A brief story in today’s Wall Street Journal (Pay$ Link) states that Secretary of the Treasury Mnuchin may consider extending the July 15th tax deadline (which was, of course, originally April 15th) again. Quoting the Journal,
Asked in an interview at a virtual Bloomberg event if he was considering another delay to Sept. 15, Mr. Mnuchin said it is possible.
“As of now we’re not intending on doing that, but it is something we may consider,” he said.
My reaction is what I titled this article: No, please No. I and every other tax professional would like this Tax Season to end.
The article also notes that another stimulus program is now being considered, but Republicans would want it to be very targeted. Given that Democrats want everything under the sun, it will be quite interesting to see what (if anything) comes out of Congress this Summer.
