If you thought that filing taxes in 2019 was a\nconfusing process, the situation is not much simpler in 2020. With the COVID-19\npandemic sweeping through the U.S. and the world in the early months of the\nyear, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has made adjustments to filing\ndeadlines. The following is an overview of tax deadlines in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First and foremost, the IRS has extended the\nstandard tax filing date from April 15 to July 15, 2020. This means you do not\nhave to file your federal returns until July, and you will not be charged\ninterest on payments until after July 15. This can help many people who might\nowe taxes but are facing financial hardship due to temporary job loss or a\ndecline in self-employed business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most states have adjusted either the filing\ndate for taxes or at least the payment due date to match the IRS. California is one state<\/a> that postponed both\nthe filing and payment deadlines for all individual filers and businesses. If\nyou owe taxes in another state, you should make sure you are aware of the\nrelevant deadlines in that state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Were you working part-time or a student in\n2016 and did not file your returns? Did you fail to file returns for another\nreason? If so, you might still be owed a refund for that year. The deadline to\nfile your 2016 returns to claim a refund is still April 15. If you fail to file\nfor 2016 by then, you lose your opportunity to collect that refund check. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLook Back to Your 2016 Taxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
