Mississippi residents affected by the severe weather from last weekend have been given a few extra months to file their taxes this year.
The delay will give individual residents and businesses affected by the recent storms until July 31 to file their tax returns and pay any taxes originally due on April 18. Counties that qualify for this delay include Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe, and Sharkey, with other counties eligible for this delay designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
The full list of areas in Mississippi that qualify for the delay is available on the IRS's Tax Relief in Disaster Situations page. Residents in other states have also been given extra time to file their taxes after being affected by severe weather. Disaster-stricken areas in California, Georgia, and Alabama have until Oct. 16 to file their taxes, the IRS announced last month.The tornadoes and other severe storms that tore through the state of Mississippi over Friday and Saturday left at least 26 people dead.
"Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster," The White House said in a statement.
