If not, why? It's approaching fast.

[PrinceHakeem]

2. It's stressful times. I need another july deadline.

[PrinceHakeem]

5. Last yr they announced an extension mid to late march.

[PrinceHakeem]

10. I'm not alone. Apparently millions need to amend the ones they already filed.

A lot of people want it extended. Including members of congress.

[PrinceHakeem]

4. Also Trump's guy is still IRS commish. Why aren't other ppl pissed about that?

[greenjar_01]

8. Because it's not really important?

[PrinceHakeem]

9. The irs is suppose to distribute the stimulus, and u don't think its important to do that first

and as quickly as possible?

[greenjar_01]

13. Oh, the reach

To be fair, I love a one issue poster, but this is really comical!

[elleng]

6. Get an extension.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. But then there's a looming Oct 15 deadline. Oooh, the stress! nt

[dawg day]

24. You can get an extension till August

Just by filing a form. I used to do it every year. (Big procrastination here.)

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

11. Not Biden, but the drumbeats are getting louder to extend again, IRS still doing last years

[PrinceHakeem]

15. Exactly. Hopefully they come to their senses. I think Rettig is sabotaging

Things.

[honest.abe]

14. No particular reason to extend the deadline this year.. IMO.

The standard deduction makes it quite simple for most folks. With free tax USA you can get it done in a few minutes if you don’t itemize.

[Iggo]

16. Has he said anything about people who stand in water?

[Tribetime]

36. They still haven't processed my return from last year which was sent in by July certified mail

So Im not sure I can ..I will file an extension, and I still haven't received one of my 1099s cause of the mail being f up

17. Why is it an issue? We have to file by April 15.

Can’t see any reason to push it back. It someone has issues file for an extension.

But I think we all have our relevant tax documents from last year.

19. An extension is all the OP needs to do

In their effort to start multiple threads on this topic on a tax extension, one could have been filed already. Unless you owe the government money there is no penalty. If you owe you can make an estimated payment and reduce or eliminate any interest charges.

[GulfCoast66]

18. And I find it curious, I guess you'd say, that you joined DU 5 days ago.

And your latest is an implied criticism of the president. With no specifics of why he should push back the date.

Is there a reason this year the date should be pushed back?

[PrinceHakeem]

22. I clearly stated reasons why. You changed tax law. You passed a new stimulus and many ppl just need

extra time. Plus Trump's irs commissioner is still employed. Why?

[Nevilledog]

39. "You"?

[dalton99a]

20. It's extended to June 15 for Texas and Oklahoma only

The extension is based on his disaster declaration for those two states

[pfitz59]

21. Did mine

Lost over $20K in income over last year. (And I made out better than most)

[ecstatic]

25. Lol. My deadline is 10/15, although I even missed that last year

Fingers crossed.

[brooklynite]

26. I can promise you our taxes are 20 times more complex than yours...and will be filed on time...

...without the aid of an accountant.

No reason you can’t get yours done by April 15.

[PrinceHakeem]

27. Thats very arrogant of you. I have my reasons, as do others.

[brooklynite]

28. No more presumptuous than opining that Its obvious that tax deadlines should be extended...

...without providing any reasons as to why.

[PrinceHakeem]

29. Again, very arrogant of you. Why do members of congress want it extended?

31. Great news! You can file for an extension.

[PrinceHakeem]

32. I want an extension to pay like last yr

[PrinceHakeem]

33. Congress is calling for an extension.

[sarcasmo]

38. Many people are saying, your taxes are the best taxes.

[USALiberal]

41. We get it, you are rich! Nt

[Jose Garcia]

30. Not sure why a statement is necessary. Most people are aware of the deadline.

[ramblin_dave]

34. JUST IN: IRS pushes back tax filing deadline for all taxpayers from April 15 to May 15.

35. Good news. 1 month extension just announced

You asked for it and you got it!

https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/17/politics/irs-filing-deadline-may-15/index.html
"The Internal Revenue Service plans to delay this year's tax filing deadline by roughly a month, to mid-May, according to an official familiar with the plans.

The official said the decision was made in order to allow filers more time to navigate tax situations complicated by the coronavirus pandemic.

Lawmakers, led by Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Bill Pascrell of New Jersey, had urged the move, citing the pandemic."

[PrinceHakeem]

37. Accountants were asking for June. Can Biden just fire Rettig already. Not sure

Why he's still in there

[andym]

40. Which accountants wanted June?

Seems to have been a lack of agreement by accountants actually on whether to have an extension and how long it should be.

that site is not a political one btw, but one focused on accounting.

43. There it is. Too bad the op had to get dumped on.

[egduj]

42. Prince Hakeem is on point!
