You don't need to do anything.   If you live in a qualified disaster area and you file between 04/15/25 and 05/01/25, the IRS will not impose a penalty.   

 

If you need an extension past May 1st, through 10/15/25, you must file the extension on paper.    See Further Tax Filing Extensions Available
