Federal Tax Filing Deadline Extended to July 15th

Please note that this blog is based on laws effective March 21, 2020 and may not contain later amendments. Please contact Cray Kaiser for most recent information.

On Friday, March 20, Steve Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, released a statement that the federal tax filing deadline has moved in response to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The new deadline of July 15, 2020 corresponds with the tax payment deadline previously rescheduled earlier in the week. We do not yet have clarity on tax deadlines for certain states, including Illinois. We will keep you posted as guidance is provided.

What this means for you:
Due to the extenuating circumstances surrounding COVID-19, and the Illinois “stay at home” requirement, our office has closed to the public and our employees are working from home. See more about how our operations have been affected below.

We’re here to help:
We understand that this situation can be extremely frustrating. We empathize with what you are feeling as we all navigate this situation together. Please know we are doing all that we can to complete work in an accurate and efficient manner.
