Bill overview
This bill, the Disaster Related Extension of Deadlines Act, modifies how the IRS handles tax deadlines and refunds when a federally declared disaster or other qualifying event causes a postponement. Specifically, it extends the deadline for filing a tax refund claim if the original deadline was delayed due to a disaster, and it ensures that any period of postponement is considered when calculating the timeframe for claiming a tax refund. The bill also adjusts how the IRS sends out collection notices, incorporating any deadline extensions related to disasters.
