ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2021 / As of March 17, 2021, the IRS has officially announced and confirmed the extension of the April 15, 2021 deadline for individual taxpayers. The deadline has been pushed back until May 17, 2021. This gives individual taxpayers an additional month to gather the information needed to complete their tax return and make their tax payment if one is owed.
The purpose of this deadline extension is to provide some additional relief for taxpayers, as many Americans have struggled financially throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The IRS itself has faced many challenges throughout the pandemic. They are currently battling a backlog of filings while handling the distribution of stimulus checks to individuals. This extension comes as a welcome relief to many individuals, tax professionals, and the IRS itself.
For many individuals and tax professionals filing on behalf of their clients, an additional month may be helpful but not enough time for them to complete the tax returns. In this case, ExpressExtension is here to assist filers that need some additional time.
There is a common misconception that when the IRS extends a deadline, filers can no longer file an extension. This is not true. Taxpayers have the option to file an extension for their personal income tax returns using Form 4868. Upon approval, they will then have until October 15, 2021 to complete their tax return. Individuals must note that this additional time applies only to the Form 1040 itself, the tax payment, if any, should be submitted by May 17, 2021.
Filing a 1040 extension with ExpressExtension has been more simpler! Taxpayers can e-file 4868 in minutes to request their extension, make a tax payment to the IRS, and then receive instant IRS updates on the filing status until the form is approved. In addition, ExpressExtension allows users to correct and retransmit any forms that may be rejected by the IRS at no additional cost.
With a user-friendly filing process and specialized features for tax professionals, ExpressExtension.com offers a secure and accurate application that fits the needs of all filers.
In response to the deadline extension, Agie Sundaram, the CEO and Co-founder of SPAN Enterprises, the parent company of ExpressExtension states, "This extension from the IRS comes as a relief for many Americans facing these difficult times." He continues to add, "It is a common bit of misinformation that individuals can not file an extension for additional time past May17, however, this is still a great option for those that need more time. ExpressExtension is here to help filers complete their extensions quickly, efficiently and affordably."
