WASHINGTON — The IRS has announced tax relief for individuals and businesses in 51 Florida counties affected by Hurricane Milton.

Starting October 5, 2024, individuals and businesses in Broward, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie—previously ineligible for relief—will receive disaster tax relief until May 1, 2025.

Additionally, 20 counties previously receiving relief under Hurricane Debby will benefit from tax relief under Hurricane Milton from August 1, 2024, to May 1, 2025.

Affected taxpayers across Florida now have until May 1, 2025, to file federal individual and business tax returns and make payments, including 2024 returns and 2023 returns with valid extensions.

Any individual, C corporation or tax-exempt organization that has a valid extension to file their calendar-year 2023 federal return. The IRS noted, however, that payments on these returns are not eligible for the extra time because they were due last spring before the hurricane occurred.
