Tax Simplification: New Deadlines and Electronic Filing Protections.

This law simplifies tax administration for individuals and small businesses by adjusting key deadlines and modernizing filing rules. It extends the due dates for estimated tax payments and ensures that the date you electronically send a document or payment to the IRS is considered the official filing date, reducing the risk of late penalties.
Key points
Estimated tax payment deadlines for individuals are shifted: the second installment moves from June 15 to July 15, and the third moves from September 15 to October 15.
The 'mailbox rule' is extended to electronic submissions, meaning the date you click 'send' is the official filing or payment date, regardless of IRS processing time.
Simplifies rules for S corporations, granting the IRS authority to accept late elections or revocations if there was reasonable cause for the delay.
