Massachusetts has agreed to delay the state personal income tax filing and payment deadline to July 15. This is a three month extension from the usual April 15 deadline. The extension was announced by Governor Charlie Baker and the Legislature. The change will bring Massachusetts in line with the federal government’s decision to push the deadline back for reasons related to the recent coronavirus outbreak.
The extension was put in place to help give people flexibility as they navigate through these uncertain times. Members of the public are encouraged to make health and personal safety a top priority and to take the extra time to file their taxes if needed.
