Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the IRS and a number of states have issued new filing and payment dates. We’ve put together this infographic to help you quickly find the answers you need. Data sources are state departments of revenue or governors’ websites. This content is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge; however, given the evolving situation, we strongly recommend you also check with states for the latest guidance.
Note that many states, including New York, have stated they will piggyback any federal extensions to file, yet they have not released guidance regarding the recent extension of time to file and pay that was granted by the IRS. It is unknown how such states will react to this IRS extension.
The below summary does not include extensions for industry specific taxes, such as motor fuels excise taxes and registration fees. It also excludes states that have made only verbal representations that they will piggyback the IRS extensions. As written guidance is released, it will be included accordingly.
