3-21-20 Client Alert - Coronavirus Tax Relief UPDATE - Tax Payment Caps Removed

WOODS OVIATT GILMAN LLP CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) CLIENT ALERT

Coronavirus Tax Relief UPDATE - Tax Payment Caps Removed

In an early tweet on March 20th, Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin had announced that the Treasury and the IRS decided to postpone the April 15 deadline for filing Federal income tax returns and making Federal income tax payments to July 15, 2020. Later in the day, the IRS formally issued Notice 2020-18 which restated and expanded upon the prior relief provided in Notice 2020-17. Prior Notice 2020-17 had postponed the deadline solely for April 15 Federal income tax payments and contained caps on the amount of tax payments that could be postponed.

New Notice 2020-18 automatically extends the due date for filing Federal income tax returns and making Federal income tax payments from April 15 to July 15. In addition, it removes the cap on the amount of tax payments that can be postponed. The earlier notice set a $1 million cap on individual income tax payments that could be postponed and a $10 million cap on tax payments for corporate taxpayers.
