WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Ranking
Member of the Senate Finance Committee, issued the following statement urging
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to consider extending the current tax-filing
deadline:
“There is growing bipartisan support for
the IRS to extend the filing deadline.
The various coronavirus relief programs created over the last year,
including the bill signed into law just last week, have resulted in a large
amount of extra paperwork for taxpayers this year and have required tax
preparation firms to constantly update their systems. The IRS should strongly consider extending
the filing deadline, giving taxpayers and businesses more certainty and time to
receive accurate guidance and file returns properly.”
