As if all it takes to escape low-income living is a few cutbacks, a color-coded Google Doc, and the willpower to skip the morning latte. But for millions of people, especially those living paycheck to paycheck, this kind of advice isn’t just tone-deaf. It’s insulting. Because the truth is, budgeting doesn’t fix poverty. It doesn’t address systemic barriers. It doesn’t raise wages, lower…

You typically do not get an extension to pay if you file for an extension on your own, so these automatic extensions can be very helpful. Taxpayers in 12 states have been given extensions. Some of these extensions apply to all taxpayers in the state, while others apply only to those in certain counties.
