April 15 Is Usually Tax Day, But Not This Year Due To The COVID-19 Pandemic
Today is April 15, and that normally means Tax Day.
www.cbsnews.comHere’s a quick update on Tax Day in the US and what’s been happening most recently.
- Tax Day typically falls on April 15, with extensions possible for filers who request them. This year’s discussions have focused on extension options and last-minute filing guidance as the deadline approached, including reminders about filing or requesting extensions to avoid penalties.[8]
- In recent coverage, there has been emphasis on tax relief measures and refunds, with reports noting substantial refund activity and the impact of new or expanded tax cuts and credits touted by administration and supporters.[1][2]
- Coverage also highlighted surrounding policy messaging around corporate and individual tax policies, including discussions of overtime and “no tax on tips” provisions as part of broader tax reform narratives in 2026.[2]
If you want, I can narrow this to:
- The exact deadline status for this year and any extensions available
- What changes or relief measures apply to individual filers (no tax on tips, overtime deductions, etc.)
- State-by-state extensions or special-case deadlines (e.g., disaster areas)
Would you like me to focus on a specific angle or provide a concise, up-to-date briefing with sources? If you’d like, I can also summarize guidance from the IRS for last-minute filers and extensions.
