The IRS is providing tax relief to individual and business taxpayers impacted by severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides in Colorado.
The IRS announced today that certain taxpayers in the counties of Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld will receive tax relief, and other locations may be added in coming days following additional damage assessments by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The tax relief postpones certain tax filing and payment deadlines to December 2, 2013. It includes corporations and businesses that previously obtained an extension until September 16, 2013, to file their 2012 returns and individuals and businesses that received a similar extension until October 15. It also includes the estimated tax payment for the third quarter of 2013, which would normally be due September 16.
The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies automatic filing and payment relief. But affected taxpayers who reside or have a business located outside the covered disaster area must call the IRS disaster hotline at 866-562-5227 to request this tax relief.

The relief typically applies to taxpayers in collections, dealing with a Revenue Officer, Audit, Appeals, Offer In Compromise, or in another collection matter concerning the
