The federal tax deadline is now one week away.
The IRS extended the deadline to May 17th because of the pandemic.
However, don’t expect those tax refund checks soon as the IRS continues to deal with a backup. According to CBS News, the agency is holding almost 31 million returns for manual processing—a number that is expected to grow.
At the end of last week, about 121 million tax returns had been filed out of an expected 160 million.
