Hurricane Milton Relief: Florida Now Has Until May 1, 2025 to File

With much of the state of Florida declared a federal disaster area, the IRS this morning announced that all residents of Florida have until May 1, 2025 to file their tax returns that are on extension. This impacts not only 2023 tax returns on extension, but the 2024 filing deadline next April.  Do note that interest and the late payment penalty continue for 2023 tax returns (because payments were due on April 15, 2024).  This extension also means that estimated payments due in January don’t need to be made until May 1, 2025 for Floridians.
