Yes, the tax deadline for the IRS (and federal estimated payments for the first two quarters) is July 15th. However, not all states conformed to this–especially for estimated payments. The following states all have first quarter estimated payments for individuals that are due tomorrow, April 15th:
- Arkansas
- District of Columbia
- Hawaii (due April 20th)
- Illinois
- Iowa (due April 30th)
- Kentucky
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- North Carolina
- Oregon
So if you need to make estimated payments for 2020 for one of these states, do so. If you are mailing your payment, use certified mail (but not return receipt requested–there’s a possiblity no one is there to pick up the mail).
