Tax relief is extended to ALL 82 counties. The Internal Revenue Service announced today tax relief for individuals and businesses in Mississippi affected by the severe winter storm that began on Jan. 23, 2026. These taxpayers now have until June 8, 2026, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments.
Following the disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), individuals and households that reside or have a business in Mississippi qualify for tax relief. The declaration permits the IRS to postpone certain tax-filing and tax-payment deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. For instance, for certain deadlines falling on or after Jan. 23, 2026, and on or before June 8, 2026, taxpayers are granted additional time to file.
As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until June 8, 2026, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period.
The June 8, 2026, deadline applies to individual income tax returns and payments normally due on or after Jan. 23, 2026. Penalties on payroll and excise tax deposits due on or after Jan. 23, 2026, and before Feb. 9, 2026, will be abated as long as the tax deposits are made by Feb. 9, 2026.
The June 8, 2026, deadline also applies to affected quarterly payroll and certain excise tax returns normally due on Feb. 2, 2026, and April 30, 2026.

REMINDER: Extensions should be filed electronically by April 15 to ensure the October 15 deadline is covered. Since you cannot extend electronically after tomorrow, paper extensions can be mailed by June 8 to cover to October 15 if necessary.
We are still waiting on MDOR’s response. Stay tuned.
