IRS Warns Tax Deadline Is Approaching in 3 States

Taxpayers in three states face a mid-July deadline to file their taxes or make payments for the 2023 year after extensions were given over federal disaster declarations, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Residents and businesses in Maine, Rhode Island, and Alaska have to submit their 2023 taxes by Monday, July 15, the IRS warned in a recent news release. Those residents didn’t have to file their taxes like most other Americans by April 15 due to the disaster declarations that were issued for severe storms, landslides, mudslides, and flooding between November 2023 and January 2024.

“As long as their address of record is in a disaster-area locality, individual and business taxpayers automatically get the extra time, without having to ask for it,” the IRS said in the release.

Areas with the July 15 deadline include the Wrangell Cooperative Association of Alaska Tribal Nation due to landslides, storms, and mudslides in November; eight counties in Maine—Cumberland, Hancock, Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Waldo, Washington, and York—due to storms and flooding in January; and four counties in Rhode Island—Kent, Newport, Providence, and Washington—also because of storms and flooding in December.

The IRS said that the several hundred thousand residents of those counties do not need to contact the tax agency to file their documents and that the areas were automatically granted extra time.
