Written by Freed Maxick Tax Team | Tue, Dec 06, 2022 @ 06:00 PM

On December 2, 2022, the IRS issued NY-2022-08, which provides relief for victims of a severe winter storm that began on 11/18/2022. This relief provides an extension of time to file returns and pay any taxes that were or are due during the relief period, for individuals that reside or have a business in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Jefferson, Lewis, Niagara, Oneida, Oswego, St. Lawrence, and Wyoming counties. The relief period generally includes all returns normally due on or after 11/18/22 and before 3/15/2023, including:

  • Quarterly estimated income tax payments
  • Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns
  • Individual and business returns with original or extended due dates within the relief period

Additionally, penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after 11/18/22 and before 12/5/2022 will be abated if the deposits are made by 12/5/2022 (check with your payroll provider).

This is a fluid situation, as we receive additional guidance, we will communicate it to you. As of this date, NYS has not announced conformity with this notice.
