IRS provided additional relief which superseded this guidance. Refer to updated IRS relief.
As the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues, IRS has announced various measures to provide relief to taxpayers. Below is a summary of the measures announced related to tax payments.
Deferred tax payments
IRS has announced deferral of tax payments for 90 days. Individuals can defer up to $1 million in tax payments that would have been due on April 15th for 90 days without any interest or penalties.
Corporations can defer tax payments of up to $10 million for 90 days.
Tax returns or extensions still needed
Even with the deferral in payments, individuals and corporations are still required to file their taxes or apply for 6 months extension by April 15th.
Estimated tax payments
The 90 days payment extension also applies to estimated tax payments that were due on April 15, 2020. Therefore, the estimated tax payment that was due on April 15, 2020 is now due on July 15, 2020. This relief does not change any other estimated tax payment dates.
