This important tax deadline is very close

The month of April is a reason for many Americans to panic. That's when taxes are usually exhausted (in 2020 as well as this year, with the exception of epidemics), and many filers regularly find themselves struggling to meet those deadlines. In fact, some people are not able to pay their taxes on time and those who get on the boat may request a tax increase. The IRS is very flexible in this regard. You don't need a specific reason to ask for more time to pay your taxes. All you have to do is request an extension to the original filing deadline and you will be given an additional six months to receive your refund. If you filed a tax extension last spring, your IRS deadline is fast approaching. And if you don't, you could face serious penalties. Get that return earlyIf you have re...

GM is increasing its investment in charging infrastructure to build trust in EVs

Investment

General Motors is set to increase its investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure by about three-quarters to about अ 1 billion, to lure drivers who are unlikely to have EV charging availability. The automaker has said it will spend about $ 750,000,000 by 2025 to create more access to public, home and work chargers. The investment has significant implications for GM's Ultimate Charge 360 project. This is not the first time GM has invested in charging. The automaker last year announced a partnership with popular charging network company Evgo to install more than 2,700 DC fast chargers in five years. The availability of charging in the service is consistently cited as people are reluctant to transition to an electric vehicle. A recent consumer report survey found that n...

October tax extension deadline fast approaching October tax extension deadline fast approaching

Tax

The deadline for tax returns for 2020 returns is approaching, but there is still time to avoid additional penalties and fees. Filers have until October 15 to file an extended return, originally on May 17. Those who have applied for an extension can waive the late penalty by sending a refund by October 15. Otherwise, failure to pay the penalty means 5% tax per month, limited to 25%. There are usually no file-to-file penalties for refunds, but taxpayers are likely to lose their money by waiting too long to file. Taxpayers can use online filing options, such as IRS free files, to send returns. In addition, states may have different deadlines for tax extensions, so filers should double check the details through their state tax website. More time to fileAlthough the October 1...

The troubled trucking company had the Trump White House backing the epidemic loan, emails show

Loan

According to an email released Wednesday by the Congressional Oversight Committee, the financially strapped trucking company received support from the Trump White House in 2020. Yellow Corporation gave the Treasury Department a 30% stake as a condition for the $ 700 million loan, which came from funds earmarked by Congress for companies "critical to national security." Debt critics, who have accused Republicans and Democrats of overseeing relief funds, have argued that the Pentagon and Treasury have extended the term of Yellow, formerly known as the YRC, to several competitors in the trolling market. Congressional investigators on the Democratic-led selection committee on the coronavirus crisis, who issued the email, are now asking the National Archives and Records administration to...

Student loan waiver: half a million people to benefit from the repairs, some immediately

Loan

WASHINGTON - The promise of a public service debt waiver program was supposed to be simple. If college graduates are willing to leave the lucrative salary in the private sector to work as teachers and police officers or government employees, any of their federal student loans will be waived after 10 years of payment. The program has proven nothing but forgiveness. More than a decade after it was founded in 2007, thousands of borrowers have applied for the waiver. The federal government has denied almost all of them. That should change since this fall. The Department of Education on Wednesday announced a major overhaul of the debt waiver program that would quickly eliminate ,000 1.7 billion in debt from 22,000 borrowers. The government estimates that about ,000 2.8 billion in d...
