The cities of Battle Creek, Springfield, and Albion are extending the deadline to file local income taxes. The new deadline is Friday, July 31. This is in line with the governor’s latest Executive Order, which extends state income tax and city income tax filing and payment deadlines, which match the federal income tax deadline extension. The new deadlines are to assist and benefit taxpayers during the COVID-19 virus situation. For the cities in Calhoun County, this is an extension from the original, April 30 deadline. You do not need to file any additional forms to qualify for the automatic deadline extension. All three city hall buildings are closed to the public, with limited staffing. Battle Creek and Springfield have online filing options available. The City of Albion does not.
