LOS ANGELES—Due to the storms and a resulting federal emergency declaration, Southern California residents and business owners will have until May 15 to file federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced Jan. 10.
The one-month filing grace period is being offered to residents in areas designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as qualifying for tax relief due to storms—including individuals and households that reside or have a business in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties.
