Understanding Disaster Relief Tax Law and Contribution Deductibility

The IRS offers online training for charitable organizations that assist with disaster relief. Disaster Relief – Parts I and II discuss how charities may provide disaster relief, deductibility of contributions to relief organizations and tax treatment of relief recipients. Organizational leadership and volunteers should complete the Tax-Exempt Organization Workshop for important information on the benefits, limitations and expectations of tax-exempt organizations.

 

Extended Due Dates for Those in Federally Declared Disaster Areas

The extended due date for filing Form 990 series returns for most organizations is November 15, however some may have more time to file. Exempt organizations in federally declared disaster areas who already had valid extensions may have their deadline extended. For details, see the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.
