Tax deadline extended to May 15 for storm victims

EUREKA, Calif. — Storm victims in many parts of California, including Humboldt and Mendocino counties, now have until May 15, 2023 to file tax returns and make payments.

The Internal Revenue Service extended the deadline on Jan. 10, for Californians affected by this winter's severe weather.

Depending on the severity of damage to their property, residents in federally declared disaster areas may also qualify for additional government aid, according to Rep. Jared Huffman.

"In aftermath of the Humboldt earthquakes, I asked the Small Business Administration (SBA) to declare Humboldt County a disaster area, which frees up loans for residents and businesses to rebuild," Huffman wrote in his newsletter. "Thankfully, the SBA acted on the request, and if you are in of need this assistance, you can learn more and apply here."
