Announcements
The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced that the federal income tax filing due date is automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17th, 2021.
The City of Grand Rapids will be following the IRS based on Sec 141.664 Sec 64. The Income Tax Administrator will be moving the date due from April 30th to June 1st.
Taxpayers can defer income tax payments due on April 30th, 2021, to June 1st , 2021, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed. This means we will give all Grand Rapids taxpayers until June 1st to file. This deferment applies to all taxpayers, including individuals, trusts and estates, corporations, and other non-corporate tax filers as well as those who pay self-employment tax. This deferment does not apply to any withholding taxes.
Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call us to qualify for this automatic tax filing and payment relief. Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the June 1st deadline, can request a filing extension by filing our extension form.
There will not be any penalty or interest on tax due before June 1st unless it was for failure to make estimated payments. At this time estimated payment due dates have not been changed or moved but we will update this as we get information from the IRS. If you have questions regarding this or your returns please email grincometax@grcity.us or call 616-456-3415 option 0.
We will be available for phone calls Monday - Friday 8 AM - 5 PM and Wednesdays until 7pm. We have extended hours for filing in office on Saturday March 27th, April 10th, April 17th, and April 24th from 8am to 2pm. If you have your return done and are able, consider uploading it to us on our website for faster processing.
