What the Announcement Left Out!

Here is what is NOT extended and still due on the normal date:

If your tax is withheld via your W-2 paycheck and you do not make any additional tax payments throughout the year, this will not affect you.  However, if you do make quarterly estimated tax payments, we will still need all of your information early so that we don’t miss this deadline.

All other federal returns are still due on their regular due date.

Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have moved their due dates for individual and business tax returns to June 15, 2021 due to the winter storm.
