IRS extends tax relief deadlines for California wildfire victims

The IRS has announced tax relief for individuals and businesses affected by recent wildfires in California. This relief aims to assist those in Los Angeles who lost homes and businesses due to the fires. The deadline for filing federal tax forms and payments has been extended to October 15, 2025, for those in the disaster areas. This extension follows a disaster declaration by FEMA. Taxpayers in the impacted regions will automatically receive relief. Those with records in the disaster area but living elsewhere can also seek assistance. Uninsured losses can be claimed on 2024 or 2025 tax returns.
