The IRS has announced extended tax filing deadlines for residents in multiple states affected by recent natural disasters, including hurricanes and severe weather. Taxpayers in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Kentucky are among those granted additional time to file their federal tax returns, with many deadlines pushed back to May 1 or even November for some areas. This extension aims to provide relief for those impacted by adverse conditions, ensuring they have ample time to fulfill their tax obligations without incurring penalties. Taxpayers are encouraged to check specific state requirements and stay vigilant against potential tax scams during this extended filing period.
