Due to Hurricane Sandy’s impact, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has extended various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred starting in late October.

Affected individuals and businesses have until February 1, 2013 to file and pay the following:

• Fourth quarter individual estimated payments, normally due January 15, 2013

• Payroll and excise tax returns and accompanying payments for the third and fourth quarters, normally due on October 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013 respectively

• Tax exempt organizations required to file Form 990 series returns with an original or extended deadline falling during this period
