Bill > HR3574

This bill, the Filing Relief for Natural Disasters Act, amends the Internal Revenue Code to modify the rules for postponing certain tax deadlines in the event of a disaster. The key provisions are: 1. It allows the Governor of a state (or the Mayor of Washington, D.C.) to request the postponement of federal tax deadlines for state-declared emergencies or disasters, in the same way that this is done for federally declared disasters. 2. It extends the mandatory deadline extension period from 60 days to 120 days for individuals and businesses affected by a disaster. The purpose of these changes is to provide more flexibility and relief for taxpayers who may be impacted by natural disasters at the state level, in addition to federally declared disasters.
