WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says the Trump administration has decided to push the income tax filing date to July 15 from April 15.
Mnuchin announced the decision in a tweet Friday saying that at President Donald Trump’s direction “we are moving Tax Day from April 15 to July 15. All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.”
The administration had announced earlier in the week that it would delay the payments, a move that Mnuchin said would leave $300 billion in the economy at a critical time.
Uncle Sam has got one hell of a credit card…
…China, if you’re listening, please be nice!
Why wouldn’t they coordinate this with the states before they announced it? Don’t most people prepare both returns at the same time? All this is going to do is cause more confusion. Even in the rare instances when they try to do something helpful they still fuck it up.
This is personally good for me. I am stuck in my apartment in one state and my tax information is in my house in another. I was going to ask for an extension but I don’t have to now.
An excellent question which I hope will be answered soon by someone genuinely knowledgeable in these matters.
