【福克斯新闻独家报道】 随着持续的政府停摆给数千名联邦员工带来越来越大的经济压力，特朗普政府将为国土安全部（DHS）工作人员延长税务申报截止日期。
美国财政部和美国国税局将宣布为受影响员工自动延长30天的税务申报期限，使他们免受罚款和利息处罚。本次部分联邦政府停摆现已进入第46天，给联邦员工带来的压力与日俱增。

此类大范围的税务救济极为罕见，通常仅用于重大灾害和其他极端情况，凸显了当前政府停摆的严峻性。
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示：“国土安全部持续停摆造成了不必要的混乱，给国土安全部员工及其家庭带来了不公平的负担。”
他补充道：“我们致力于支持辛勤工作的国土安全部官员和雇员，让他们能够专注于本职任务，保护美国民众的安全，不会因错过税务申报截止日期而受到处罚。”

根据这项措施，受影响的员工现在可以推迟至2026年5月15日再完成税务申报并缴纳应缴税款，不会面临额外的经济处罚。
国土安全部员工包括边境巡逻人员、运输安全管理局官员、特勤局特工和联邦应急管理局应急人员——他们是负责边境安全、航空安全、灾害应对和反恐的一线工作人员。
许多人报告称，随着工资拖欠不断累积，他们难以支付房租、抵押贷款和儿童保育等基本开支。

这项决定出台之际，社会对政府停摆造成的实际后果的压力与日俱增，国土安全部员工陷入了国家安全职责与日益严重的经济压力之间的两难境地。
尽管政府表示，这项救济措施旨在减轻员工负担，但对于许多工人来说，这只是临时的救命稻草，因为更广泛的政治僵局仍在持续。

Trump admin makes major move to relieve ‘unfair burden’ on DHS workers as shutdown drags on
April 1, 2026 7:32pm EDT / Fox News
Tax filing extensions of this kind are rarely granted and are typically reserved for extraordinary situations such as natural disasters or major disruptions

FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration will extend tax filing deadlines for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel as the ongoing shutdown intensifies financial pressure on thousands of federal workers.
The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service are set to announce a 30-day automatic tax filing extension for affected employees, shielding them from penalties and interest. The partial government shutdown has now entered its 46th day, intensifying pressure on federal workers.

Such broad tax relief is highly unusual and typically reserved for major disasters and other extraordinary circumstances, underscoring the severity of the current shutdown.
“The continued shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security has created unnecessary disruptions, placing an unfair burden on DHS personnel and their families,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
“We are committed to supporting our hard-working DHS officers and employees so they can stay focused on their mission and keep the American people safe without being penalized for missing a tax filing deadline,” he added.

Under the measure, affected workers will now have until May 15, 2026, to file their taxes and pay what they owe without facing additional financial penalties.
DHS personnel include Border Patrol agents, TSA officers, Secret Service agents and FEMA responders—frontline workers responsible for border security, aviation safety, disaster response and counterterrorism.
Many have reported struggling to cover basic expenses such as rent, mortgages and childcare as missed paychecks pile up.

The decision comes as pressure mounts over the real-world consequences of the shutdown, with DHS employees caught between their national security responsibilities and growing financial strain.
While the administration says the relief is intended to ease the burden, for many workers it remains only a temporary lifeline as the broader standoff continues.
