The tax relief is available to anyone in any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as qualifying for individual assistance. That only includes affected taxpayers who live or have a business in Florida, but the IRS will offer the same relief to any taxpayers in other areas designated by FEMA later.
The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. Therefore, taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief. However, if an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date falling within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.
Florida Tax Extension Form: To request a Florida business extension, submit Form F-7004 by the original deadline of your return. Form F-7004 can be filed by paper mail or e-filed online using Florida's “File and Pay” e-Services system.
The current list of eligible localities is always available on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.
