The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reminded taxpayers who received an extension to file their 2022 returns to do so within the next few weeks.

Taxpayers from disaster-affected regions who received such extensions must file their returns by the Feb. 15 deadline, the agency said in a Jan. 31 press release. “Eligible taxpayers were those affected by various disasters that occurred between Aug. 8 and Oct. 9, 2023. This included Hurricane Idalia, Hurricane Lee, Tropical Storm Bolaven, the wildfires in Hawaii, the seawater intrusion in Louisiana, and storms and flooding in Illinois.”
