Have you heard of an extension to file to 2016 returns past 4-15-20. My research which has a date of 4-1-20 says no extension on statute of limitations exists as of that date. Please let me know.

Thanks,

John Skouberdis

I was able to find the following FAQ on the IRS web site: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-and-payment-deadlines-questions-and-answers

Q22. I want to file a claim for a refund for 2016, which must be filed by April 15, 2020 to be timely. Does this relief give me more time to claim my 2016 refund?

A22. No, the relief provided for filing Federal income tax returns applies only to Federal income tax returns for the 2019 taxable year. The Notice does not extend relief to any filings or payments for taxable year 2016.
