IR-2021-59, March 17, 2021
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced today that the federal income tax filing due date for individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021. The IRS will be providing formal guidance in the coming days.
"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. "Even with the new deadline, we urge taxpayers to consider filing as soon as possible, especially those who are owed refunds. Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get refunds, and it can help some taxpayers more quickly receive any remaining stimulus payments they may be entitled to."
Individual taxpayers can also postpone federal income tax payments for the 2020 tax year due on April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed. This postponement applies to individual taxpayers, including individuals who pay self-employment tax. Penalties, interest and additions to tax will begin to accrue on any remaining unpaid balances as of May 17, 2021. Individual taxpayers will automatically avoid interest and penalties on the taxes paid by May 17.
Individual taxpayers do not need to file any forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief. Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the May 17 deadline can request a filing extension until Oct. 15 by filing Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or using the Free File link on IRS.gov. Filing Form 4868 gives taxpayers until October 15 to file their 2020 tax return but does not grant an extension of time to pay taxes due. Taxpayers should pay their federal income tax due by May 17, 2021, to avoid interest and penalties.
The IRS urges taxpayers who are due a refund to file as soon as possible. Most tax refunds associated with e-filed returns are issued within 21 days.
This relief does not apply to estimated tax payments that are due on April 15, 2021. These payments are still due on April 15. Taxes must be paid as taxpayers earn or receive income during the year, either through withholding or estimated tax payments. In general, estimated tax payments are made quarterly to the IRS by people whose income isn't subject to income tax withholding, including self-employment income, interest, dividends, alimony or rental income. Most taxpayers automatically have their taxes withheld from their paychecks and submitted to the IRS by their employer.
State tax returns
The federal tax filing deadline postponement to May 17, 2021, only applies to individual federal income returns and tax (including tax on self-employment income) payments otherwise due April 15, 2021, not state tax payments or deposits or payments of any other type of federal tax. Taxpayers also will need to file income tax returns in 42 states plus the District of Columbia. State filing and payment deadlines vary and are not always the same as the federal filing deadline. The IRS urges taxpayers to check with their state tax agencies for those details.
Winter storm disaster relief for Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas
Earlier this year, following the disaster declarations issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the IRS announced relief for victims of the February winter storms in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. These states have until June 15, 2021, to file various individual and business tax returns and make tax payments. This extension to May 17 does not affect the June deadline.

Businesses across Louisville are now able to register their employees for COVID-19 vaccinations at the LouVax mass vaccination site operated by the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW).
The decision to open up fully to 1C personnel follows Governor Andy Beshear’s announcement last Friday that the state would transition to include individuals ages 16-59 with qualifying medical conditions and essential employees.
Employers, business owners, human resource reps, lead supervisors and managers can make registration easier for employees by submitting a roster of team members through the health department’s Essential Workers Company Signup Form. https://louisvilleky.wufoo.com/forms/z1ym91d90scddjj/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery Once the form is received, a member of LMPHW’s LouVax team will then reach out to businesses to gather any additional information and get employees scheduled for appointments.
Employees that live in neighboring counties in Kentucky and Indiana but work in Louisville are eligible to get their vaccination through their employer at LouVax.
Employers who have questions or need assistance with the sign up process can call the COVID-19 Helpline at 502-912-8598.

LOUSVILLE (March 25, 2021) – Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer today announced that the Louisville Metro Revenue Commission (LMRC) will extend the 2020 annual occupational license tax filing and payment deadline from April 15, 2021 to May 17, 2021.
The extension is for all taxpayers that file Forms OL-3, OL-3EZ, OL-3A, OL-3S, OL-3EXT and I-2. All other LMRC deadlines will remain in place.
The commission has approximately 102,000 active occupational license tax accounts, and roughly 60,000 of those accounts represent local individuals that file once a year. The extension follows the federal government’s decision to allow individual taxpayers to defer filing and payments of federal income tax from April 15, 2021, until May 17, 2021.
Starting April 5, 2021, the LMRC will provide in-person customer service by appointment Monday – Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Please refer to www.metrorevenue.org for more detailed information on the extended deadline or hours of operation. Anyone with questions can contact LMRC staff at (502) 574-4860 or taxhelp@metrorevenue.org.
Cat of the Week:
Nickel has been in the shelter for 33 days, patiently waiting to be the next lucky cat to find a forever home. The approximately 4-year-old, orange Tabby is friendly, laidback and enjoys attention. Nickel really needs a home while he continues treatment for heartworms because the shelter can be a stressful place. He will require regular checkups with a veterinarian. Nickel’s adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter, thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. He’s already neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. Nickel weighs 7 lbs. He can be tested with dogs, other cats or children upon request. To meet or adopt Nickel, visit Animal House Adoption Center, located at 3516 Newburg Road from 12-6pm daily. For more info about Nickel, call 502-47-PETS.
Dog of the Week:
Long Stay Champion Sous Chef has spent 102 days in the shelter including Christmas and every holiday since then. It’s not Sous Chef’s fault she’s a Pit Bull, the most overbred dog in our city and makes up the majority of shelter dogs. Sous Chef would be an excellent companion for the right family. The two-year-old Pit Bull is an excellent taste tester and a fun buddy who loves to play fetch. Food is tasty but toys are better, she loves getting new toys. Sous Chef’s adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. Her adoption includes a VIP package which includes: FREE wellness checks and vaccinations for three years, three-year Canine license, leash, harness, collar and a crate. Sous Chef weighs 55lbs. She can be tested with children or other dogs by request, but needs a cat-free home. Potential adopters can foster-to-adopt Sous Chef. For more info, email animalservicesadoption@louisvilleky.gov. To meet or adopt Sous Chef, visit Animal House Adoption Center (3516 Newburg Road), open 12-6pm daily. Walk-ins welcome!
