Americans from two dozen states and two territories who were granted filing extensions for their 2023 returns amid disasters have to submit them in the coming months, according to a reminder from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Those taxpayers include individuals and businesses affected by disasters that occurred from late spring to the end of 2024, the IRS said.
