Tax Deadline Extended
- The IRS has postponed the tax filing and payment due dates until July 15th, and Minnesota will also follow these guidelines. Note that this also applies to federal estimated tax payments, however, this does NOT apply to Minnesota estimated tax payments, so the April 15th deadline will still apply for MN 2020 Q1 estimates.
