WaPo Falsely Blames Climate Change For Making Tax Season Longer
wapo-tornadoes-tax-season
The Washington Post (WaPo) ran a story on April 17, 2023, titled “Tax season is getting longer. Blame climate change.”
Not only is the story written by Jacob Bogage flat-out wrong, but it is also patently absurd.
Bogage writes:
Hurricane and tornado seasons are getting longer because of climate change. So is tax season.
The IRS granted extensions to taxpayers in seven states to file their taxes this year because of federal disaster declarations. Filers in parts of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi have until July 31 to submit forms and payments because of severe storm and tornado damage.
Those in certain areas of Alabama, California, and Georgia have until Oct. 16, because of winter storms, flooding, mudslides and tornadoes. A winter storm in portions of New York means taxpayers there have until May 15 to make filings and payments.
