IRS Extends Tax<br />
Deadline<br />
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced<br />
that tax day will be delayed from<br />
<strong>April</strong> 15 to July 15. He made the announcement<br />
on Twitter, days after announcing a deferral<br />
on tax payments but not on filing day.<br />
“All taxpayers and businesses will have this<br />
additional time to file and make payments without<br />
interest or penalties,” Mnuchin tweeted.<br />
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell<br />
had also announced that, as part of the House<br />
GOP plan for a next round of economic stimulus,<br />
he wanted to delay the tax deadline.<br />
McConnell’s bill also included provisions to<br />
allow individuals making payments to postpone<br />
them even further, until October 15.<br />
On March 10, Democratic lawmakers on<br />
the Ways and Means Committee sent a letter<br />
to the IRS to find out more about any changes<br />
for the filing season. “We request your continued<br />
evaluation of whether there is any<br />
need to extend the tax filing season beyond<br />
the <strong>April</strong> 15 deadline,” they wrote at the time.<br />
As recently as Tuesday, the White House<br />
had detailed how taxpayers would be able<br />
to defer tax payments but said that tax day<br />
itself would stay the same. “All you have to do<br />
is file your taxes; you’ll automatically not get<br />
charged interest in penalties,” Mnuchin said<br />
during that coronavirus briefing.<br />
Taxpayers may be able to get a further extension<br />
with a form 4868, which in normal<br />
years gives taxpayers until October 15 to file<br />
a return. It was not immediately clear how<br />
the delay in tax day would change the extension<br />
process.<br />
Tax refunds<br />
What remains unchanged after Friday’s<br />
announcement is that taxpayers who expect<br />
a refund can file right now and get their payments<br />
once the return is processed.<br />
In a follow-up tweet, the Treasury Secretary<br />
encouraged taxpayers to do just that.<br />
