Additional Hurricane Ida relief from IRS on Cook & Co. News

New Post has been published on https://cookco.us/news/additional-hurricane-ida-relief-from-irs/

Additional Hurricane Ida relief from IRS

Sept. 15, Oct. 15 deadlines, other dates further extended to Jan. 3 for parts of Mississippi; Nov. 1 deadline still applies to the rest of the state.

Victims of Hurricane Ida in parts of Mississippi now have additional time–until Jan. 3, 2022–to file various individual and business tax returns and make tax payments, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.

Following last week’s disaster declaration by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the IRS is offering this expanded relief to those parts of the state newly designated for either individual or public assistance. Previously, the IRS had provided special relief to the entire state of Mississippi, generally postponing various tax-filing and tax-payment deadlines until Nov. 1, 2021.

Currently, the expanded relief applies to Amite, Claiborne, Copiah, Covington, Franklin, Georgia, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lawrence, Lincoln, Pearl River, Pike, Simpson, Walthall, Wayne and Wilkinson counties. Any jurisdiction added to the Oct. 22 FEMA declaration will automatically receive the expanded IRS relief.

The deadline remains Nov. 1 for affected taxpayers in other parts of Mississippi. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.

The new relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred starting on Aug. 28, 2021. As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until Jan. 3, 2022, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period. This means individuals who had a valid extension to file their 2020 return that ran out on Oct. 15, 2021, will now have until Jan. 3, 2022, to file. The IRS noted, however, that because tax payments related to these 2020 returns were due on May 17, 2021, those payments are not eligible for this relief.

The Jan. 3, 2022 deadline also applies to quarterly estimated income tax payments due on Sept. 15, 2021, and the quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on Nov. 1, 2021. Businesses with an original or extended due date also have the additional time including, among others, calendar-year partnerships and S corporations whose 2020 extensions ran out on Sept. 15, 2021 and calendar-year corporations whose 2020 extensions ran out on Oct. 15, 2021. It also applies to calendar-year tax-exempt organizations whose 2020 extensions run out on Nov. 15, 2021.

In addition, penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after Aug. 28, 2021 and before Sept. 13, will be abated as long as the deposits were made by Sept. 13, 2021.

The IRS disaster relief page has details on other returns, payments and tax-related actions qualifying for the additional time.

The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. Therefore, taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief. However, if an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date falling within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

In addition, the IRS will work with any taxpayer who lives outside the disaster area but whose records necessary to meet a deadline occurring during the postponement period are located in the affected area. Taxpayers qualifying for relief who live outside the disaster area need to contact the IRS at 866-562-5227. This also includes workers assisting the relief activities who are affiliated with a recognized government or philanthropic organization.

Individuals and businesses in a federally declared disaster area who suffered uninsured or unreimbursed disaster-related losses can choose to claim them on either the return for the year the loss occurred (in this instance, the 2021 return normally filed next year), or the return for the prior year (2020). Be sure to write the FEMA declaration number – EM-3569 associated with the earlier relief or EM-4626 for the new relief−on any return claiming a loss. See Publication 547 for details.

The tax relief is part of a coordinated federal response to the damage caused by Hurricane Ida and is based on local damage assessments by FEMA. For information on disaster recovery, visit disasterassistance.gov.

IRS gives all Louisiana taxpayers Hurricane Ida tax relief

Damage in the Galliano, Louisiana, area from Hurricane Ida as seen by U.S. Coast Guard overflight on Aug. 30. (Photo courtesy U.S.C.G./VIRIN: 210830-G-G0108-1006M)

Hurricane Ida went from Tropical Depression 9 to a category 4 hurricane that slammed coastal Louisiana on Aug. 29 in just about three days.

The Internal Revenue Service has reacted just as quickly.

Today, the IRS announced that its offering tax relief to Ida victims. That includes pushing the Oct. 15 extended filing deadline (and other tax dates) to Jan. 3, 2022.

The tax relief applies to any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as qualifying for individual or public assistance due to damages from Hurricane Ida. Right now, that's the entire state of Louisiana.

However, adds the IRS, taxpayers in Ida-impacted localities in neighboring states that FEMA ultimately designates as major disaster areas also will qualify for the same tax relief.

You can check out FEMA's Ida declaration and subsequent updates at its website. The IRS also maintains a running list of storm-struck localities eligible for tax relief at its special disaster relief page.

More time to file 2020 taxes: The immediate tax relief is postponement of various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred starting on Aug. 26, when Ida formed.

Affected individuals and businesses now have until Jan. 3, 2022, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period.

For individual taxpayers who had filed for an extension to complete their 2020 returns, this means that instead of getting their Form 1040s etc. to the IRS by Oct. 15, they have until the new January due date.

If, however, you didn't pay all the tax due with that return when you got your extension, you still need to get that money to the IRS as soon as you can. Since payment of any due 2020 tax was required by this year's May 17 filing deadline, even if you applied for an extension, those unpaid taxes are not eligible for Hurricane Ida tax relief. Penalty and interest charges on unpaid tax bills are still accruing.

Extended estimated tax payments: The Jan. 3, 2022, deadline also applies to the quarterly estimated income tax payment normally due on Sept. 15.

Filers who must make these tax payments on earnings that aren't subject to withholding now have until the early January due date to make this third 1040-ES payment.

Businesses also get more time: As for businesses, the IRS says quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on Nov. 1 also are postponed. The delay also applies to tax-exempt organizations, operating on a calendar-year basis, that had a valid extension due to run out on Nov. 15.

Businesses with extensions also have the additional time including, among others, calendar-year corporations whose 2020 extensions run out on Oct. 15.

In addition, the IRS will abate penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after Aug. 26 and before Sept. 10 as long as the deposits are made by September 10, 2021.

Automatic deadline applied: Louisianans don't need to do anything to get the added tax filing time. The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area — which right now is all of the Pelican State — and applies the disaster-related filing and payment relief.

However, if you reside or have a business outside Louisiana, but have records necessary to meet a tax deadline in the state, you also might qualify for more time to complete those tasks.

In these cases, call the IRS' toll-free disaster hotline at (866) 562-5227 to discuss your circumstances and request the same relief.

The tax relief also covers workers who are assisting with relief activities conducted by a recognized government or philanthropic organization.

Let IRS know about notices: Also, since many of the IRS operations are automated, it's possible that taxpayers in the Ida disaster area might get late-filing or late-payment penalty notices even though they've now been given more time to file and pay.

If that happens, call the telephone number on the notice to have the IRS abate the penalty.

Timing of disaster claims: Finally, the Ida disaster relief, as with all major disaster declarations, gives affected taxpayers the option to decide when to claim any uninsured losses as an itemized tax deduction.

You can claim the losses in the year they happened, meaning you'll do so when you file your 2021 return next year. Or you can claim them on your prior year return.

Of course, you'll have to run the tax numbers for both years to see which provides the better tax result.

One of the main reasons to claim losses on a prior-year return is that it generally means you get the tax relief in the form of a refund sooner. Having that tax money in hand now could help with repairs and other recovery efforts.

Affected Louisiana filers who got extensions to file their 2020 returns can make the claim on that year's 1040 Schedule A when they do file it, now by Jan. 3. Individuals who already submitted their 2020 returns, but want to claim Ida's losses on that return will have to file an amended tax return.

You'll also have to include a completed Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts. You can read more about this process in my recent post on considerations in making a major disaster tax claim.

Whether you're just filing your 2020 taxes or sending in a Form 1040-X this year, be sure to write the FEMA declaration number – DR-4611-LA – on the form. That will alert the IRS that it should expedite the processing of the return.

Bookkeeping Software Can Simplify Your Small Business Taxes

The extension of Tax Day 2021 to May 17 may be a big sigh of relief for many taxpayers, but it’s not likely to affect your small business’s 2021 tax preparation and payment obligations. There’s a big difference between what an individual taxpayer or employee has to file and the complex bookkeeping operations necessary for your small business to properly file and pay its taxes on time.  

The COVID-19 pandemic compelled the government to create many new benefit programs for small businesses, most notably the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that could be forgiven. But some of last year’s relief measures could present tricky tax challenges when you prepare your taxes, and online bookkeeping can solve many of your tax preparation questions.

Tax time is all year long for your small business—you have to track revenue and costs for your taxes year-round. Let’s look at the types of taxes you need to pay, when you need to pay them, and how to get effective and affordable tax preparation help. Because this year, more than ever, you can’t afford to incur too large a burden or to miss any possible tax breaks.

What Types of Business Taxes Do I Need To Pay?

Every business pays income tax. But different types of taxes will constitute how your business calculates that income tax, depending on how your small business is structured. You may run a small business with employees, you may be self-employed, or you may operate a limited liability corporation (LLC) or some other form of corporation.

Your income taxes will be a combination of your business’s estimated taxes, employment taxes or self-employment taxes, and other types of taxes that could apply to your small business. 

Most small business owners are required to pay their own personal estimated tax, not that of their business. Self-employed business people, sole proprietors, and 1099 workers also pay estimated taxes, as do corporations.

The IRS has a webpage describing what types of taxes small businesses pay. Here’s what you’re required to pay, depending on your business’s legal classification.

Self-Employed and Sole Proprietors:

Estimated Tax

Self-Employment Tax

Small Businesses with Employees:

Estimated Tax

Employment Tax

Excise Tax*

LLCs, Corporations, C-Corps, and S-Corps

Estimated Tax

Employment Tax

Excise Tax*

*Certain specific types of businesses have to pay excise tax on distinct types of goods and services like gasoline, coal, or wagering. The IRS has a list of what types of businesses owe excise taxes and which forms they need to complete.

We’ve got tax preparation resources for whatever type of small business you have. Check out our tax tips for sole proprietors and guide to lowering your self-employment taxes. We also have a tax guide for LLCs and corporations.

When Do Businesses Need to File or Pay Their Taxes

Many small businesses are required to pay some of these taxes quarterly—that is, on 4 tax deadlines spread out over the course of a calendar year. Other taxes are filed quarterly as well as being paid quarterly. The due date and filing deadlines on these taxes of taxes depend on the type of tax, and these dates are listed below.

Estimated Taxes – If you’re a sole proprietor, self-employed, or a small business with employees, you only file your income taxes once a year. But you have to pay estimated taxes 4 times a year. Here are your quarterly estimated tax due dates, and none of these are affected by the May 17 Tax Day delay:

April 15, 2021

June 15, 2021

September 15, 2021

January 15, 2022

If your business is a corporation, these due dates depend on when you begin and end your fiscal year. Your quarterly estimated taxes will be due on the 15th of the month on the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th month after your corporation’s fiscal year ends.

Employment Taxes: If your business has employees, you must file and pay employment taxes on a quarterly basis. These are your quarterly employment tax deadlines for 2021.

April 30, 2021

July 31, 2021

October 31, 2021

January 31, 2022

This sounds like (and is) a lot of work. But we have tools to automatically calculate your estimated taxes to help you easily pay these taxes on time.

State Taxes on Small Business

There is also the inconvenient matter of your state taxes, which you owe on top of your federal taxes. States differ broadly on what types of taxes they charge their small businesses. Depending on your state, these could include sales taxes, property taxes, or other various forms of state taxes.

We cannot fully explain all required state taxes for all 50 states in the US, but we can direct you to this IRS list of state tax laws for all 50 states that will provide the link you need to help determine that state taxes for the state where your small business is located.

Victims of this month’s winter storms in Texas will have until June 15, 2021, to file various individual and business tax returns and make tax payments, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.

Following The recent disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the IRS is providing this relief to the entire state of Texas. But taxpayers in other states impacted by these winter storms that receive similar FEMA disaster declarations will automatically receive the same filing and payment relief. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.

The tax relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred starting on Feb. 11. As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until June 15, 2021, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period. This includes 2020 individual and business returns normally due on April 15, as well as various 2020 business returns due on March 15. Among other things, this also means that affected taxpayers will have until June 15 to make 2020 IRA contributions.

The June 15 deadline also applies to quarterly estimated income tax payments due on April 15 and the quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on April 30. It also applies to tax-exempt organizations, operating on a calendar-year basis, that have a 2020 return due on May 17.

In addition, penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after Feb. 11 and before Feb. 26 will be abated as long as the deposits are made by Feb. 26.

The IRS disaster relief page has details on other returns, payments and tax-related actions qualifying for the additional time.

The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. Therefore, taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief. However, if an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date falling within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

In addition, the IRS will work with any taxpayer who lives outside the disaster area but whose records necessary to meet a deadline occurring during the postponement period are located in the affected area. Taxpayers qualifying for relief who live outside the disaster area need to contact the IRS at 866-562-5227. This also includes workers assisting the relief activities who are affiliated with a recognized government or philanthropic organization.

Individuals and businesses in a federally declared disaster area who suffered uninsured or unreimbursed disaster-related losses can choose to claim them on either the return for the year the loss occurred (in this instance, the 2021 return normally filed next year), or the return for the prior year. This means that taxpayers can, if they choose, claim these losses on the 2020 return they are filling out this tax season. Be sure to write the FEMA declaration number – 4586 − on any return claiming a loss. See Publication 547 for details.

The tax relief is part of a coordinated federal response to the damage caused by these storms and is based on local damage assessments by FEMA. For information on disaster recovery, visit disasterassistance.gov.

Alabama tornado victims' tax deadline now July 31

Lee County, Alabama, March 3 tornado damage. (Photo: Nicholas Baretto via Twitter)

As expected, once the White House declared parts of Alabama a major disaster area, the Internal Revenue Service followed up by offering affected residents a variety of tax relief.

Victims of the deadly tornadoes and severe storms that raked areas of the Yellowhammer State now have until July 31 to file some individual and business tax returns and make certain tax payments.

"With the regular deadline just a few weeks away, we want storm victims to focus on their families and recovering, rather than worrying about the tax deadline," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig in announcing the tax relief.

Lee County only, for now: In Alabama's case, the tax relief for now applies only to individuals and business in Lee County.

However, as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) continues its evaluation of the storm-struck areas, other Alabama localities, as well as damaged areas in neighboring states — parts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina also were in the line of fire of the March 3 severe storm system — could be added to the disaster area declaration.

If that happens, folks in those areas will automatically receive the same filing and payment relief.

If you are in one of those potential relief areas, you can periodically check the FEMA's account on DisasterAssistance.gov, as well as the IRS' online disaster relief page.

You also can bookmark this post. I'll update it as additional areas are added to the FEMA/IRS disaster lists.

Available individual tax help: The postponed July 31 tax deadline for eligible tornado victims applies to various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred starting on March 3.

The biggie, as Rettig noted, is the annual tax return filing due date.

Qualifying taxpayer now have three and a half more months to file their individual income tax returns and make any associated payments.

The July 31 deadline also applies to:

Quarterly estimated income tax payments normally due on April 15 and June 17,

Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on April 30 and

Form 990 information returns that tax-exempt organizations operating on a calendar-year basis must file by due May 15

Eligible taxpayers will also have until July 31 to make contributions for the 2018 tax year to their individual retirement accounts.

That's why this week's By the Numbers honor goes to July 31.

Business relief, too: Businesses, including corporations, S corporations and partnerships, that have a 2018 return due during this period also get extra filing and payment time.  

These business tax responsibilities are pushed to July 31, too.

In addition, the IRS says that penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after March 3 and before March 18 will be abated as long as the deposits are made by March 18.

IRS disaster help automatic: There's no need to file any extra paperwork if you qualify for the tornado-related relief.

The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area.

However, if you are an affected taxpayer and get a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date falling within the postponement period, call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

Outside disaster area, but eligible: As in prior disaster tax situations, the IRS will work with any taxpayer who lives outside the disaster area, but whose records necessary to meet a deadline occurring during the postponement period are located in the affected area.

In these cases, taxpayers qualifying for relief should call the IRS toll-free at 1-866-562-5227.

This disaster consideration also includes workers assisting the relief activities as long as that help is provided through a recognized government or philanthropic organization.

Finally, remember that with the official major disaster declaration, affected taxpayers — currently those folks in Alabama and possibly in the coming days in other areas — now can claim their losses on their taxes.

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) changes, only major disasters qualify as possible itemized casualty claims for uninsured or unreimbursed disaster-related losses on Schedule A.

The prior-law disaster rules remain the same, including the option to claim the losses on either the return for the year the loss occurred (in this instance, the 2019 return normally filed next year), or the return for the prior year (2018).

My earlier post, How to get tax help for your natural disaster losses, has more on the tax claim process.

If you've already filed your 2018 taxes, but find it would be worthwhile to claim your losses in that tax year, you do so by filing an amended return. In these amended filing cases, include the disaster declaration number, FEMA 4419, on any return.

Hurricane Ida Tax Relief on Cook & Co. News

New Post has been published on https://cookco.us/news/hurricane-ida-tax-relief/

Hurricane Ida Tax Relief

Tax relief now available to victims of Hurricane Ida; Oct. 15 deadline, other dates extended to Jan. 3

Victims of Hurricane Ida that began on Aug. 26 now have until Jan. 3, 2022, to file various individual and business tax returns and make tax payments, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.

The IRS is offering this relief to any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as qualifying for individual or public assistance. Currently this includes the entire state of Louisiana, but taxpayers in Ida-impacted localities designated by FEMA in neighboring states will automatically receive the same filing and payment relief. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.

“During this difficult time, the IRS stands ready to help victims of Hurricane Ida,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “We want people affected by this devastating hurricane focused on their safety and recovery for themselves and their families. To provide assistance now and in the weeks ahead, we have a variety of different types of relief available to help people and businesses affected by this disaster.”

The tax relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred starting on Aug. 26, 2021. As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until Jan. 3, 2022, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period. This means individuals who had a valid extension to file their 2020 return due to run out on Oct. 15, 2021, will now have until Jan. 3, 2022, to file. The IRS noted, however, that because tax payments related to these 2020 returns were due on May 17, 2021, those payments are not eligible for this relief.

The Jan. 3, 2022 deadline also applies to quarterly estimated income tax payments due on Sept. 15, 2021, and the quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on Nov. 1, 2021. It also applies to tax-exempt organizations, operating on a calendar-year basis, that had a valid extension due to run out on Nov. 15, 2021. Businesses with extensions also have the additional time including, among others, calendar-year corporations whose 2020 extensions run out on Oct. 15, 2021.    

In addition, penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after Aug. 26 and before Sept. 10, will be abated as long as the deposits are made by Sept. 10, 2021.

The IRS disaster relief page has details on other returns, payments and tax-related actions qualifying for the additional time.

The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. Therefore, taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief. However, if an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date falling within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

In addition, the IRS will work with any taxpayer who lives outside the disaster area but whose records necessary to meet a deadline occurring during the postponement period are located in the affected area. Taxpayers qualifying for relief who live outside the disaster area need to contact the IRS at 866-562-5227. This also includes workers assisting the relief activities who are affiliated with a recognized government or philanthropic organization.

Individuals and businesses in a federally declared disaster area who suffered uninsured or unreimbursed disaster-related losses can choose to claim them on either the return for the year the loss occurred (in this instance, the 2021 return normally filed next year), or the return for the prior year (2020). Be sure to write the FEMA declaration number – 4611 − for Hurricane Ida in Louisiana on any return claiming a loss. See Publication 547 for details.

The tax relief is part of a coordinated federal response to the damage caused by Hurricane Ida and is based on local damage assessments by FEMA. For information on disaster recovery, visit disasterassistance.gov.

Nov. 1 is new tax deadline for some storm-struck Michiganders

One of the severe storms that hit Michigan on June 26. In the wake of a major disaster declaration, the IRS is giving some of the state's taxpayers until Nov. 1 to take care of tax tasks. (Photo by Ben Kessler via the National Weather Service)

The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season got off to an early start. Since then, though, it's been a slow tropical season. Thank you, Saharan dust (and Deb Fox)!

However, other major natural disasters have made up for it.

So far in 21, there have been 14 instances of tax relief provided by the Internal Revenue Service due to federal disaster declarations. That's a bit ahead of last year, which by the end of July 2020 had recorded 10 such devastating circumstances.

The latest IRS decision to provide taxpayer relief because of a major Mother Nature snit affects some Michigan taxpayers.

The IRS has announced that Great Lakes State individual and business taxpayers who suffered through severe storms, flooding, and tornadoes that began on June 25 now have until Nov. 1 to file various returns and make payments.

The affected counties, per the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), are Washtenaw and Wayne Counties in the southeastern part of the state.

Here's a quick look at this storm-related relief for these Michigan filers.

Returns, payments and estimated taxes: The extension means that Michigan individuals who had a valid extension until Oct. 15 to file their 2020 tax returns now have until Nov. 1 to finish that document.

However, since any tax payments associated with the extended 2020 returns were due on May 17, the COVID-delayed 2021 deadline, any additional tax due with the final, extended filing will have penalty and interest charges tacked on.

The new Nov. 1 deadline also applies to the quarterly estimated tax payment due on Sept. 15.

As for businesses, the delay applies to quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on Aug. 2. The IRS says that penalties on deposits due on or after June 25, 2021, and before July 12, 2021, will be abated as long as the tax deposits were made by July 12.

And for businesses that face the Aug. 31 deadline to file their Tax Year 2021 Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, for vehicles also now have until Nov. 1 to do that.

Contact IRS about penalty notices: Because, well, IRS and taxes, it's possible that taxpayers who live or own a company in Washtenaw or Wayne Counties could get a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS even though they now have added time to take care of tax tasks.

In these cases, if the notice is for a tax obligation that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date that falls within the postponement period, then call the telephone number on the notice to have the IRS abate the penalty.

You can get additional information on services currently available at the IRS operations and services page at IRS.gov/coronavirus.

IRS automatically applies new deadline: Also, Michiganders who live or have a business in the storm-relief counties don't need to do anything to get the November deadline. The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies filing and payment relief.

However, if you reside or have a business outside the covered disaster area and believe you, too, should get more tax time, call the IRS' toll-free disaster hotline at (866) 562-5227 to discuss your circumstances and request the same relief.

Claiming losses this tax year or next: Finally, the disaster relief also includes the option to decide when to claim any uninsured losses on your taxes.

You can do so for the prior year. In this case, that would be the 2020 returns from filers who got extensions and now don't have to get the paperwork to the IRS until Nov. 1. Some Michigan storm victims could find that claiming this year's damages on their 2020 taxes could produce a quicker and larger refund that could help with repairs and other recovery efforts.

Or you can wait to claim any allowable losses when you file your 2021 tax return next year.

Run the numbers for both tax years and choose the filing date that gives you the best result. Remember, too, that you must itemize to claim the personal property losses from a major disaster that aren't covered by insurance or other reimbursements.

That means filing Form 1040 Schedule A, along with Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts. You can read more about this process in my post on considerations in making a major disaster tax claim.

The IRS asks taxpayers making the loss claims on their 2020 return to note that at the top of their Form 1040. Add the phrase "Michigan Severe Storms, Flooding, and Tornadoes" in bold letters at the top of the form.

If you need to get prior tax info to complete your disaster-related filing, the IRS will waive its usual fees for such copies. To get the fee break, use the same Michigan disaster phrase on the Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return, or Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, that you submit to the IRS for the data.

And whatever tax year you choose to claim your disaster losses, the IRS also requests you include the FEMA disaster declaration number on your return. For the Michigan situation, that's FEMA 4607-DR.

Victims of 2018 California Wildfires Granted Tax Relief

In the aftermath of recent destruction caused by the California wildfires, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that individuals and businesses in Butte, Los Angeles and Ventura counties may qualify for tax relief.

An emergency declaration made by the President permits the IRS to postpone certain deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. For instance, certain deadlines falling on or after November 8, 2018 and before April 30, 2019, will be granted additional time to file through April 30, 2019. This includes 2018 individual income tax returns and payments normally due on April 15, 2019.

It also includes the quarterly estimated income tax payments due on January 15, 2019 and April 15, 2019 and the quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on January 31, 2019. Tax-exempt organizations that operate on a calendar-year basis and had an automatic extension due to run out on November 15, 2018 may also qualify for relief.

Penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after November 8, 2018, and before Nov. 23, 2018, will be abated as long as the deposits are made by November 23, 2018. If an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date that falls within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the telephone number on the notice to have the IRS abate the penalty.

The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies automatic filing and payment relief. But affected taxpayers who reside or have a business located outside the covered disaster area must call the IRS disaster hotline at (866) 562-5227 to request this tax relief.

Casualty Losses

Affected taxpayers in a federally declared disaster area have the option of claiming disaster-related casualty losses on their federal income tax return for either the year in which the event occurred, or the prior year. Individuals may deduct personal property losses that are not covered by insurance or other reimbursements.

Affected taxpayers claiming the disaster loss on a 2018 return should put the Disaster Designation, “California, Wildfires” at the top of the form so that the IRS can expedite the processing of the refund.

Other Relief

The IRS will waive the usual fees and expedite requests for copies of previously filed tax returns for affected taxpayers. Taxpayers should put the assigned Disaster Designation “California, Wildfires” in red ink at the top of Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return, or Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, as appropriate, and submit it to the IRS.

Affected taxpayers who are contacted by the IRS on a collection or examination matter should explain how the disaster impacts them so that the IRS can provide appropriate consideration to their case. Taxpayers may download forms and publications from the official IRS website, irs.gov, or call (800) 829-3676 to request a hard copy.

If you or someone you know is was affected by the recent California wildfires and need assistance determining what relief may be available, please CONTACT US right away. We’re here to help!
