Tax Day 2021 is May 17. Here’s what you need to know before the deadline to file your taxes
Updated May 12, 2021;
The IRS extended the tax season deadline from Thursday, April 15 to Monday, May 17 this year. The postponement occurred due to the backlog of millions of unprocessed tax returns.
The announcement was made in March. Back then, the IRS stated there was an estimated 24 million unprocessed returns, some dated back to 2019.
“This continues to be a tough time for many people, and the IRS wants to continue to do everything possible to help taxpayers navigate the unusual circumstances related to the pandemic, while also working on important tax administration responsibilities,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig in a statement.
