...most of those being contractors to the Fed Govt.

I saw the report (after seeing this post...and did it for research-purposes ONLY) and it never said answered the "why". Never mentions the word "delinquent".

There are a million and five *valid* reasons why folks can't or don't pay taxes on the April 15 deadline......

My guess is that knowing our Fed Govt and the sheer amount of red tape involved when it comes to money, and the massive quantity of tax loopholes, these people are not able to pay their taxes due to missing forms, information, etc, or are getting out of paying their taxes now due to existing laws, regulations, etc.

If all of them are following existing tax laws and filed an extension with the IRS, than what's the problem?

Oh wait, there is no problem. Thank you Fox News for getting the donkeys all rilled up. Again.
