2010 Tax Filing Deadlines Extended for Flood Victims Victims of severe storms, flooding, mudslides and landslides beginning March 12 in New Jersey may qualify for tax relief from the Internal Revenue Service and New Jersey Division of Taxation. The President has declared the following New Jersey counties federal disaster areas qualifying for individual assistance:
As a result of this designation, the IRS New Jersey Division of Taxation are postponing until May 11 certain deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. This includes the April 15 deadline for filing 2009 individual income tax returns, making income tax payments and making 2009 contributions to an individual retirement account (IRA). In addition, the IRS will waive the failure to deposit penalties for employment and excise deposits due on or after March 12 and on or before March 29, as long as the deposits were made by March 29. Similarly, Division of Taxation announced that taxpayers may be eligible for interest and penalty abatement on underpaid New Jersey taxs that would otherwise accrue for the period of the postponement. If an affected taxpayer receives a penalty notice from either taxing authority, the taxpayer should call the telephone number on the notice to have request an abatement of any interest and any late filing or late payment penalties that would otherwise apply. Penalties or interest will be abated only for taxpayers who have an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date, including an extended filing or payment due date, that falls within the postponement period.
