INDIANAPOLIS — The Internal Revenue Service is reminding an estimated 188,400 Indiana residents who asked for an extension to file their 2020 tax return that they have until Oct. 15, 2021, to file and avoid the penalty for filing late.
The IRS urges everyone to file electronically at irs.gov/filing/e-file-options in order to avoid delays and speed the processing of their return.
Oct. 15 is the deadline for just about everyone, the IRS noted in a news release. Only members of the military and others serving in a combat zone have more time. They normally have 180 days after they leave the combat zone to file and pay any taxes due.
