The IRS has announced a tax relief package for taxpayers in Louisiana who are affected by the intrusion of a mass of seawater from the Gulf of Mexico that has been steadily forcing its way up the Mississippi River and threatening drinking water.

The IRS announced on Sept. 29 that it’s introducing tax relief measures for people and businesses affected by seawater intrusion in parts of Louisiana where the Federal Emergency Management Agency declared a disaster.
