The IRS said people affected by Irma in parts of Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are currently eligible for deadline and payment relief. As the Federal Emergency Management Agency updates its list of areas eligible for disaster assistance, taxpayers in those places also will be included in the IRS action.
If you’re a taxpayer outside of the affected areas but rely on records from the area, contact the IRS and you could also receive a reprieve on upcoming deadlines, the agency said. Same goes for volunteers and paid workers who are assisting disaster relief efforts.
