Hurricane Tax Relief: Extended Deadlines

The IRS has announced tax relief for individuals and businesses affected by recent hurricanes in Florida. This means you may have extra time to file your federal tax returns and make tax payments.

Who Qualifies for Hurricane Tax Relief?

The IRS is providing tax deadline extensions for those affected by Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton in Florida, and those impacted by storms in Juneau, Alaska. If you live or have a business in these areas, you likely qualify for the extended deadlines.

What are the New Tax Deadlines?

Most tax-related deadlines that originally fell on or after October 5, 2024, and before May 1, 2025, are now due on May 1, 2025. This includes:

• 2024 individual and business tax returns
• 2023 individual and corporate returns with valid extensions
• Quarterly estimated tax payments

The IRS often provides tax relief in times of natural disasters. These provisions are designed to help individuals and businesses focus on recovery without the added stress of looming tax deadlines. However, these events can create unique tax situations.

It's important to understand how these provisions affect your specific situation.
