IRS Tax Deadline Approaching for Storm Victims in These 4 States
The IRS extended the tax deadline to July 31 for storm victims in several states. Here are the counties in Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee that need to file — and pay — federal taxes soon.
Following severe storms, the IRS extended the deadline for several states to file federal income tax returns for the 2022 tax year. (Those are the returns normally due in April each year.) However, the IRS extended deadlines were different for various states. So, although not all storm victims have a July 31 tax deadline, impacted taxpayers in 36 counties across four states, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, do. That deadline is just around the corner.
Tax Deadline in Arkansas
Impacted Arkansas taxpayers that had businesses or lived in federally declared disaster areas were granted a tax deadline of July 31 as a result of tornadoes and severe storms in March.
The extended Arkansas tax deadline applies to individual and business tax returns normally due April 18, 2023. The extension also applies to estimated tax payments that would have normally been due between April 15 and July 31. The extended deadline applies to the following counties.
