All of Arkansas qualifies for disaster tax relief; various deadlines postponed to Nov. 3

The Notice specifies that the Nov. 3, 2025 deadline will now apply to:

• Individual income tax returns and payments normally due on April 15, 2025.
• 2024 contributions to IRAs and health savings accounts for eligible taxpayers.
• Quarterly estimated tax payments normally due on April 15, June 16 and Sept. 15, 2025.
• Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on April 30, July 31 and Oct. 31, 2025.
• Calendar-year corporation and fiduciary returns and payments normally due on April 15, 2025.
• Calendar-year tax-exempt organization returns normally due on May 15, 2025.

In addition, penalty for failing to make payroll and excise tax deposits on or after April 2, 2025, and before April 17, 2025 will be abated if deposits are made by April 17, 2025.

Further, the Notice provides guidance on how individuals and business who suffered uninsured or unreimbursed disaster-related losses can choose to claim them.

Taxpayers who receive qualified disaster relief payments may generally exclude such payments from gross income.

Taxpayers may be able to take a special disaster distribution from retirement plans or individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) without being subjected to the additional 10% early distribution tax and may be able to spread the income over three years.
