Tennessee Residents Granted Extended Tax Deadlines Following Severe Weather

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced extended tax filing and payment deadlines for Tennessee residents and businesses impacted by the severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding that commenced on April 2, 2025. This relief measure allows affected taxpayers until November 3, 2025, to submit returns and payments that were originally due between April 2 and November 3, 2025. The extension encompasses a wide range of tax obligations, including individual income tax returns, 2024 contributions to IRAs and health savings accounts (HSAs), and quarterly estimated tax payments, among others.

In alignment with federal efforts, the Tennessee Department of Revenue is providing similar extensions for state taxes, such as franchise and excise taxes. Taxpayers seeking state tax relief are advised to email [email protected] with necessary details, including their business name, account number, and a brief account of the storm's impact. This coordinated response aims to alleviate the financial burden on those affected by the natural disasters, ensuring they have ample time to meet their tax obligations without penalty.
