26 CFR Part 301

[REG-101492-98] RIN 1545-AV92

Relief for Service in Combat Zone and for Presidentially Declared Disaster

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

Section 7508A provides that, in the case of a taxpayer determined by the Secretary to be affected by a Presidentially declared disaster, the Secretary may postpone certain tax-related deadlines for up to 90 days. The deadlines that may be postponed are determined by cross- reference to section 7508(a)(1). Pursuant to section 7508A(b), the provision does not apply for purposes of determining interest on any overpayment or underpayment (if the underpayment arose prior to the disaster). See also H.R. Rep. No. 148, 105th Cong., 1st Sess. 397 (1997).

Heard an unconfirmed report a few days ago that the IRS was unable to access their files due to a y2k failure. Anyone have any info on that? Thanks!

Hey Eddie,

There are alot of posts on that from earlier this week. Some of them have links, so if you're looking for documentation on that event then you'll find it.
