IRS extends 2020 tax payment deadline to July 15

[stopbush]

You must still file by April 15. Six-month extensions on paying any tax owed are still available. The IRS asks those owed a refund to file ASAP.

Have you done your taxes?

1. Planned for this weekend

Will have to pay some (Hubby and I are both sole proprietors), but not too bad. And nothing to the state (see previous note--Ohio is generous to small businesses).

2. My one outing, today, was to go and sign my tax form

Getting a refund, too.

3. This is dumb. I am in a mandatory shelter-in-place area in California. What happens to people

who have to go to a tax-preparer to have their returns done, if these businesses/organizations are even open during this social distancing time?

5. My tax preparer lives 250 miles away, so we do our taxes via the USPS.

We owe the Feds $3. State taxes are $0.

BTW. What, exactly, is “dumb?”

7. Sorry for not being clear. I meant that the IRS should understand that there are people who

might have trouble getting their returns done because of the shelter-in-place rules. More specifically, there are low-income seniors who use seniors services to do their returns and these organizations are often closed due to the shelter-in-place rules. (There are a couple of them, seniors, on my block.)

4. Just file for an extension. It's one form, and easy to fill out.

Since there are no penalties for late payment, file and pay on July 15, or earlier. I'll wait for my $1000 check or maybe two of them, if they send them to individuals. $2000 would cover it.

I haven't filed on April 15 for years. We're self-employed and never have what we owe in April. Property taxes are due, too, so...

6. Mine were filed today

Refunds from both the state and feds.
