The IRS has announced that disaster-area taxpayers in most of California and parts of Georgia and Alabama now have until October 16, 2023, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments (IR-2023-33). Earlier this year, the IRS had postponed the deadline to May 15.
Items, such as interest, state and local income and sales taxes, charitable contributions, and medical deductions, claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Itemized deductions are subtracted from adjusted gross income to arrive at taxable income. The amount of itemized deductions is also subject to a reduction when adjusted gross income exceeds certain limits.
