The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the deferment of the federal income tax payment deadline from April 15 to July 15, 2020 to help taxpayers and businesses affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns against tax filing deadline extension scams that may compromise personal and financial security and cause undue stress amidst this uncertain time. Many individuals and businesses are facing major life changes, like loss of income or a change in job, which makes filing taxes with accurate information and trustworthy resources especially important. Regardless of the amount owed, the deferment applies to all taxpayers automatically, including individuals, trusts and estates, corporations, and those self-employed without penalties or interest. Taxpayers who may need additional time to file past the updated July 15 deadline can request an extension at irs.gov. “Scammers prey on headlines to take advantage of vulnerable individuals,” said Michael Sedio, VP and General Counsel at the Better Business Bureau. “At this time, taxpayers and businesses should use measures to stay informed and protected against IRS impersonation scams surrounding the tax filing deadline extension that has been issued to alleviate those impacted by COVID-19.” For additional assistance, the IRS unveiled the People First Initiative as part of the COVID-19 effort, which provides immediate relief, including suspensions to collections and limited enforcement actions, to help people facing uncertainty. BBB recommends the following tips to help recognize the telltale signs of a scam and keep your information secure: continued on page 10

John McCain was born in Little Rock, Arkansas - January 25,1838 to George Washington and Margaret McCain. George McCain made three trips across the plains to California. His first was for exploration and he left his family at home. The second trip which took two years, he brought the family with him, coming by oxteam and covered wagon. They wintered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and on this trip his wife and an infant died on the way. The rest of the family arrived in California in 1852; John at age 14 years on arrival, had driven an oxteam the whole trip across country. George remained in the northern part of the state for several years but John wandered off to Nevada and Idaho where he found congenial companions on the range he loved. John returned to California in 1865, learning his father had made another trip to Arkansas and returned with a new wife. In 1866 father and son started for Texas to engage in the cattle business on a large scale. Upon reaching Yuma they learned the Apache Indians were on the war path and it would be very dangerous to attempt passage through the territory without a company of soldiers, so they retraced their way back and arrived at Campo, where they settled in a little valley that still bears their name, “McCain Valley.” The father remained there until his death at age 83 years. In 1868 John McCain was employed as a freighter to haul supplies between Warners and New River Station for government troops stationed at Vallecito and New River to protect the stations and convey the mail. Mrs. John Hart was station keeper at Vallecito and this was a regular stopping place for John McCain on his trips. Here he met Mary Cline, daughter of Judge Cline of Cline Valley near Campo, and a niece of Mrs. Hart. In 1871 John, tired of freighting, came to Julian and opened a blacksmith shop, and, no matter how busy he was, the open spaces called to him and he squatted on a land claim one mile west of Julian and began accumulating a herd of cattle. He met Miss Cline again by accident in Campo, August 1872. She had been much in his thoughts, and it ‘was not long before she accompanied him to Green Valley Falls where she remained with the widow Lassiter while John made a trip to San Diego for a marriage license. When he returned they rode horseback to Twin Pines where they were met by Aunt Mary McCain and a team of horses and a buggy.- They arrived in Julian that evening, August 22, 1872 and were married by Judge Leslie at the home of Aunt Mary and Uncle Lark McCain. Next day they moved Into their cabin on John’s claim (later the Putnam ranch.) When a government surveyor came and sectionized the land, it was found that John’s claim was on a school section and had been purchased by another continued on page 11
