And believe me some people will wait till the last minute on 4/19!

[TAXNJ]

THAT's

And believe me some people will wait till the last minute on 4/19!

That's why we work closely with clients and have extensions ready for those that need them a week before since we close the office the week before 4-15.

I don't think the second part is what you meant. E-file for TY2015 individual returns is expected to continue through 2018, except for the annual MeF shutdown in late November and other brief maintenance outages.

Think trying to convey that an extra 2-3 days due date this year to file returns and extensions.

You have until the 26th, depending on your software. And, then entity e-filing opens up again 9 January 2016. If their deadline is in between those two dates, paper.
