    How would extending automatic tax deadline relief from 60 to 120 days affect disaster recovery timelines for affected individuals and businesses?

  2. 02

    What criteria should determine which natural disasters qualify for IRS deadline extensions, and who decides when relief is warranted?

  3. 03

    Could longer tax filing delays impact federal revenue collection or create complications for disaster victims who need quick access to tax refunds?
