Disaster Related Extension of Deadlines Act

This bill changes how the IRS handles tax deadlines that get pushed back because of a federally declared disaster. Right now, if your tax deadline is delayed due to a disaster, that extra time doesn't count when figuring out how far back you can go to claim a tax refund, which could cause some people to lose out on refund money. This bill would make that extra disaster-related time count, so people affected by disasters don't miss out on refunds for taxes they already paid. It also makes sure the IRS waits until after any disaster-extended payment deadline before sending out notices demanding tax payments.
