COVID-19 Tax Update: State-by-state payment reference guide

03.26.21

To help give you more time to file and pay your federal taxes, the US Treasury and IRS announced they’re moving the Tax Day deadline. The new due date for filing your taxes is now May 17th. The date has been extended “to help taxpayers navigate the unusual circumstances related to the pandemic.”

Taxpayers had fewer days to file their taxes than in previous years due to the IRS starting tax season later this year. Tax season is already in full swing, with the IRS processing tax returns while sending out stimulus payments at the same time. The extension will give the agency, as well as individual taxpayers, more time to prepare and process tax forms.

The new extension does not give you more time to pay your estimated tax payments, however. The May 17th deadline does not apply to quarterly estimated payments, which are still due on April 15th. The extended deadline also does not apply to other types of tax returns that are due on April 15th, such as corporate or trust tax returns. Those forms are still due April 15th. Many professional organizations are requesting that all forms due April 15th be granted an extension to June 15th. So far, that request has not been granted by the IRS and may not be.

Most states have conformed to the new IRS deadline, or offered a separate, later deadline, but a few have not
