IRS Extends 2025 Tax Deadlines for Disaster-Stricken States, Including Florida, Tennessee

The IRS has extended tax filing deadlines for several states due to natural disasters in 2024. Residents of nine states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, have their deadline extended to May 1, 2025, due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. In Tennessee, the deadline is extended to November 3, 2025, following tornadoes and flooding. Other areas with extensions include Juneau, Alaska, and parts of New Mexico and Virginia. These extensions apply automatically, with no forms needed, and affect various tax payments and filings. Taxpayers are encouraged to file early if expecting refunds, despite the extensions.
