[PR] Tax Filing Deadline One Week Away; 2019 Tax Returns and Payments Due July 15

Wednesday, July 8, 2020

(Washington, DC) – The District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) reminds taxpayers that the deadline is one week away to file and pay their 2019 District of Columbia individual and fiduciary income tax returns (D-40, D-41, and D-40B), partnership tax return (D-65), and franchise tax returns (D-20, D-30). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline for filings and payments was postponed from April 15 to July 15. No late charges will apply to filings and payments that are made on or before July 15, 2020. 

For those who have yet to file, OTR recommends filing electronically. E-filing is faster, minimizes errors, and provides an electronic filing acknowledgement. 

Payments
OTR’s tax portal, MyTax.DC.gov, provides the convenience of making online payments and payment arrangements, 24/7.

• Payment Options

To remit a payment, taxpayers should log in to their MyTax.DC.gov account, which allows them to pay directly from their bank account for free or pay with their credit/debit card for a fee.

• Online Payment Agreement

District taxpayers with an outstanding liability can apply for an online payment agreement by logging in to their MyTax.DC.gov account. 

Additional Resources
OTR’s Taxpayer Advocate Elena Fowlkes and Assistant General Counsel Elissa Borges will host a live Instagram discussion at 2 pm Friday, July 10 to answer any District tax related questions that taxpayers may have. The discussion will be held on OTR’s Instagram page, @MyTaxDC.
