As of now, the IRS is still processing returns and sending out refunds. DOES THIS APPLY TO MY STATE TAXES TOO? No. Check with your state tax authority to see about any changes to due dates. Some are not extending their deadline, others are following the federal model and others still are setting their own deadlines. Cal- ifornia, for example, has bumped its date for filing and payment of state taxes to June 15. HOW WILL THIS HELP THE ECONOMY? It’s unclear. Treasury Secretary Ste- ven Mnuchin estimates that taxpayers will be able to keep $300 billion in the economy for now. And some tax and economic experts say any extra cash in the hands of Americans is helpful because many will be struggling to get by. However, some say the tax delay will not provide widespread financial relief. Howard Gleckman, a se- nior fellow at the nonpar- tisan Tax Policy Center, says he thinks it will have a limited impact. That is in part because about three-quarters of Amer- icans get refunds in any year and won’t benefit from a delayed tax bill. The IRS expected about 150 million individual tax returns, as of the most recent count, about 68 million taxpayers have al- ready filed. Those who file early tend to be low- and middle-in- come individuals who are getting a refund. High- er-income individuals, or those with complex taxes who owe money to the gov- ernment, tend to file later, Gleckman said. This move will provide some relief for them, but Gleckman warns that higher income Lynn Dorchester individuals have extra 947 Western Ave. 1.800.367.1207 256 Freeport St. cash, and they tend to save 781-599-0096 NMLS# 410564 617-436-1005 it not spend it.
