Important Tax Relief Update for Southern California Wildfire Victims

 

Extended Deadlines for Affected Taxpayers

The IRS has announced that affected taxpayers now have until October 15, 2025, to file various federal tax returns and make tax payments. This relief applies to individuals and businesses located in areas designated by FEMA as disaster zones.

Currently, this includes Los Angeles County, with additional counties potentially being added.

 

Key Deadlines Postponed to October 15, 2025

 

Individual Income Tax Returns and Payments

2024 IRA and HSA Contributions for eligible taxpayers

2024 Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments

Quarterly Payroll and Excise Tax Returns

Partnership and S Corporation Returns

Corporate and Fiduciary Returns and Payments

Tax-Exempt Organization Returns

 

Additionally, penalties for payroll and excise tax deposits due from January 7 to January 22, 2025, will be abated if deposits are made by January 22, 2025.

 

Automatic Relief and Special Circumstances

 

Taxpayers with an IRS address of record in the disaster area will automatically receive filing and penalty relief—no action is required. If you have relocated to the disaster area or your records are located there, and you receive a late filing or payment notice, contact the IRS at the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

 

Taxpayers living outside the disaster area but whose records or preparers are affected may also qualify for relief.

Contact the IRS Disaster Hotline at 866-562-5227 for assistance.
