Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson's Statement on 2020 Tax Filing Season Update

Statement

Date: March 18, 2020
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Taxes Health and Health Care

Congresswoman Johnson released the following statement after the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service announced that Americans owing up to $1 million in federal income tax and businesses owing up to $10 million in federal income tax would have an additional 90 days (until July 15, 2020) to make their tax payments without penalty or interest:

"As Americans face uncertainty amid the coronavirus crisis, this is welcome relief for taxpayers," said Congresswoman Johnson. "While the payment deadline is extended until July 15, 2020, the filing deadline remains the same as it always is--April 15. Taxpayers should still be sure to file their income tax return by this deadline. My office will continue to monitor guidance from the IRS and will release as updates become available."
