A congressional proposal would extend the tax filing season by 5 weeks
which would give American taxpayers an additional five weeks to file their individual tax returns for 2018. That would push the deadline from April 15, 2019, to May 20, 2019.
In her remarks about the bill, Underwood noted that “just before many families went to file their taxes, there was a senseless government shutdown that left tax filers’ calls unanswered, doors for assistance centers locked, and 90 percent of the IRS workforce home without pay. This is common sense legislation that will help give taxpayers extra time to ask questions and file their taxes this year.
Last year, the IRS experienced computer system issues on Tax Day, April 17, 2018. As a result, the IRS was forced to extend the filing season, giving taxpayers an additional day to file and pay their taxes. Olson warned that crash last year"prompted talk of the risk of a catastrophic systems collapse.
