@Natalie Kolodij as I said in my personal message to you I apologize for being incorrect. I certainly wouldn't want to mislead a taxpayer into the wrong advice. At the time of my original post I believed I was using authoritative material to post good news to users on this forum. It's apparent that I am not the only one who was incorrect as the article I used has been edited multiple times since its original publish. You may Google "Treasury Delays April 15th Tax Deadline by 90 Days" by Lisa Davison at Bloomberg which maybe I should've cited in the first place. It was first released around 1pm today and edited around 3 and 4pm.
It would've been simple for you to correct me as I told you, but it's really not necessary to call it click bait nonsense. It reflects poorly on your respect for other posters on this forum and those in our accounting profession. I've been wrong many times in my life and have learned plenty. I will take this error and learn as well.
To me click bait is meant to deceive someone into gaining from them. If you had really read my original post you would have realized I was not quoting what the AICPA has been discussing the last few weeks. I actually was getting my info from information released today.
Calling my material click bait may lead someone to think I am a fraud. I certainly wouldn't want to be accused of being a fraud.
Also, here is a great definition of click bait. I encourage you to consider using it in the future.
Clickbait, a form of false advertisement, uses hyperlink text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, with a defining characteristic of being deceptive, typically sensationalized or misleading.
I believe my post was neither deceptive, sensationalized nor misleading. It was very incorrect which you have done a great job of correcting.
As I told you personally I truly respect what you and a lot of the other accounting folks on this forum do. I've been able to increase my knowledge by reading the answers you provide. I believe there are times though that a few of you attack other posters based on your comments such as the click bait comment when it's really not necessary.
