Massachusetts Follows IRS to Extend Due Date of Individual Tax Filings to May 17th

 

Individual Income Tax Returns and Payments Now Due May 17, 2021

The deadline has been extended for both filing individual income tax returns and making payments from April 15, 2021 to May 17, 2021.  What you need to know: The income tax filing and payment deadline has been moved to May 17, 2021 for individuals only. The date change does not affect taxpayers other than individuals filing personal income tax returns and making payments. The extension date of October 15 for personal income tax filing is unchanged. Estimated payments due April 15 are not impacted by the date change and remain due on April 15. Taxpayers who have already filed their personal income tax returns, but have not made the associated payment, will have until May 17 to make the payment.
