					<p>On August 28, 2017, the IRS announced <a href="https://www.irs.gov/uac/newsroom/irs-gives-tax-relief-to-victims-of-hurricane-harvey-parts-of-texas-now-eligible-extension-filers-have-until-jan-31-to-file" target="_blank">extended tax relief for counties in Texas</a> affected by Hurricane Harvey. Businesses and taxpayers in designated counties with tax filing and payment deadlines on or after August 23, 2017, now have until January 31, 2018, to complete payments and file returns.</p>
<p>The IRS is waiving late deposit penalties for businesses with federal payroll and excise tax deposits normally due on or before August 23, 2017, and before September 7, 2017, so long as all deposits are made by the September 7 deadline. Additionally, quarterly estimated tax payments scheduled for September 15, 2017, and January 16, 2018, as well as quarterly payroll and excise taxes due October 31, 2017, are among the tax deadlines extended to January 31, 2018, by the IRS. <a href="https://www.irs.gov/uac/tax-relief-in-disaster-situations" target="_blank">The Disaster Relief page on the IRS website</a> includes complete details on all available tax relief due to Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>Eligible individual filers in affected counties who previously received a tax-filing extension of October 31, 2017, now have until January 31, 2018, to file returns and pay any applicable taxes.</p>
<p>At this time, individuals and businesses in the following 18 Texas counties designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are eligible for relief: Aransas, Bee, Brazoria, Calhoun, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Goliad, Jackson, Harris, Kleberg, Liberty, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, Victoria and Wharton. Additional counties and states are expected to be added to the list as the storm continues to move across the area and will be included in the relief effort by the IRS as they are added to the list on <a href="https://www.fema.gov/" target="_blank">FEMA.gov</a>.</p>
<p>Taxpayers whose addresses fall within the designated areas do not need to contact the IRS as they will automatically be included in the relief program. Taxpayers with addresses outside the designated counties whose necessary records for filing are located within the relief area can contact the IRS at (866) 562-5227 for assistance.</p>
<p>Visit the <a href="https://www.irs.gov/uac/tax-relief-in-disaster-situations" target="_blank">Disaster Relief</a> page on the IRS website for complete details on all available tax relief due to Hurricane Harvey.
