Fall 2020 Tax Calendar

This calendar notes important tax deadlines for the fourth quarter of 2020:

October 15

Personal federal income tax returns for 2019 that received an automatic extension must be filed today and any tax, interest, and penalties due must be paid.

• The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Report 114, “Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts” (FBAR), must be filed by today, if not filed already, for offshore bank account reporting. (This report received an automatic extension to today if not filed by the original due date of July 15.)
• If an extension was obtained, calendar-year C corporations should file their 2019 Form 1120 by this date.
