MOVE THE DEADLINE FURTHER?

[Lee B]

According to several news articles, both the NCCPAP and the AICPA are pushing hard to get the IRS to extend the deadline

for all forms and payments from April 15th to June 15th. They are saying the extension to May 17th wasn't very helpful,

since it excluded Trusts, Corporations and all 1040 taxpayers who need to make quarterly estimated payments.

I agree that at the very least the deadline extension to May 17th should have included all form and all payments.

It didn't really help me since almost all of my returns are business related.

I doubt that they will unless Congress yells real loud along with a bunch of other people. Like above didn't help much.

New York State did something sensible (I am shocked, but hey I guess these things can indeed happen).  They changed ALL their due dates for every type of return and payment to July 15th.  No exceptions.  Of course, the feds' date is earlier, but still.  Sensible!  Pick a date far enough in the future to matter, and make it across the board. Good for NYS for this.

Catherine, MN needs to do that too!  They haven't even worked out which of the gazillion federal changes from last year we'll conform to.  And the legislature is in session until around May 17th, so that's when they'll probably do something.

Absolutely the feds and states need to match the Estimated dates to the return dates!

MD did July 15th before the feds due to MD law changes in February (that they still haven't fully implemented).

MA *might* vote on something  - heaven only knows what - this week.  So we're on wait.

I live in New York - not very much is sensible here.

I feel like Andy is peddling as hard as he can to save his own butt.  We are also legalizing pot.

ATX support called and said state forms for unemployment changes should start coming 3/29.

I just opened the NYS form and see it hasn't updated yet.  Thank you though for the update.  This tax season is just nuts!

I have never seen worse, in 25+ years.  Y'know, we're going to start looking back on LAST year, with EIDL and PPP and stimulus-only returns, and think, "Good times, man, good times."

They should move the filing date back to the year 9595.

Great song by Zager  and Evans.  By 9595 we may have a problem if those lyrics come true.
