Usually, the deadline for taxes in the United States is April 15. However, due to the Coronavirus outbreak across the nation, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced a 90-day extension. This decision came after health officials from the CDC recommended that people stay inside and non-essential businesses began to close due to the spread of the virus. It is important to know that this extension comes with no penalties and is interest-free. This can provide Americans with a sense of relief during these trying times.
While the extension is available to all people, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin emphasized that those can get their taxes filed before April 15 should still continue to do so. The deferment covers all taxpayers who owe $1 million or less as well as corporations that owe up to $10 million. Speaking on the deferment, Mnuchin stated, “We encourage those Americans who can file their taxes to continue to file their taxes on April 15, because for many Americans, you will get tax refunds.”
