Coronavirus update: The taxman delays his visit

Yesterday, the U.S. Treasury Department postponed the due date for making Federal income tax payments from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020. Any individual who owes less than $1 million or business that owes less than $10 million can defer their Federal income tax payment until July 15, and no additional forms will be required for these delayed filings.

With this move, the Trump administration has helped American families and small businesses keep their hard-earned money as we combat the spread of Coronavirus. I encourage you to visit the IRS’ Coronavirus tax relief page for more updates as they become available.

Separately, here is an article from The San Joaquin Valley Sun discussing the need for public health officials to make informed, data-driven decisions regarding Coronavirus.

Lastly, I want to ensure you are equipped with the contact information for your local health officials. I've compiled the contact information for the Fresno County Department of Public Health and the Tulare County Health & Human Services Agency, as well as updates from the CDC, at my website.
