Taxpayers do not need to file for an extension if they submit
their tax filings by July 15, 2020, and no interest or penalties,
regardless of amount owed, will be applied.
The IRS still urged taxpayers to file as soon as possible,
especially those who are due a refund and noted that most refunds
are still being issued within 21 days of filing.
Tax filing deadlines are routinely extended when an emergency
declaration under the Stafford Act has been issued.
The IRS also has a special coronavirus information page with
additional information about deadlines and other IRS programs. It
can be found here: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus
