Florida – According to the IRS, residents in nearly 40 counties throughout Florida will have until May 1, 2025, to finish filing their 2023 taxes.

Public Affairs Officer Cesar Yabor said some counties on that list include Alachua, Bradford, Columbia, Lee, Marion, Pinellas, Sarasota, Union, and Washington.

The IRS had originally extended the deadline to file taxes to Oct. 15; however, as communities recover from Hurricane Helene and prepare for Hurricane Milton, Yabor said there’s potential for even more pushback.

“The Panhandle counties, North Florida counties, and then swinging down to Tampa, which is about 41 counties, those folks will have until May the first of next year to follow taxes and to pay for any debts they may owe,” Yabor said.

He continued to say that everyone impacted by the IRS' decision should monitor the agency’s website in case the county list is made bigger or if the rules for the extension receive any alterations.

With cleanup operations ongoing in many of these counties and Hurricane Milton approaching, the list of counties receiving the new tax deadline could grow.
