WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday urged the Internal Revenue Service to extend this year's tax filing deadline until July 15.

"We want to remind the IRS that many Americans continue to face the same health and economic challenges that necessitated an extension last year," wrote the chairmen of the House's Ways and Means Committee and the Oversight Subcommittee, referring to the filing delay in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. "Facing enormous strain and anxiety, taxpayers need flexibility now. We demand that the IRS announce an extension as soon as possible.”

Why extend the deadline there is no reason people can't get their taxes done. The tax software available makes it really simple, even the uneducated trump supporters could follow the softwares instructions.
10% flat earth flat tax - everyone and everything pays - and if a bot makes it, a bot pays taxes as if it were a human
I think the dems really hate this country !
Make the move permanent.  Half the country doesn't pay federal taxes anyways.
a flat tax, 10% on everything and everyone, no “carried interest” or “passive income” or “investment credits” or “transfer costs”, just a flat earth flat tax
