NCCPAP congratulates the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS for their decision to extend the April 15 deadline for filing. “The past year has been extremely trying for everyone, especially for those who prepare income tax returns and advise businesses,” says Mark Stewart, CPA, National President of NCCPAP. He continues, “Since the beginning of the COVID crisis, CPAs have been under extreme pressure helping both our small business and individual clients with various government programs, as well as recent tax law changes, and how they can make use of them. Furthermore, the recent effect of the exemption of the first $10,200 of unemployment compensation for lower income taxpayers has been a monumental change—one rarely seen in March, in the middle of tax season—that retroactively changes prior year tax law. Practitioners as well as software providers desperately needed this extra time to adjust for these changes.”
