Tax filing deadline extended to May 17

The IRS has announced an extension to the traditional tax filing deadline from April 15 to May 17 for individual taxpayers and taxpayers who pay self-employment tax. For taxpayers who owe money to the IRS, the deadline to pay is also extended to May 17, without penalties or interest. Overseas filers can still take advantage of the automatic extended filing date of July 15. However, this automatic filing date for overseas filers does not prevent the accrual of penalties or interest for those who owe; payments must be made by May 17 to avoid these fees. Of note, this extension only applies to federal tax filing and not to state filing. Check with your state tax agency for filing deadlines.
