*IRS reminder to disaster victims with extensions: File 2022 returns by Feb. 15; all or parts of 8 states and 2 territories affected*
WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service today reminded disaster-area taxpayers who received extensions to file their 2022 returns that these returns are due on Feb. 15, 2024.
Eligible taxpayers were those affected by various disasters that occurred between Aug. 8 and Oct. 9, 2023. This included Hurricane Idalia, Hurricane Lee, Tropical Storm Bolaven, the wildfires in Hawaii, the seawater intrusion in Louisiana and storms and flooding in Illinois. For extension filers, *payments* on these returns were not eligible for the additional time because they were originally due last spring before any of these disasters occurred.
*Locations that qualify for the Feb. 15 filing deadline:*
* Forty-nine counties in Florida [ [link removed] ].
* Thirty-two counties In Georgia [ [link removed] ].
* All of Guam [ [link removed] ].
* Maui and Hawaii counties in Hawaii [ [link removed] ].
* Cook County in Illinois [ [link removed] ].
* Five parishes in Louisiana [ [link removed] ].
* All 16 counties in Maine [ [link removed] ].
* All 14 counties in Massachusetts [ [link removed] ].
* Six islands in the Northern Mariana Islands [ [link removed] ].
* All 46 counties in South Carolina [ [link removed] ].
The IRS normally provides relief, including postponing various tax filing and payment deadlines, for any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA [ [link removed] ]). As long as their address of record is in a disaster-area locality, individual and business taxpayers automatically get the extra time, without having to ask for it. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the disaster relief [ [link removed] ] page on IRS.gov.
In addition, the IRS will work with any taxpayer who lives outside the disaster area but whose records necessary to meet a deadline occurring during the postponement period are located in the affected area. Taxpayers qualifying for relief who live outside the disaster area need to contact the IRS at 866-562-5227. This also includes workers who assisted with relief activities who are affiliated with a recognized government or philanthropic organization.
Besides those who received extensions to file their 2022 returns, there are other returns, payments and time-sensitive tax-related actions that also qualify for the Feb. 15 deadline. For details, see the IRS disaster relief [ [link removed] ] page, especially the disaster relief announcements for each state and territory.
The tax relief is part of a coordinated federal response to the damage caused by these disasters and is based on local damage assessments by FEMA. For information on disaster recovery, visit disasterassistance.gov [ [link removed] ].
