The IRS announced its People First Initiative this afternoon finally providing meaningful relief for taxpayers until July 15, 2020 including: 1-suspending installment agreement and offer in compromise payments; 2-suspending the issuance of liens and levies; and 3-suspending new certifications to the Department of State for taxpayers who are "seriously delinquent".

Breaking news! Tax filing deadline is being extended to July 15, 2020! Jennifer Ann Wynne-Carew

Effective as of 9:00 PM on March 18, 2020 the United States Tax Court building is closed. Under the holding in Guralnik v. Comm'r, this should extend the time for filing a petition until the date the clerk's office reopens. However, as they have done in the past, the IRS may still move to dismiss petitions based on alleged late filing.

All individual and other non-corporate tax filers may defer up to $1 million of federal income tax (including self-employment tax) payments due on April 15, 2020, until July 15, 2020, without penalties or interest. Corporate taxpayers may defer of up to $10 million of federal income tax payments that would be due on April 15, 2020, until July 15, 2020, without penalties or interest. Jennifer Ann Wynne-Carew

Breaking news! Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced that his department is pushing back the April 15 tax filing deadline, giving individuals and many businesses 90 extra days to pay taxes they owe. Individuals can defer up to $1 million of tax liability and corporations get an extension on up to $10 million.

Unfortunately, as of now, I do not see any meaningful relief being given by either the IRS or NYS to taxpayers affected by COVID19, especially small businesses. Restaurants, pubs, gyms, and movie theaters in NYS are being ordered to close by government fiat (restaurants can still offer take-out). How are these business supposed to make timely payroll and sales tax payments? How are these businesses supposed to honor their installment payment agreements? Without meaningful relief, when many small businesses close their doors later today, it will be permanent.

The U.S. Tax Court canceled its remaining March trial sessions due to concerns over COVID19.
