Soggy San Diego Gets a Little Sunshine From the IRS: A Tax-Filing Extension

Taxpayers in a disaster area automatically qualify and don’t need to contact the IRS to get the relief, the agency said.

The IRS had some good news for San Diego County residents battered by winter storms: Their tax-filing deadline has been extended to June 17.

The new deadlines are a break for “individuals and businesses in parts of California affected by severe storms and flooding that began Jan. 21,” the Internal Revenue Service said on its website.
