Two top Democrats in the House of Representatives on Monday urged the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to mimic what was done last year and extend the tax filing deadline, citing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.) and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Bill Pascrell Jr. (D-N.J.) said in a statement that the pandemic is putting a “titanic strain” on both the IRS and taxpayers.
