IRS Expands Tax Relief for Hurricane Katrina Victims, Creates Toll-Free Number, and Waives Penalty on use of Dyed Diesel Fuel
The Internal Revenue Service has expanded relief for taxpayers in the Presidential Disaster Areas struck by Hurricane Katrina. The Internal Revenue Service has announced the establishment of a special toll-free telephone number for use by taxpayers affected by Hurricane Katrina. People affected by Katrina who need help with tax matters can call 1-866-562-5227. Beginning today, taxpayers can call the special number Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm local time. In response to shortages of clear diesel fuel caused by Hurricane Katrina, the IRS will not impose a tax penalty when dyed diesel fuel is sold for use or used on the highway.
When did any of the Denizens of NO we have seen on TV done anything but soak up taxe money???
Lesson: Do not depend on the Government to help you in times of need, and the veneer of civilization is very thin in places. Prepare for the worst.
