The COVID-19 outbreak is affecting every aspect of daily life, from children going to school remotely, to enforceable social distancing rules. The influence of this pandemic is felt in all industries, businesses and fields, including the IRS. In mid-March, it was announced that due to the Coronavirus epidemic, all Ohio individual and school district income tax returns, payments with returns, and estimated payments with due dates from April 15, 2020 through June 15, 2020 would be extended to July 15, 2020, without interest or penalty. While this extension affects all individual and school district income tax returns, it can still make taxes more difficult. At Sheppard Law Offices, we can help you navigate the ins and outs of these complex extensions, payments and returns.
Do I really have until July 15th to file my State taxes?
Yes, the Ohio state government has been extended the due date to July 15th, 2020. However, it doesn’t mean you have to wait. If you’re able, it’s still highly encouraged that you file when you can. An earlier filing means that you’ll be able to get your tax refund sooner.
What about federal taxes?
Federal taxes have also been extended until July 15th, 2020. Individuals and businesses have until then to file and make payments without accruing interest or penalties. Again, if possible, you should file as soon as you can to ensure you get your return faster.
While this extension is a pleasant surprise to many people, it doesn’t help if you’re already having tax problems. At Sheppard Law Offices, we can help.
