The COVID-19 virus has had a global impact, affecting all aspects of our lives. Telework has increased dramatically, as there has been a federal and local initiative to adopt social distancing as the new normal. As part of a federal emergency plan, President Trump and the Treasury of State has agreed to extend the tax deadline of July 15th.
Who Does it Affect?
As of March 21, 2020, this extension applies to all taxpayers: federal and state taxpayers. Additionally, this extension allows taxpayers who owe money to defer their payments.
You now have until July 15th to file your federal and state taxes.
