In response to various weather and other declared disasters, the IRS is authorized to grant extensions of time to file or pay tax. In light of recent natural disasters, including the hurricanes last fall and the California wild fires, and the upcoming due dates for 2024 tax returns, we have updated our list of jurisdictions for which the IRS has granted disaster-related extensions of time as of March 1, 2025. At this time, the IRS has granted extended deadlines to file tax returns and pay taxes due during the specified period for impacted taxpayers living or having a business located in (or having their tax records located in) the declared disaster areas listed below. The following chart summarizes the relief available in each case. For a complete list of the types of tax returns and payments covered by the extension, please follow the links below to the IRS website page for your state.
