WASHINGTON – The U.S. Internal Revenue Service again has extended the tax-filing deadline for victims of this week’s flooding in the Northeast.
The agency previously had given affected taxpayers two extra days to file their taxes because the nor’easter that struck Sunday caused power outages and public transportation problems across the region, “making it difficult in some cases, if not impossible … to meet the April 17 filing deadline.”

Today, “after further assessment of conditions across the region affected by the April 16 storm,” the IRS extended that deadline by seven more days, to Thursday, April 26, according to regional spokeswoman Peggy E. Riley.
Affected taxpayers who are filing paper returns should mark them with the words “April 16 storm,” the IRS said. Those who e-file should use their software’s “disaster” feature, if it has one.
