IRS Tax Filing Relief
The IRS extended federal tax filing deadline for those impacted by the March 14th Indian Lake tornado to September 3, 2024.
“The tax relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred from March 14, 2024, through Sept. 3, 2024 (postponement period). As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until Sept. 3, 2024, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period. The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. These taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief.”
The extension applies to individual and business tax returns, 2023 IRA and health savings account contributions, quarterly estimated income tax payments, and quarterly payroll and excise tax payments. Learn More.
