IRS Extends 2023 Tax Payment Deadlines and Offers Tax Relief for Tornado-Affected Residents in This State

If you live in Ohio and have been affected by the tornadoes that began on March 14, 2024, you might be eligible for some important tax relief measures. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced extensions on several tax deadlines to help both individuals and businesses recover from the aftermath.

Extended Deadlines

The IRS has extended the deadline for filing your 2023 tax return to September 3, 2024. This applies to both individual and business tax returns. Alongside filing, any tax payments that were originally due have also been postponed to this new date.

Specific Deadlines Affected

For individual taxpayers, the new deadline of September 3, 2024, replaces the original April 15, 2024, deadline. This extension gives more time to manage taxes during recovery.
