Filing Relief for Natural Disasters Act

This bill allows the Internal Revenue Service to extend federal tax deadlines for people affected by state-declared disasters when a state governor requests it. Currently, the IRS can only extend tax deadlines for federally declared disasters. The bill defines qualified state disasters as natural catastrophes, fires, floods, or explosions that cause enough damage to justify delaying tax deadlines. The bill also increases automatic tax deadline extensions from 60 days to 120 days for certain people affected by federally declared disasters, including relief workers and those whose homes, businesses, or tax records are in disaster areas.
