Hurricane Harvey Survivors Get Tax Extension

Feds state extend filing deadlines for 18 Texas counties

Adrees Latif/Reuters Taxpayers in areas affected by Hurricane Harvey will be given an extension to filing deadlines. As Texas begins to recover from Hurricane Harvey, some of the state’s residents and businesses will receive temporary tax relief. Texans in 18 counties affected by the storm will have until Jan. 31, 2018 to file federal personal and business tax returns that otherwise would be due between Aug. 23 and January 2018. Federal tax payments originally due starting last week — including the Sept. 15 and Jan. 16, 2018 deadlines for quarterly estimated tax payments — will also be pushed off until Jan. 31. And taxpayers who requested six-month filing extensions on their 2016 tax forms will now have until Jan. 31 to file instead of the original Oct. 16 date. Taxpayers in Aransas, Bee, Brazoria, Calhoun, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Goliad, Harris, Jackson, Kleberg, Liberty, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, Victoria and Wharton counties are eligible for the federal extensions. ”
