Fleming: Tax Relief for Flood Victims
Statement
Issues: Taxes
Congressman John Fleming, M.D. released the following statement after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that individuals who live or own a business in over one-third of Louisiana's parishes may qualify for tax relief.
"Many people in Louisiana have lost papers critical to filing their taxes and are worried about meeting the April 18 deadline. The IRS has recently announced that taxpayers that live or own a business within certain parishes automatically qualify for a tax filing extension. Deadlines that fell on or after March 8 have been postponed to July 15, 2016. And those that suffered damage but live outside the area may call the IRS hotline to request an extension."
