Article updated on 3/29/2020 to reflect changes in the State of Michigan tax deadline.
On Friday, March 20th, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced that the federal tax filing deadline would be moved from April 15th to July 15th. On Saturday, March 21st, the Treasury announced the federal tax payment deadline for balances due with the 2019 income tax return would be moved from April 15th to July 15th. These automatic extensions apply to all individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and any non-corporate filers with a 2019 income tax return due date of April 15, 2020.
Since these initial announcements, the Treasury has provided clarification on the applicability of these deferrals on other tax payments and Michigan has announced new deadlines as well. AHP has created a chart to summarize these clarifications. Click here to download and print the chart. Please note that each state is responsible for how it is handling deferment of deadlines.
