I wish I could give Dusty's comment more than 1 thumbs up.  I've said this for years even before the last two COVID extensions.  I think a lot of the public are expecting another general extension like the last two years.  I'm bracing for the next few weeks when about 30% of my clients finally realize April 18 is the deadline this year.  And for full disclosure, I'm a CPA in NC who has dealt with these delays as well. While annoying, at least I could prepare returns and efile federal to start those refunds for clients and efile NC once that opened.
