On Saturday, the normal Mid-April tax day was extended to July 15 and would also include regular ES Payment extensions as well.
Extension to Regular Filing Date
This from the IRS Announcement:
“Taxpayers can also defer federal income tax payments due on April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed. This deferment applies to all taxpayers, including individuals, trusts and estates, corporations and other non-corporate tax filers as well as those who pay self-employment tax.
Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief. Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the July 15 deadline, can request a filing extension by filing Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or using the Free File link on IRS.gov. Businesses who need additional time must file Form 7004.
The IRS urges taxpayers who are due a refund to file as soon as possible. Most tax refunds are still being issued within 21 days.”
Updated Scam Alert
The bad guys are taking advantage of the current situation by sending emails related to the Virus… I have personally received over a half a dozen so far, some very clever.
We have also been warned by our security advisers to be on the watch….
We wanted to give you a heads up…
- Take a quick moment to slow down and double check your emails and texts for the time being (hurried answers or clicks are just what they are looking for!)
- Be EXTRA careful on any email you may receive
- Do not open any unusual Zip or hot-linked texts
- Double check the from email address on ANY unusual email – read carefully, they again are, clever
Have a Great “Tax Extended, Scammer Watch” Day!

Financial Planning Tip(s)
All About Taxes or the Getting Ready for the Processing of Personal 1040’s
Corrected 1099 Reminder
Just last Friday we reminded of the Corrected 1099 time frames …. and NOT to rush your taxes if you have after tax accounts that generate the all encompassing 1099 Misc and Int Tax Forms ….
With originals due on or around the end of February …. aka NOW – hah The good ole Corrected’s are a few weeks out yet… not to worry we will let you know who those lucky ones are that get a Corrected and a headcount that let’s us know if those early planners/filers may be safe to go forward !
IRS Pointer and J.K. Financial, Inc. Important Reminder too
Also, early in the month here, which may seem like and eternity ago (or not) we highlighted an IRS heads up email about prepping for Taxes AND we added our most important thought, which has come into play multiple times already this season…hence the happy repeat and acknowledgment :
” … We would add, just because you did not receive a tax notice, DOES NOT mean the IRS did not and is looking for the appropriate notation on your tax return (Huge amount of time this occurs with cashing Series EE bonds) … a missing item is an easy automated paper letter audit….and as mentioned here absolutely requires a response …”
Capital Market Comments – Advanced Analysis Series Begins
ODTE’S — Zero Dated to Expire Options – Part Two of our Advanced Analysis Series
Here in this Post we talk about a VERY heavy topic …. ODTE (Zero Dated to Expire Options) their unusual quantities, as well as their possible Capital Market manipulation …. not only that, but this post also is Part 2 of our Multiple part series that we intend to do this year… in addition, here is a screencast video during market hours to help explain our point too…
When “Good” News can be Bad – Fast Economic Reminders
In another reminder like post, here we speak of when “Good” News can be seen as bad due to the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) attempt to slow the economy…
The good news is from this report lots of jobs and more than expected…. Bad News… Fed may continue to be aggressive in slowing the economy… aka Higher short term rates…
Two year at the time was 4.41% now 4.81% a LARGE move for such a short term of 2 years!
Have a Great Day, Talk to You at the End of March!
