For those last-minute tax filers who were rushing to get their returns done, there’s good news: you’ve been given a one-month reprieve.
Tax Day 2021 has been pushed back to May 17 from April 15 without penalties and interest, giving Americans more time to file their federal returns as the IRS implements sweeping tax code changes from the latest COVID-19 relief package.
But there are caveats. The IRS isn’t extending the deadline for first quarter estimated tax payments. And not all states have pushed back their deadlines.

You have an extra month to file your 2020 federal income tax returns, but taxpayers in some states have another deadline to mind: the deadline to file state income taxes.
Most states have followed the lead of the IRS, extending the deadline to file state income taxes to May 17 from April 15. But there are some exceptions (you can find details via a list compiled by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants). Keep in mind that in most cases, extensions don’t apply to estimated tax payments, which are still due April 15.
