U.S. Treasury and IRS provide 30‑day tax filing extension to Department of Homeland Security employees affected by ongoing shutdown. On April 1, 2026, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the Department of the Treasury, working with the Internal Revenue Service, would grant a 30‑day automatic extension for the 2026 tax filing season to DHS personnel whose work is disrupted by the federal shutdown. The new deadline is May 15, 2026, and the extension includes relief from penalties and interest. Treasury said the measure was intended to alleviate financial burdens on DHS workers and their families who are still on the job without pay. The extension allows affected employees additional time to file returns and pay any taxes owed without facing penalties.
