October 7, 2021
Although October 15 is the filing deadline for most people who requested an extension of time to file their 2020 tax return, some people may have more time, including:
Members of the military and others serving in a combat zone typically have 180 days after they leave the combat zone to file returns and pay any taxes due.
Those in federally declared disaster areas who already had valid extensions have the following extended deadlines to file returns. Since tax payments related to these 2020 returns were due on May 17, 2021, they are not eligible for this relief.
