IRS Reminds Taxpayers of Disaster Deadlines (IR-2025-1)

The IRS reminded disaster-area taxpayers that they have until February 3, 2025, to file their 2023 returns, in the entire states of Louisiana and Vermont, all of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and parts of Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas and Washington State.

Taxpayers in the entire states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and parts of Alaska, New Mexico, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia will have until May 1, 2025, to file their 2023 returns. For these taxpayers, May 1 will also be the deadline for filing their 2024 returns and paying any tax due.

Additionally, taxpayers who live or have a business in Israel, Gaza or the West Bank, and certain other taxpayers affected by terrorist attacks in the State of Israel have until September 30, 2025, to file and pay. This includes all 2023 and 2024 returns.

Moreover, as long as taxpayers’ address of record is in a disaster-area locality, individual and business taxpayers automatically get the extra time, without having to ask for it. Finally, the current list of eligible localities is available here.
