Tax Preparation Resources

The 2020 Tax filing deadline has been extended to May 17, 2021. 


The IRS urges taxpayers who are owed a refund to file as quickly as possible. For those who can't file by the May 17, 2021 deadline, the IRS reminds individual taxpayers that everyone is eligible to request a six-month extension to file their return. The easiest and fastest way to request a filing extension is to electronically file Form 4868 through a tax professional, tax software or using the Free File link on IRS.gov. Businesses must file Form 7004.
