The IRS extended the due date of the 2020 Form 1040 and related tax payments from April 15 to May 17. The announcement does not extend the due date for gift tax returns due 4/15.  To extend we can file Form 8892 but that must be paper filed.  Normally a timely e-filed 4/15 individual extension extends the gift return but a 5/17 extension this year will not it appears.  Will an individual extension e-filed by 4/15 still work to extend a gift return, thereby avoiding having to snail mail a Form 8892 ?
