As we turn the corner on a new year, it is important to be aware of important tax deadlines and dates for filing your 2020 tax returns, so that you can be prepared and avoid headaches and penalties. In 2020, the IRS extended tax deadlines in response to COVID-19. Generally, deadlines for annual returns are in the spring with extensions available until the fall. Although dates are always subject to change, no such provisions have been enacted to date for this year.
