IRS Tax Relief for Texas Residents Affected by Wildfires

If you're a Texas resident affected by recent wildfires, the IRS has announced tax relief measures to assist you. Affected individuals and businesses now have until November 3, 2025, to file returns and pay any taxes originally due during this period. This extension applies to various tax returns, including individual, corporate, and estate and trust income tax returns, as well as partnership returns, S corporation returns, and trust returns. Additionally, estimated income tax payments originally due on or after March 14, 2025, and before November 3, 2025, are postponed through November 3, 2025.

Key Relief Measures:

• Extended Deadlines: Taxpayers in the affected areas have additional time to file returns and make payments without incurring penalties.

• Waiver of Penalties: Penalties for failure to file or pay on time are waived for affected taxpayers who meet the extended deadlines.

• Eligibility: The relief applies to individuals, businesses, and tax-exempt organizations located in the disaster area.
