Extension of Tax Deadlines

At TBC we have been continuously monitoring all developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19).  March 20, 2020 the US Treasury Secretary announced an additional three months to file taxes amid the coronavirus pandemic.

U.S. Tax Day is moving from April 15 to July 15.  All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.

This guidance has been updated since it was first released.  To see updated information please visit our website HERE.

For more information on NYS deadlines: https://www.tax.ny.gov/press/alerts/nys-tax-response-to-covid-19.htm

Just because the deadline has been extended does not mean we will slow down on our filings.  We are still encouraging all clients to submit tax documents as soon as possible, so we can continue to process returns.  Please send your Accountant all necessary information electronically through our secure system.  If you need assistance doing this, please email your Accountant.  If you still need to drop off paperwork, there will be a box located outside our front lobby door from 8:30am until 5:30pm.
