Tax filing season is in full swing and although the coronavirus pandemic continues, expectations are the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be sticking with the traditional filing deadlines this year. In 2020, initial submission dates were automatically extended from mid-April until July in response to the virus and uncertainty about the immediate future. These automatic extensions were put in place for individuals without the need to file a request.

As millions of returns are filed each season, the IRS’s ability to process, collect, and submit refunds in a somewhat timely manner is rather impressive - especially as deadlines approach. However, when filing your return, missing the cutoff date could cost you money. For this reason, marking your calendar now and planning ahead is the best way to ensure that your refund is filed on time this year.

S-Corp and Partnerships

Those filing S-Corp and Partnership returns have their first deadline fast approaching. One month before the well recognized date of April 15 for individual taxpayers - these returns must be submitted on or before March 15, 2021. Extension requests must also be filed by this date allowing for six additional months (September 15, 2021) to submit paperwork if accepted.

C-Corp

Businesses recognized as C-Corporations now have until April 15 in order to submit their returns. Understanding the filing category and type of your business is critical as this is not the case for S-Corp counterparts whose returns are due a month earlier.

Individual/Married/Head of Household

The infamous April 15 deadline returns for a vast majority of filers this season. After a brief reprieve last year, taxpayers must return to a more normalized schedule for processing their 2020 returns. Make plans to gather all necessary information, set appointments, and avoid any potential issues which could cause a last minute delay.

Extension

In the event you’re unable to file a return on time or do not wish to be rushed, extensions do exist and are available. However, please note that these are not extensions to pay, only to submit a return. If you know some amount will be owed once the return is complete, a payment must accompany the extension request. If not, penalties and interest on the amount, once determined, could be applied.
