With respect to the Treasury tax payment extensions how and when are you advising clients to pay their April and June 2020 tax estimates?

Wait until we have facts to answer these questions.  Same with paying for trusts, and anything else.  No official rules are out yet.

I think it's too early to tell.  Ask me again in 3 1/2 weeks.

The reality is that underpayment interest is much cheaper than credit card interest.  So if there is potential for the client to have cash flow problems they are likely in a better position to know where to "invest" their money.  Keeping the electricity on and buying groceries is a higher priority than keeping square with the IRS.
