The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced federal tax relief for individuals and businesses affected by Hurricane Isaias, including those in Baldwin County and numerous other Alabama counties.

Eligible taxpayers now have until February 4, 2027, to file certain federal tax returns and make tax payments originally due between October 7, 2026, and February 4, 2027.

The relief includes:

• Extended filing deadlines for eligible individual and business tax returns, including certain quarterly payroll and excise tax returns.
• Penalty relief for certain payroll and excise tax deposits made by October 22, 2026.
• Automatic extensions for qualifying taxpayers located in designated disaster areas, with no additional application required.
• Additional assistance related to disaster losses, replacement tax records, and certain retirement plan withdrawals.

Taxpayers with existing IRS installment agreements may also qualify for payment flexibility, although interest and certain penalties may continue to accrue.

The IRS encourages affected individuals and businesses to review the official announcement for complete eligibility requirements, applicable deadlines, and available assistance.
