The White House is considering again delaying the deadline to file federal taxes and adopting economic measures to support Americans that do not require further legislation from Congress, NBC reported.
Tax Day, which has already been pushed from April 15 to July 15, could be extended to Sept. 15 or Dec. 15 although an official decision has not been made, the outlet reported, citing two people familiar with the discussions.
