Mid-week, the IRS, acting in accordance with the President\u2019s emergency declaration pursuant to the Stafford Act, originally extended only the time for certain tax payments, but not filings. Now, the IRS has clarified that both tax returns and tax payments originally due to be filed April 15th are extended three months.<\/p>\n<p>Taxpayers can defer federal income tax payments due without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed; the latter is an important change from the earlier announcement as it related to corporations, which were only originally permitted to defer a certain amount. Now, this deferment applies to all taxpayers, including individuals, trusts and estates, corporations and other non-corporate tax filers.<\/p>\n<p>Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief. Taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the July 15 deadline can request a filing extension by filing Form 4868 (individual) or Form 7004 (businesses).<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.khflaw.com\/news\/covid-19-updates-delay-for-tax-day\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading COVID-19 UPDATES: Delay for Tax Day\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a few false starts, the IRS announced over the weekend that the federal income tax filing due date is automatically extended to July 15, 2020.
