WHAT’S THE BUZZ, TELL ME WHAT’S A HAPPENNIN’?

 A few days late – but better late than never.

* From the IRS “Hawaii wildfire victims qualify for tax relief; Oct. 16 deadline,other dates postponed to Feb. 15” -
 
The tax relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred from Aug. 8, 2023, through Feb. 15, 2024 (postponement period). As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until Feb. 15, 2024, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period.
 
This means, for example, that the Feb. 15, 2024, deadline will now apply to:
 
Individuals who had a valid extension to file their 2022 return due to run out on Oct. 16, 2023. The IRS noted, however, that because tax payments related to these 2022 returns were due on April 18, 2023, those payments are not eligible for this relief.
 
Quarterly estimated income tax payments normally due on Sept. 15, 2023, and Jan. 16, 2024.
 
Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on Oct. 31, 2023, and Jan. 31, 2024.
 
Calendar-year partnerships and S corporations whose 2022 extensions run out on Sept. 15, 2023.
 
Calendar-year corporations whose 2022 extensions run out on Oct. 16, 2023.
 
Calendar-year tax-exempt organizations whose extensions run out on Nov. 15, 2023.
 
In addition, penalties for the failure to make payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after August 8, 2023, and before September 7, 2023, will be abated as long as the deposits are made by Sept. 7, 2023.”
 
* Also from the IRS – “Reminder to employers and employees: Educational assistance programs can be used to help pay workers’ student loans; free IRS webinar will offer details”.
 
* And a reminder from the NJ DIVISION OF TAXATION – “Parents, Students, and Educators:Take Advantage of NJ’s Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday”.
 
* Finally, a reminder from me – “This I Know To Be True”.
 
* The NATP BLOG answers a question I was often asked years ago, when I was the accountant for the NJ Center for Visual Arts in Summit NJ, in its latest “You make the callpost.
