Americans impacted by 2024 natural disasters may qualify for extension to file taxes
Briefly

The IRS allows taxpayers affected by disasters, such as hurricanes or wildfires, to file for automatic extensions. Most individuals must file by April 15, but victims in declared areas, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, receive additional time until May 1. Certain wildfires in Los Angeles offer a deadline of October 15. Specific counties in Tennessee, Virginia, Alaska, and New Mexico are also covered. The IRS urges taxpayers to be aware of these extensions to avoid penalties for late filings.
Taxpayers affected by federally declared disasters may receive an automatic extension to file taxes, often granting an additional two weeks or more.
Individuals in disaster-struck areas, like those hit by hurricanes or wildfires, can benefit from extended tax filing deadlines provided by the IRS.
