DON’T FILE FOR AN EXTENSION. USE THESE TIPS TO GET YOUR TAXES FILED ON TIME | Tax season officially begins on Feb. 12 to make sure all of the IRS’s new systems and programs work properly. Although things are far from normal, you can count on tax season rolling around right on schedule (the deadline is still April 15). Even with two months to get everything together, it’s likely that a large portion of Americans will end up filing for extensions on their tax returns. In 2019, more than 15 million Americans filed for six-month extensions for their 2018 tax returns, which gave them until Oct. 15 to file. The following year, all Americans received a three-month extension to file taxes in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. This moved the deadline from April 15 to July 15, leading to more than 20 million fewer Americans filing by the April 15 deadline. Get your taxes filed on time this year with these tips from the IRS as well as Atiya Brown, founder of The Savvy Accountant.
