The IRS granted extensions to taxpayers in seven states to file their taxes this year because of federal disaster declarations. Filers in parts of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi have until July 31 to submit forms and payments because of severe storm and tornado damage.
The Earth’s warming climate is altering everything from animal migration patterns to when plants bloom. It’s also changing when Americans file taxes: As severe storms and natural disasters worsened by climate change afflict broader swaths of the country, the IRS is issuing more extensions for individuals and businesses to cope with the fallout sooner and pay taxes later.
“I think about that every time a tornado rips through Mississippi when it shouldn’t,” said Caroline Bruckner, managing director of American University’s Kogod Tax Policy Center.
Since 2021, the IRS has postponed the April tax deadline for parts of 15 states with federally declared “major disaster areas.” It has granted relief for other tax due dates — including for quarterly tax — to parts of 27 states in the same period.
That means for millions of Americans, tax season is getting longer, and the country’s national tradition of a rush to the mailbox, or tax-filing software, is changing by the year.

I just woke up and already I’ve hit peak idiocy for the day.
My son told me that Californians have until October to file. I hope he’s right. He’s not doing it now.
It is nuts. I’ll admit I am glad we got a federal extension. Im going to the post office to drop my mailed ready to go check today.
Never expect peak idiocy when living in clown world. They just developer bigger and better clowns and idiots on double time.

Your son is correct Ca. Has until Oct. because of all the storms this winter!!
Climate change makes me fart. It’s Science.
Good old uncle sham. Spit,., expletive!
Kinda funny. We had some nasty storms this winter too. We just have another day to file ours. Guess Indiana didn’t declare a state of emergency.
It should apply to all states since Biden is such a disaster.
Is there anything “climate change” can’t do?
Lying Democrat scum.
Good. Most last filed returns are that late because taxpayers, a declining lot, owe money. So the gov will receive less revenue than expected moving the default closer.
Can it teach an old dog a new trick? Can it lead a horse to water and make him drink?
