It is that time of year again for taxpayers to begin organizing their financial and tax information to collaborate with their tax advisers in light of the approaching tax filing season. Taxpayers should be aware of the new due dates to ensure information is provided timely so that their tax returns are filed on time or appropriate extension requests granted.

The Highway Funding Extension bill H.R. 3236, passed by Congress and signed into law on July 31, 2015,  modifies tax return due dates for a number of common return types beginning with tax years after December 31, 2015. The main purpose of these changes is to create a more succinct filing timeline to assist taxpayers with multi-tiered tax structures, allowing them to file their returns in a more timely fashion.
