Filing Deadline for Individual Taxpayers Extended

The filing deadline for individual income tax returns has been extended from April 15 to May 17, 2021 for the 2020 tax year. The state of West Virginia has also extended the filing deadline to May 17, 2021. It is important to note that this extension applies to filing and payment of 2020 tax due, but does not extend the due date for quarterly estimated tax payments due April 15, 2021 (first quarter 2021). In 2020 the filing deadline extension did extend the deadline for first quarter estimated tax payments, but that will not be the case for 2021.
