Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IRS postponed the original tax filing deadline from April 15th to July 15th. July 15th is also the deadline for making first and second quarter estimated payments for 2020. You also have until the 15th to contribute to your IRA or health savings accounts for the 2019 tax year.

This is the is the last weekend before the deadline to finish gathering documents and preparing your taxes to meet the deadline. If you’re unable to meet the deadline, you can file for an extension to push your tax date to October 15th. That form, along with any IRS documents and information you may need, can be found at IRS.gov.
