Friday, September 02, 2011 Update on Hurricane Irene ReliefNassau County was added yesterday to the list of federally declared disaster areas resulting from Hurricane Irene. As such, the filing deadline extensions discussed yesterday will apply to Nassau County individuals and businesses. Suffolk County is still waiting for word on whether it too will be declared a disaster area (for those of us that live there I think it is fairly obvious what should happen).
In addition, the IRS announced that taxpayers whose preparers were located in an area under an evacuation order or a sever weather warning area because of Hurricane Irene are given an extension until August 22, 2011 to file any return normally due on September 15, 2011, even if the preparer is located outside the federally declared disaster areas. This extension applies to filing, only, and not to payment.
Stay tuned for more updates.
