More information is available in this <a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/accounts\/USIRS\/bulletins\/2f06a6b?reqfrom=share\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IRS Bulletin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>No matter the type of disaster or how devastating it is, before the IRS can choose to authorize tax relief, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must issue a major disaster declaration. Generally, the IRS will authorize disaster tax relief to all areas identified on a major disaster declaration if FEMA identifies at least one area qualifying for their Individual Assistance program.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tax-related things that usually happen after a major disaster:<\/p>\n<p><b>The IRS gives taxpayers more time to file and pay.\u00a0<\/b>Taxpayers whose address of record is in an area qualifying for IRS disaster tax relief will automatically receive extra time from the IRS to file returns and pay taxes.

Information is usually available on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/irs-new-media-1\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IRS Twitter account<\/a>, and taxpayers can also call the agency&#8217;s disaster line at 866-532-5227 with questions.<\/p>\n<p><b>Taxpayers can qualify for a casualty loss tax deduction.\u00a0<\/b>People who have damaged or lost property due to a federally declared disaster may qualify to claim a casualty loss deduction. They can claim this on their current or prior-year tax return. This may result in a larger refund.<\/p>\n<p><b>People can apply for a disaster loan or grant.\u00a0<\/b>The SBA offers financial help to business owners, homeowners, and renters. This help is for those in a federally declared disaster area. To qualify, a taxpayer must have filed all required tax returns.<\/p>\n<p><b>Taxpayers might need a tax return transcript.\u00a0<\/b>People who need a tax transcript to support their disaster claims can obtain free transcripts by using\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/get-transcript\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Get Transcript<\/a>\u00a0to access their transcripts immediately online or to request mail delivery.

The IRS waives the usual fees and expedites requests for copies of tax returns for people who need them to apply for disaster-related benefits or to file amended returns claiming disaster-related losses. If filing Forms 4506-T or 4506, the taxpayer should state on the form that the request is disaster related and list the state and type of event.
