 TITLE: 2021 Tax Deadlines You Need to Know CONTENT: October 15, 2021\n----------------\n### Last Day to File Your 2020 Tax Return With an Extension\nAs the world continues its fight against a global pandemic, many people are navigating job loss, health concerns, and financial disruptions. If you're unable to file your tax return by April 15, take heart in knowing that you can file an extension and push the due date back by six months. An extension would give you until October 15 to complete all your paperwork and submit it to the IRS.\nThe one caveat, however, is that those who owe money to the IRS will still have to pay it by April 15. While unpaid taxes do not show up on your credit report, you may encounter hefty fees for ignoring the obligation. Fortunately, the IRS offers payment plans and short-term extensions to eligible taxpayers. END
