The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the extension for the deadline of filing of the Tax Return 2023 in the state of Arkansas. This is because of the residents who were heavily affected by the recent severe storms happening in the state.

According to Backman, instead of the deadline on April 18, the victims now have until July 31 to finish their Tax Return 2023 and pay any tax obligations they owe from last year. Failing to file and pay taxes on time generally result in penalties. However, the residents of Arkansas will receive an extension to finish and pay their taxes without being deemed as late.
