There has been quite a bit of confusion over the government allowing taxpayers to "pay" their taxes by July 15th. At that time the "filing" deadline was still April 15th.
This morning it was announced that due to confusion and to help taxpayer, and practitioners, the file by date was moved from April 15th to July 15th to match the pay by date.
And the pay by date means that you file your taxes now and you have until July 15th to pay the bill without incurring penalties or interest.
The IRS does not have this on their website yet but this was just announced less than 4 hours ago. Takes them some time.
