IRS reminder to disaster victims with extensions: File 2022 returns by Feb. 15; all or parts of 8 states and 2 territories affected

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today reminded disaster-area taxpayers who received extensions to file their 2022 returns that these returns are due on Feb. 15, 2024.

Eligible taxpayers were those affected by various disasters that occurred between Aug. 8 and Oct. 9, 2023. This included Hurricane Idalia, Hurricane Lee, Tropical Storm Bolaven, the wildfires in Hawaii, the seawater intrusion in Louisiana and storms and flooding in Illinois. For extension filers, payments on these returns were not eligible for the additional time because they were originally due last spring before any of these disasters occurred.

Locations that qualify for the Feb. 15 filing deadline:

• Forty-nine counties in Florida.
• Thirty-two counties In Georgia.
• All of Guam.
• Maui and Hawaii counties in Hawaii.
