States with IRS extended tax deadline due to natural disasters

The extended tax deadline for each state below might only apply to certain counties or parishes. The IRS will automatically grant tax deadline extensions for taxpayers who live or have businesses in those areas. 

However, other taxpayers may qualify for relief (for example, if you had records in the affected areas), you can contact the IRS at 866-562-5227 for guidance.

Extended HSA contribution deadline

The 2023 health savings account (HSA) deadline is April 15, 2024, when federal tax returns are due. However, qualifying taxpayers granted federal tax extensions due to severe storms also have extended HSA contribution deadlines. 

Taxpayers granted relief can make prior-year HSA contributions until the date their federal tax returns are due.

Connecticut

Connecticut tax deadline extension

Severe storms and flooding hit parts of Connecticut beginning on Jan. 10, 2024. The storms caused a partial dam break, which left thousands of residents without power. 

Affected businesses and residents in parts of Connecticut now have until June 17, 2024, to meet various tax deadlines originally due between Jan. 10, 2024, and June 17, 2024.

Currently, only New London County, including the Mohegan Tribal Nation and Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, has been granted tax relief. However, additional areas may be added in the future.
