October Tax Extension

The clock is ticking for taxpayers who filed for an extension on their 2019 taxes. October 15th is right around the corner. The IRS says you and your preparer should use the electronic filing option, one, because it’s fast and convenient, and two, it supports social distancing guidelines that are still in place.

While October 15th is the deadline, there are a few categories of people who still have even more time, including members of the military and others serving in the combat zone, as well as taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas who already have a valid extension.
