States With Extended Tax Filing Dates: 2026

If you were affected by a federally declared natural disaster, the IRS may have extended your tax deadlines and provided additional relief to ease your financial burden.

Key takeaways

• Disaster relief can extend your tax filing deadline and other items like payment due dates, as well as IRA and HSA contribution deadlines.
• Multiple states currently have active extensions, with some federal deadlines stretching well into 2026 and state deadlines extending as far as February 2027.
• TurboTax will automatically flag any disaster relief that applies to your specific tax situation.

Why the IRS allows state-wide deadline extensions

When there’s a federally declared natural disaster (like a hurricane, wildfire, or flooding) the IRS has the authority to issue area-specific tax deadline extensions for people in the affected areas.

When these disasters are declared, the IRS releases additional details of the areas affected, such as specific counties, as well as corresponding relief notices for those affected. 

The relief can go further than just your tax filing deadline. Depending on the disaster, it may also cover things like estimated tax payments, IRA and HSA contributions, and penalty relief. 

The IRS tax relief and disaster situations page is the most current resource to find out which areas qualify for relief. The IRS page also provides other useful information like links to forms, informational resources, and answers to common questions.

What to do if you qualify

File your taxes early when possible. While disaster relief extends filing deadlines, submitting your taxes early may be beneficial if you’re eligible for a refund. This can provide crucial financial support sooner during the recovery process.

Taxpayers with multiple homes or who have temporarily relocated should take care to use their most current address when filing their return.
