2021 tax extension filers don’t need to wait until October 17

The IRS reminds the estimated 19 million taxpayers who requested an extension to file their 2021 tax return that they don’t have to wait until mid-October to do so. If a taxpayer has all the necessary information to file an accurate return, they can file electronically at any time before the October deadline and avoid a last-minute rush to file.

In addition to avoiding the rush, the IRS has tips on:

  • Filing electronically
  • Getting help filing – including Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
  • Payment options
  • Quickly getting answers to tax questions
