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

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...
