IRS Gives Taxpayers in Area Threatened by Ike Until Sept. 22 To File Corporate and Individual Estimated Taxes
IR-2008-105, Sept. 12, 2008
WASHINGTON — Taxpayers and tax preparers affected in coming days by Hurricane Ike will have an extra seven days to file corporate tax returns and third-quarter estimated taxes otherwise due on Monday, Sept. 15, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.
Hurricane Ike is expected to make landfall on the Gulf Coast of Texas, not far from Houston, by early Saturday morning.
Because the storm is falling within one business day of the Sept. 15 due dates, taxpayers directly impacted by the storm will have until midnight Sept. 22 to meet their tax filing obligations without incurring late filing and payment penalties.
The IRS is likely to further postpone that deadline and make further tax relief available following damage assessments by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Affected taxpayers can mark paper tax returns with the words “Hurricane Ike.” Taxpayers who e-file their returns can use their software’s “disaster” feature, if available.

Tax Relief in Disaster Situations
Updated Sept. 12, 2008
The IRS is providing taxpayers affected by Hurricane Ike with seven extra days to file individual estimated taxes and corporate taxes due Monday, Sept. 15. The agency is continuing to monitor the impact of Hurricane Ike along the Gulf Coast.
Tax relief is now available to victims of Hurricane Gustav in Louisiana. Certain filing and payment deadlines have been postponed until Jan. 5, 2009. See the news release for more details.
With an active hurricane season underway, the IRS recommends that taxpayers in vulnerable areas take steps now to protect their tax and financial records. For further information on hurricane recovery, visit the Federal Emergency Management Agency hurricane response page.
The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 offers a new option to homeowners who previously claimed a casualty loss deduction resulting from hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Details on filing amended returns will be available in the near future. See revised questions and answers for more information.
