IOWA TAX DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR TAXPAYERS AFFECTED BY TORNADOES AND FLOODING Updated September 3, 2008 Taxpayers affected by tornadoes and flooding had additional time to file Iowa tax returns and pay Iowa tax. The extended deadline was August 29, 2008, for returns and payments due after May 24, 2008, and before August 23, 2008. Affected taxpayers were not subject to any penalty for failing to file or pay. In addition, interest was not due on payments made by August 29, 2008. The taxes impacted by this extension were:
If an affected taxpayer receives a penalty or interest notice from the Department, the taxpayer should call the telephone number on the notice. Taxpayers filing a paper return were asked to make a notation on the return stating, “Taxpayer affected by tornadoes/flooding.” Casualty Losses Affected taxpayers in presidentially-declared disaster areas may claim disaster-related casualty losses on their federal income tax returns for either 2007 or 2008. The option chosen for federal purposes will be automatically allowed for Iowa tax purposes. Taxpayers may amend their 2007 Iowa income tax returns to take advantage of this provision. The State
of Iowa Flood 2008 Web site maintains the most current lists of state and federal disaster
counties. |
