INTERNAL REVENUE TAX DEADLINE EXTENDED

The Internal Revenue Service says the traditional tax filing deadline is being extended from April 15th May 17th, according to the House Ways and Means Committee. The extension comes after an intense year for the chronically underfunded IRS. The pandemic hit in the middle of last year’s tax filing season, setting the agency back in terms of processing.   Additionally, the extension gives the IRS time to issue guidance on recent tax law changes.
