Connecticut DRS Extends April 15, 2020 Filing and Payment Deadlines for Gift Tax Returns

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services announced on April 2, 2020 that it is extending the filing and payment deadline for gift tax return until July 15, 2020.  Without the extension, returns reporting gifts made during 2019 would otherwise be due on April 15, 2020.  The Department noted in its announcement that the extension does not apply to the estate tax.
