IRS Extends Tax Filing Deadline to November for Tennessee Storm Victims

The IRS has granted a tax filing extension until November 3, 2025, for residents of Tennessee affected by severe weather, including storms, tornadoes, and flooding that began on April 2, 2025. This relief applies to all individuals and businesses across the state's 95 counties, allowing them to file their federal tax returns and make payments without incurring penalties. The extension covers various tax obligations, including individual income tax returns, IRA contributions, and estimated tax payments. Additionally, penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due within a specified period will also be waived if paid by the deadline. Taxpayers eligible for this relief do not need to take action as the IRS will automatically identify and apply the relief to those in the disaster areas. The IRS encourages affected individuals to check their eligibility and stay updated via their official website.
