Postponed Deadlines for Time-Sensitive Acts for Alabama & Arkansas Storm Victims

(December 30, 201) “Affected taxpayers" who are victims of certain federally declared disasters are eligible for postponed deadlines for the completion of eligible time-sensitive acts, many of which are related to IRAs, employer plans, HSAs, or Coverdell ESAs, when the original deadline falls within a given date range. On December 28, 2021, the IRS issued two news releases to provide “affected taxpayers” of recent disasters in Alabama and Arkansas relief with postponed deadlines for the completion of certain time-sensitive acts many of which are related to IRAs, employer plans, HSAs, or Coverdell ESAs.

AL-2021-03 was issued to provide affected taxpayers of the severe storms and flooding in Alabama relief with postponed deadlines for the completion of certain time-sensitive acts with a due date to be performed on or after October 6, 2021, and before February 28, 2022, are postponed until February 28, 2022.

AR-2021-01 was issued to provide affected taxpayers of the severe storms and tornadoes in Arkansas relief with postponed deadlines for the completion of certain time-sensitive acts with a due date to be performed on or after December 10, 2021, and before May 16, 2022, are postponed until May 16, 2022. The May 16, 2022, postponed deadline includes the deadline for making 2021 IRA and HSA contributions. As a result, affected taxpayers of the Arkansas severe storms and tornadoes will have until May 16, 2022, to make 2021 IRA and HSA contributions.
