WASHINGTON\u2014President Donald Trump announced Wednesday night that he will instruct the Treasury Department to allow individuals and businesses negatively affected by the coronavirus to defer their tax payments beyond the April 15 filing deadline.<\/p>\n

In an address from the Oval Office, Trump said he would use his emergency authority to allow individual taxpayers and businesses to defer paying their taxes by next months deadline if they have suffered adverse effects from the spreading virus.<\/p>\n

Under current IRS rules, taxpayers can get an automatic extension on filing their tax returns but they are required to pay tax on the estimated amount they will owe when they do file.<\/p>\n

Members of Congress have urged the administration to take this step amid the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the growing nationwide concerns regarding the potential spread and the resulting economic and public health impact of such an outbreak, we urge you to act quickly and remove one source of stress that individuals face during the crisis,\u201d Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American people should not have to worry about filing IRS forms in the middle of a public health emergency,\u201d the two senators wRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
