The tax reporting for the tax year 2019 is in full swing, IRS started accepting the tax returns already. The deadline to file a 2019 tax return and pay any tax owed is Wednesday, April 15, 2020. More than 150 million individual tax returns for the 2019 tax year are expected to be filed, with the vast majority of those coming before the April 15 tax deadline. When you’re not ready with your tax return, IRS encourages you to file Extension Applications to buy more time to report the taxes. Extension of time is only to report the taxes and not to pay the taxes that you owe. Income taxpayers both Individuals and Businesses can file applications for automatic extension of time that will push the actual deadline from April 15 to October 15. However the deadline for Extension of time application is also falls on the actual deadline, that is April 15th. For certain businesses the due date falls on March 16th (the actual deadline March 15th falls on a weekend, so the next business day March 16th falls as the new due date).
