Anyone can request an automatic tax-filing extension, but some people get extra time without asking, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this year the IRS postponed the usual April 15 deadline for filing individual income tax returns until May 17, 2021. Even so, as is the case every year, many Americans will still need more time to meet their tax-filing obligation.
Tax deadlines can sneak up on you, and nothing is more aggravating than having to pay a fine you could have avoided. Save each relevant filing date to your calendar and stay one step ahead of the IRS. So when is the 2021 “tax day”? April 15, 2021.
The IRS has extended the deadline for filing and paying business returns normally due on March 15th and April 15th to victims of the Texas winter storms until June 15th, 2021.
So when do you have to pay your taxes? If you’re mailing your return, the IRS considers it “on time” if it’s properly addressed, has enough postage, and arrives in the mail before the end of business on the filing deadline. Otherwise, you have until midnight on your tax filing deadline day to e-file your return.
So when are the tax extensions for 2021 due? You have until the due date of your taxes to file for an extension. Individuals can still file for a tax extension on April 15 if they want to. The same is true for businesses: S corporations and partnerships have until March 15 to file for an extension, while C corporations have until April 15 to file.
Here are the two important deadline details:

The due date for S corporation and partnership tax returns: The deadline to file your S corporation tax return (Form 1120-S) or partnership tax return (Form 1065) is March 15th, 2021.

The ExtensionTax.com team wishes all a very Happy 4th of July! The IRS issued Notice 2020-134 on June 29, 2020, the automatically extended filing and payment deadline of July 15, 2020, will not be postponed, any taxpayers looking for further relief including those affected by COVID-19, who cannot pay in full should contact IRS for help. The IRS also encourages the affected taxpayers to pay what they can and consider a variety of payment options available for the remaining balance.
“The IRS understands that those affected by the coronavirus may not be able to pay their balances in full by July 15, but we have many payment options to help taxpayers,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “These easy-to-use payment options are available on IRS.gov, and most can be done automatically without reaching out to an IRS representative.”
Taxpayers unable to meet the July 15 due date can request an extension to file until October 15. However, this is not an extension of time to pay. Taxpayers must estimate their tax liability on the extension-form and pay as much as they can by July 15 to avoid possible penalties and interest.
