The IRS has announced tax relief for taxpayers in Massachusetts affected by severe storms and flooding. The relief includes extended filing and payment deadlines for certain tax returns and tax payments, as well as penalty abatements for late filing or payment. Taxpayers in the affected areas should review the IRS announcement and take advantage of the relief measures to avoid penalties and interest.
The IRS today announced tax relief for individuals and businesses in parts of Massachusetts affected by severe storms and flooding that began on September 11, 2023. The affected taxpayers now have until July 31, 2024, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments.
According to the IRS release—IR-2024-154 (May 31, 2024)—the relief applies to those in Bristol and Worcester counties following the disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred from September 11, 2023, through July 31, 2024. This includes:
Individuals who had an extension to file their 2022 return will also have until July 31, 2024, to file, though payments on these returns are not eligible for the extra time because they were due before the disaster occurred.
In addition, penalties for failing to make payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after September 11, 2023, and before September 26, 2023, will be abated as long as the deposits were made by September 26, 2023.
The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. However, affected taxpayers outside the covered disaster area may call the IRS disaster hotline to request the tax relief.
