This move will likely impact crypto investors, many of whom will owe as a result of trade activity in 2019.  TAX RELIEF AMID CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK The payment extension permits individuals to defer payments and interest on up to $1 million until July 15th. Businesses can defer up to $10 million. This unprecedented move has been taken in light of the growing economic hardships much of the public is experiencing. Several states have also granted deferments, with more expected to follow suit. crypto tax This deferment is welcome news to many crypto investors who need time to sort out their tax liabilities.
