The federal government has moved the tax filing deadline from April 15 to July 15 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, and Americans can even file for an extension beyond that to Oct. 15. But they should do so with caution.
“You can extend, but the payment is always due,” Paul Miller, founder of Miller & Company LLP, a New York City-based CPA firm, told Yahoo Finance’s “On The Move” this week. “And when you extend, you extend with interest and penalties.”
Because of a host of difficulties the coronavirus has created for taxpayers, accountants, and government offices, the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service last month pushed back the due date federal returns to July 15, giving households as well as corporations an additional three months to file.
Democratic Governor Phil Murphy made the announcement and at the same time said the state had extended its fiscal year, which was set to close June 30 now to September 30. That’s because like many states, New Jersey relies on the annual April tax payments to pay its own bills. It puts tax filers who were worried about meeting the usual April 15 deadline in a good spot. “You don’t even have to file,” Miller says. “You have an automatic extension right now.”
