Due to the severe storms, flooding, mudslides and landslides in West Virginia beginning June 12, 2010, President Barack Obama declared the following counties a federal disaster area: Lewis, Logan, McDowell, Mingo, and Wyoming. Therefore, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced recently that it will waive failure to deposit penalties for employment and excise taxes due after June 11, 2010 and before June 29, 2010 as long as the deposits were made by June 28, 2010. In addition, affected taxpayers will have until August 11, 2010 to file most tax returns. Contact Vision Payroll if you were affected by the severe storms, flooding, mudslides and landslides and need further information on the relief provided by the IRS.
