Recognizing the monumental toll the wildfire disaster has taken on Maui and Hawaii counties, the IRS is offering some residents of Hawaii tax deadline extensions. And the move isn't a solo effort. The Hawaii Department of Taxation has also announced tax relief for those impacted by the wildfires.
Certain federal tax filings and payments originally due between August 8, 2023, and February 14, 2024, are extended to February 15, 2024, according to the IRS. As with tax deadline extensions issued this past year due to natural disasters in several states, the IRS extension for Hawaii is designed to mitigate some of the immediate financial pressures many Hawaiians are grappling with during this pivotal recovery phase.
