Tax Relief for Hurricane Irene Victims

Last month, Hurricane Irene swept the East Coast of the U.S. with a vengeance. So many people were affected by the storm. The IRS has announced that eligible taxpayers in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York and Puerto Rico will receive tax relief. Other locations could be added as well.

Eligible business facing tomorrow's September 15th tax deadline will be allowed until October 31st to file. This also extends individuals and businesses that are facing the October 15th deadline, as well as estimated tax payments that are normally due on September 15th.

Who is eligible? Those taxpayers that are in federal disaster areas from Hurricane Irene are eligible. To find out more, visit http://www.disasterassistance.gov/

Currently in North Carolina, Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Dare, Hyde, Pamlico and Tyrell counties are eligible.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by Hurrican Irene.
