Excerpt from recently released article by thetaxadviser.com (Full article, “Next Filing Season Will Be Better: Due Dates Have a New Logical Order)
As practitioners get ready for the 2017 filing season, there is hope that next year will be better. That is because the 2017 filing season will involve new due dates, a result of years of advocacy by the profession. In one of the most significant pieces of tax legislation enacted in 2015, Congress included the AICPA-supported tax return due dates legislation as a revenue provision in the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015,1 which extended the Highway Trust Fund for three months in the summer and fall of 2015. On July 31, 2015, President Barack Obama signed that legislation into law, making the new tax return due dates generally effective for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2015 (applicable to 2016 tax returns and the 2017 filing season).
