Disaster Related Extension of Deadlines Act

This bill changes how the IRS handles tax deadlines when they are delayed due to federally declared disasters or certain other events. Currently, when the IRS postpones tax filing deadlines because of disasters, those postponements don't count as official extensions when calculating how much money taxpayers can get back in refunds. The bill would make these disaster-related postponements count the same as regular extensions, which could help some taxpayers get larger refunds. The bill also adjusts when the IRS must send certain payment notices to account for these disaster-related delays.
