What You Should Know About the IRS Tax Deadline Extension

San Diego County taxpayers received a tax deferral. The Internal Revenue Service has extended this year’s tax deadline for individuals and businesses in San Diego County to October 16.

IRS spokesman Rafael Tulino said the extension covers areas affected by the January floods, as outlined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

“Generally speaking, when FEMA declares a natural disaster, the IRS is guided by that to provide tax credits in and around the disaster area and those affected by it,” Tulino said. “It could be floods, storms, anything you can imagine across our country.”

The last time this happened was during the wildfires in 2019.

“For many people affected or affected by a flood or any other natural disaster, filing a tax return … can be a secondary task compared to rebuilding (a life).”

The extension is available to individuals, businesses, and tax-exempt organizations. The IRS automatically grants extensions and waivers to any taxpayer with an IRS registered address located in a disaster area. But Tulino said taxpayers should file by the October deadline if they can.

“For example, if you know you’re owed a refund, the way to get that refund is to file a tax return,” Tulino said. “If you are ready to apply, you have all the documents and you want a refund, choose direct deposit with an electronic file in return – in other words, paperless – and a refund (should be received) in three weeks. or less for most of them.”

Tulino also recommends that you double check your taxes to make sure there are no errors, as this can delay processing.
