President Donald Trump has advised the U.S. Department of Treasury to move the tax deadline from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020. This move is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and will give taxpayers more time to file their federal tax returns and make payments.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin complied with the directive and tweeted the following:

“At @realDonaldTrump’s direction, we are moving Tax Day from April 15 to July 15. All taxpayers and businesses will have additional time to file and make payments without interest and penalties.”

We are still awaiting further guidelines regarding this deadline delay from the IRS. We will continue to share updates with you.
