The deadline to file your taxes is now May 17.
The IRS announced that it is extending the deadline, so individual income tax returns are now due May 17. That is 31 days later than the original deadline. No additional paperwork is needed to take advantage of this extension. Keep in mind that this extension applies to individual 1040 tax returns, not business tax filing deadlines or quarterly estimated tax deadlines.
