- Special tax law provisions may help taxpayers and businesses recover financially from the impact of a disaster, especially when the federal government declares their location to be a major disaster area. Depending on the circumstances, the IRS may grant additional time to file returns and pay taxes. Both individuals and businesses in a federally declared disaster area can get a faster refund by claiming losses related to the disaster on the tax return for the previous year, usually by filing an amended return.
– Claim a Casualty Loss – losses not covered by insurance or other reimbursements
– If your loss occurred in a federally declared disaster area, you can either claim it on this year’s tax return or last year’s tax return.
-Free tax help at many of the IRS offices and at temporary FEMA disaster recovery centers
