Are tax return filing extensions available to victims of Hurricane Ike?
Yes. For income and corporation franchise taxes, the state will be granting the same filing extensions as the Internal Revenue Service. To be eligible for the extension, the taxpayer must be located or their tax preparer’s records located in a parish declared a natural disaster area and the taxpayer granted an original filing extension. For withholding, excise, sales, and severance taxes, hurricane extensions have been granted from the original filing due dates.
