WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced today tax relief for individuals and businesses in parts of Washington state affected by wildfires that began on Aug. 18, 2023.
These taxpayers now have until June 17, 2024, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments.
The IRS is offering relief to any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Currently, this includes Spokane County. Individuals and households that reside or have a business in this locality qualify for tax relief.
The same relief will be available to any other Washington state localities added later to the disaster area. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.
