As of April 25, 2025, the IRS has granted federal tax filing and payment extensions to taxpayers in several states affected by natural disasters. These extensions apply to various tax filings and payments, including those related to the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC), provided the business is located in a federally declared disaster area.

 

States with Tax Deadline Extensions Beyond April 15, 2025

 

September 25, 2025 Deadline

• North Carolina – Entire state (Hurricane Helene)

 

October 15, 2025 Deadline

• California – Los Angeles County (January Wildfires) 

 

November 3, 2025 Deadline

• Tennessee – Entire state (severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding)

• Kentucky – Entire state (severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, and landslides)

• West Virginia – Specific counties, including Boone, Greenbrier, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Monroe, Raleigh, Summers, Wayne, and Wyoming

 

Important Notes

• These extensions apply to various tax filings and payments, including individual income tax returns, business returns, and estimated tax payments.

• Taxpayers do not need to take any action to receive these extensions; they are applied automatically based on the taxpayer’s address of record.

• If you reside outside the designated disaster areas but your tax records are located within the affected regions, you may still qualify for relief. Contact the IRS at 866-562-5227 for assistance.
