As reported cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to grow, we here at Rutherford, MacDonald & Olson, PC are implementing precautions intended to protect the health and safety of our employees, their families, our clients and our community

We are hoping not to close our office. However, we are suspending all in-person appointments at this time and asking clients to refrain from dropping in. RMO is also temporarily suspending all travel and work at client sites.

We have several ways to conduct business during this time:

• Secure Link to send/receive documents
• Fax
• Email and Mail
• Skype and FaceTime

​We will plan to mail you any documents you would normally pick up.  It is possible to sign your E-Filing paperwork electronically. 

If drop off is necessary due to time constraints, we will have a drop off box outside of our office.

The IRS Deadline for ALL 4/15/2020 Payments are Extended to 7/15/2020:

Federal Income tax payment deadlines for individual returns, with a due date of April 15, 2020, are being automatically extended until July 15, 2020, for up to $1 million of their 2019 tax due. This payment relief applies to all individual returns, Trusts and Estates.  IRS will automatically provide this relief to taxpayers. Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the IRS to qualify for this relief.  RMO, PC will extend all returns due by 4/15/2020, and none will need payments to extend.

This Federal relief also extends Q1 2020 estimated tax payments that are due on April 15, 2020 to 7/15/2020.  Q2 due 6/15/2020 is uncertain at this time, but we have plenty of time to receive clarification for this.

Montana Dept. of Revenue has not declared their payment extension policy as of yet, but we expect MTDOR to follow the Federal due dates, but we will monitor and update you accordingly.

We are actively monitoring the guidance of the World Health Organization, CDC and state and local health authorities related to this situation, and are adjusting our policies accordingly.

Thank you
