If you live or have a business in one of the Tennessee counties affected by Winter Storm Fern, the IRS has granted you an automatic extension to May 22, 2026 to file and pay your federal taxes. There is nothing you need to do to receive this relief; the IRS applies it automatically based on your address.
Qualifying counties include: Cheatham, Chester, Clay, Davidson, Decatur, Dickson, Hardeman, Hardin, Henderson, Hickman, Lawrence, Lewis, Macon, Maury, McNairy, Perry, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, Williamson, and Wilson.
This relief covers individual income tax returns, business returns, quarterly payroll and excise tax returns, and estimated tax payments - all pushed to May 22.
‼️One important thing to know: The May 22 disaster relief does not replace a formal extension. If you want to extend your filing deadline all the way to October, you must still submit your extension request (Form 4868) by April 15, 2026.
If you have any questions about whether this relief applies to you, or if you are ready to get your documents together and get filed, we are here to help. 📞 (615) 773-2736
