Tax filing deadline extended to May 17
The IRS has announced an extension to the traditional tax filing deadline from April 15 to May 17 for individual taxpayers and taxpayers who pay self-employment tax. For taxpayers who owe money to the IRS, the deadline to pay is also extended to May 17, without penalties or interest. Overseas filers can still take advantage of the automatic extended filing date of July 15. However, this automatic filing date for overseas filers does not prevent the accrual of penalties or interest for those who owe; payments must be made by May 17 to avoid these fees. Of note, this extension only applies to federal tax filing and not to state filing. Check with your state tax agency for filing deadlines.
Beware of new scam
Polizei has been made aware of a new phone scam where fraudsters send a SMS stating that a package has been sent. The texts can look very legitimate and ask users to click a link to find out where the package is being held or to confirm the parcel shipment via the link. Clicking the link will install malware on your device.
Should you receive such a text message:
- Under no circumstances should you tap the link!
- Delete the message!
- If your phone asks whether an app should be installed, do not confirm under any circumstances!
- Set up a third-party block through your wireless service provider.
- Here’s what you should do if the app has already been installed:
- Switch your cell to airplane mode
- Let Security Forces know!
- Call your service provider and inform them of the problem.
