When severe weather leads to major disaster declarations, the tax obligations of the residents dealing with the aftermath also are affected. The Internal Revenue Service regularly announces tax relief for those taxpayers, including later filing deadlines.
One of those delayed tax due dates is Monday, Feb. 3.
Taxpayers in 14 states and two U.S. island territories who were struck by devastating hurricanes, floods, and various other lashings from an irate Mother Nature last year were given more time to file their 2023 tax returns for which they had received an extension.
So, instead of having get their 2023 tax year 1040 forms to the IRS by Oct. 15 last year, they were given until Feb. 3, 2025.
The Feb. 3 deadline applies to taxpayers in the 16 jurisdictions listed below. The locations are linked to the official IRS notices about the tax relief.
Taxpayers on 2023 return extension in the entire states of Louisiana and Vermont, as well as all of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, were granted the later Feb. 3, 2025, due date.
The Feb. 3 deadline for filing extended 2023 returns also applies to filers in parts of Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington state.
In addition, more taxpayers in major disaster areas last year get even more time to file. This group faces a May 1 deadline.
