· Tax Day has moved from April 15 to July 15. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin tweeted the announcement: https://twitter.com/stevenmnuchin1/status/1241002750483324930. What does this mean? You do not have to file your federal return or make payments until July 15. Your state income tax requirement updates can be found here:
· Having difficulties making your mortgage payments? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will suspend foreclosures and evictions for at least 60 days. This also applies to loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration or F.H.A. Loans. Here is the link for the announcement from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
