New comment by MilnerRoute in "Taxpayers May Be Eligible for Significant Tax Refunds – If They Act by July 10"

MilnerRoute — Sun, 10 May 2026 15:04:58 +0000

It's not just if you filed late. It also says payments "due any time within that window were not late until after July 10, 2023."

So for example, if you were a contractor who paid your taxes on April 15 (rather than making quarterly payments).

New comment by MilnerRoute in "'The Iran war strengthened Ukraine. Could a ceasefire with Russia be closer?'"

MilnerRoute — Sun, 03 May 2026 17:39:56 +0000

"Crude oil export data suggests the rise in prices, plus the easing of American sanctions on countries buying Russian oil, boosted Russian revenues to 2.3 times their December-February levels in the third week of the Iran war. But in the fourth week, Ukrainian drone strikes on energy-producing infrastructure reduced Russia's earnings by $1bn, eradicating around two-thirds of the previous week's gains."
