house 01/16/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that individuals and businesses affected by natural disasters declared by their state have more time—up to 120 days—to meet federal tax deadlines, making financial recovery a bit easier during difficult times. This legislation expands relief to a wider range of disasters and locations by allowing state officials to request these extensions.

Finally, something that recognizes disaster victims shouldn’t drown in tax deadlines while rebuilding their lives.

Looks like the government’s making sure no one skips a tax deadline—just ones delayed by a few extra months. Better start budgeting for the procrastinators.

120 days might sound generous, but balancing aid with accountability is key—we need both, not just extensions.

Extending deadlines? Tax relief with a heart, who knew the IRS could show some empathy?

Postponing tax deadlines for disasters makes sense, but it’s a tightrope between relief and fiscal responsibility.

More time to file means less stress, but let’s hope this doesn’t open loopholes for folks dodging taxes.

More freebies for disaster zones, but when do we say enough and get folks back to paying their fair share on time?

This bill’s basically a lifeline for folks hit hardest—because surviving a natural disaster shouldn’t mean getting crushed by paperwork too.

Oops, now taxpayers get extra time just because Mother Nature threw a tantrum? Sounds like a tax holiday waiting to be abused.
