As part of the Relief for Taxpayers Affected by Coronavirus Pandemic (Notice 2020-18) the IRS has created a frequently asked questions page related to the extended filing and payment deadlines. The questions cover eligibility for the extended filing and payment dates, filing and paying balance due amounts and second estimated payment, contributions to IRAs, HSAs and MSAs and other questions concerning final date to claim a refund on a 2016 original return and the underpayment penalty for 2019 returns.

Here some items to note:

  • Contributions to an IRA for 2019
    Taxpayer has until July 15, 2020 to make a 2019 IRA contribution (Question 17).
