WASHINGTON — Tax dodgers who hid assets overseas will get a few extra weeks to apply for an amnesty program that has been flooded with applications ahead of the Wednesday deadline.
The Internal Revenue Service said Monday the deadline will be extended until Oct. 15.
More than 3,000 Americans have applied for the program, which promises no jail time and reduced penalties for tax cheats who come forward, said a government official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
