IRS provides relief to Ernesto victims throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands

The Internal Revenue Service announced tax relief for individuals and businesses throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands affected by Tropical Storm Ernesto that began on Aug. 13, 2024.

These taxpayers now have until Feb. 3, 2025, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments. The IRS is offering relief to any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

This means that individuals and households that reside or have a business in any of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ four islands qualify for tax relief. The current list of eligible localities is always available on the Tax relief in disaster situations page on IRS.gov.
