The Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2020-23, providing additional relief to taxpayers affected by COVID-19. Among other things, the notice automatically extends the 180-day deadline to invest capital gains in a Qualified Opportunity Fund to July 15 for taxpayers with a deadline between April 1 and July 15.
While the notice does not specifically reference any Housing Credit or Housing Bond deadlines, it applies the July 15 deadline to all time-sensitive actions included in IRS Revenue Procedure 2018-58, which includes numerous deadlines related to these programs. As a result of this ruling, taxpayers have until July 15, 2020, to perform any of the sensitive actions below if they were originally due to be performed on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020.
