IRS Notice 2020-23 provides that any 45-day or 180-day deadline that occurs between April 1 and July 15, is automatically extended to July 15, 2020.
Therefore, if an Exchanger’s 45-day identification period or 180-day exchange period falls between April 1, 2020 and July 15,2020, the Exchanger will have until July 15 to complete these actions.
The extensions are automatic, but not mandatory, and allow the Exchanger to conclude the exchange based on the original deadlines.
