WASHINGTON, D.C. (KYMA, KECY) - The Trump administration has moved the deadline for individuals and business to file their income taxes from April 15 to July 15.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin made the announcement Friday morning on Twitter:

At @realDonaldTrump’s direction, we are moving Tax Day from April 15 to July 15. All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.
