Because of governmental reactions to COVID-19, there's expected to be a lot of changes to small-business taxation. Proposed legislation could bring tax breaks. Additionally, the IRS is expected to announce a new deadline for 2019 tax filing in addition to penalty-free tax deferment.

FreeTaxUSA—which makes sense, since their premise is offering federal tax filing for, well . . . free.
