Those who filed for extensions on their federal income tax returns have until October 15, 2021 to get their taxes in. The Internal Revenue Service will penalize anyone who files after that date.
IRS spokesperson, Luis D. Garcia said, “October 15 is the deadline for just about everyone. Only certain members of the military and taxpayers who already had valid extensions and live in areas affected by this summer’s severe storms and flooding have more time.”
Taxpayers in Macomb County who were affected by the storms, flooding, and tornadoes who had valid extensions to file their 2020 returns, now have until November 1st to file.
The IRS encourages everyone to take advantage of Free File if they earned $72,000 or less in 2020. There are also Free File fillable forms for those who earned more and are comfortable preparing their own taxes.
