The federal income tax filing due date is extended from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020.
This extension results from President’s natural emergency declaration as a result of the COVID-19 virus. Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief.
Since contributions to an IRA must be made by the annual tax filing due date, the contribution deadline is also July 15, 2020.
