IR-2020-109: IRS reminder: June 15 tax deadline postponed to July 15 for taxpayers who live and work abroad

The IRS has issued Reminder IR-2020-109 (June 2) that applies to any taxpayers who live and work abroad.  The June 15^th US federal tax deadline has been extended until July 15^th for all taxpayers, including Americans and nonresident aliens with US filing and payment requirements who live and work outside of the US. The US normally follows the standard federal tax deadline of April 15^th, but due to Coronavirus, the IRS has provided an extension of time to file and pay as a form of tax relief. If you need additional time to file surpassing July 15^th, you can file an extension to October 15^th by completing one of the following: 

• File form 4868 through GMT or by using Free File link on IRS.gov 
• Submit an electronic payment using one of the following payment options:

• Direct Pay
• Electronic Federal Tax Payment System
• Debit, credit card or digital wallet options

Make sure to selected Form 4868 or extension as the payment type. Doing this will automatically extend your filing date to October 15^th.

If you owe, taxes are due by July 15th
