In addition, penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after Sept. 1 and before Sept. 16, will be abated as long as the deposits are made by Sept. 16, 2021.

“During this difficult time, the IRS stands ready to help victims of Hurricane Ida,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “We want people affected by this devastating hurricane focused on their safety and recovery for themselves and their families. To provide assistance now and in the weeks ahead, we have a variety of different types of relief available to help people and businesses affected by this disaster.”

The New Jersey state government has extended similar relief to hurricane victims. While New York has a variety of its own relief measures in place, thus far it appears that tax deadline extensions are not among them.
