have until tomorrow to apply. For information about requesting an extension, click here.
