On Friday morning, the Treasury Department and IRS announced that the income tax filing deadline has now been extended to July 15, 2020.
Earlier this week, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin announced the extension of the tax payment deadline, but did not change the filing deadline – that has now changed. The agencies have now extended both the filing deadline for filing individual and business income tax returns, as well as the payment deadline for those who owe taxes.”
The Maryland Comptroller’s Office will conform with the Internal Revenue Service’s 90-day extension of federal income tax payments from April 15 to July 15, 2020. Comptroller Franchot said Maryland individual and corporate income taxpayers will be afforded the same relief for state income tax payments. No interest or penalty for late payments will be imposed if 2019 tax payments are made by July 15, 2020. Taxpayers must file for an extension for the filing of FEDERAL taxes by April 15. Taxpayers should refer to the IRS for further details.
