Montana, federal tax filing deadlines extended

Staff and wire report

Gov. Steve Bullock extended Friday the payment and filing deadlines for 2019 individual income taxpayers to July 15 in accordance with the new federal filing deadline.

The U.S. Treasury Department announced Friday it is extending the federal filing deadline to July 15.

Extending the state filing deadline is in line with an announcement from the IRS to extend its deadlines for federal income tax filing and payments to July 15.

The Montana Department of Revenue will be lenient in waiving penalties and interest associated with late tax payments and the department will work with taxpayers on an individual basis.

  The deadline for those making estimated tax payments for the first quarter of 2020 has also been extended to July 15. The due date for the second quarter remains July 15 at this time.
