The IRS previously moved the deadline for individuals to file 2020 federal income tax returns and pay any tax due from April 15 to May 17, 2021. Now, the same automatic extension applies to several other key tax deadlines, including:
If you have not reached your contribution limit for tax year 2020, you may continue to make 2020 contributions to traditional or Roth IRAs up until May 17. Taxpayers also have until May 17 to pay any tax due on 2020 IRA distributions, including the 10% penalty on non-exempt early withdrawals.
If you are owed a federal tax refund for 2017, you have until May 17, 2021 to file any returns or amended returns necessary to claim the refund.
Foreign estates and trusts that file Form 1040-NR have until May 17 to meet their federal tax filing and payment requirements.
Again, all of these deadline changes are automatic. You do not need to take any action in order to receive the extensions.
