The IRS recently expanded and extended disaster tax relief for taxpayers impacted by the severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides affecting Washington State.
Eligible individuals and businesses in FEMA-designated counties — including King County and additional counties added as disaster declarations expanded — generally now have until August 5, 2026, to file qualifying federal tax returns and make tax payments.
The relief may apply to:
- Individual and business tax returns
- Quarterly payroll and excise tax filings
- Estimated tax payments
- Other time-sensitive federal tax deadlines
The IRS automatically applies relief based on your address of record if you are located within a covered disaster area.
If you have questions about whether this extension applies to you or would like assistance with tax planning, estimated payments, or filing deadlines, please contact our office.
