Feds have extended the tax filing deadline but what about your state tax return?

Way back in March 2021 the Treasury Department announced that the filing deadline for 2020 individual income tax returns was extended to May 17, 2021. But, what about your state income tax return (if you have a state income tax to pay)? Don’t just assume that your state return due date is also extended.

To keep up with your state’s due date for 2020 tax returns its best to check directly with your state tax agency. If you’d like to take a short cut to finding your state’s status we’d suggest visiting the American Institute of CPAs Web site for an updated state-by-state status listing at https://future.aicpa.org/resources/download/state-tax-due-dates-updated-for-covid-19-relief.
