REMINDER TO STORM VICTIMS IN FOUR STATES: FILE, PAY TAX RETURN BY JULY 31

If you have clients in parts of four states that were affected by springtime disaster declarations, remind them that their 2022 federal income tax returns and tax payments are due on Monday, July 31, 2023. Those areas include:

  • Three counties in Arkansas due to severe storms and tornadoes on March 31.
  • Thirteen counties in Indiana due to severe storms, straight-line winds and tornadoes on March 31 to April 1.
  • Seven counties in Mississippi due to severe storms, straight-line winds and tornadoes on March 24 to 25.
  • Thirteen counties in Tennessee due to severe storms, straight-line winds and tornadoes on March 31 to April 1.

The IRS normally provides relief, including postponing various tax filing and payment deadlines, for any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If 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.

What returns and payments qualify for the July 31 deadline?

Eligible returns and payments include:

  • 2022 individual income tax returns and payments normally due on April 18.
  • For eligible taxpayers, 2022 contributions to IRAs and health savings accounts.
  • Quarterly estimated tax payments normally due on April 18 and June 15.
  • Calendar-year 2022 corporate and fiduciary income tax returns and payments normally due on April 18.
  • Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on May 1.
  • Calendar-year 2022 returns filed by tax-exempt organizations normally due on May 15.

Reminder for those in four other states

Disaster-area taxpayers in four other states face deadlines later this year. Most have until October 16 and the rest until August 15.
