IRS Quietly Fixes Their Error

In my post earlier today I quoted from IRS Notice 2021-83 issued on April 9th, which stated that the FBAR filing requirement deadline is still April 15, 2021, and that the Notice made no reference to the automatic extension. However, later that day the IRS quietly updated it to indicate that the automatic extension was still available. There was no acknowledgment that they made an error, they just tried to sneak it in.

The bottom line is Taxpayers still have until October 15^th to file their FBAR.
