The Internal Revenue Service has announced new tax relief for individuals and businesses affected by the ongoing events in Israel, postponing until September 30, 2027, a wide range of deadlines for filing federal returns, making tax payments and performing other time-sensitive tax-related actions.

Under Notice 2026-63, affected individuals and businesses in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza now have until September 30, 2027 to file returns and pay any taxes that were or will become due between September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2027.

The new notice is the latest in a series of IRS relief measures connected to the situation in Israel. Together with the earlier notices issued in 2023, 2024 and 2025, the relief now covers federal tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred or will occur at any point from October 7, 2023 through September 30, 2027.

The IRS says it automatically identifies taxpayers whose principal residence or principal place of business is located in the covered area, based on previously filed returns, and applies the relief with no action needed. Other eligible taxpayers, or their representatives, whose filing address is outside the covered area can obtain relief by calling the IRS disaster hotline at 866-562-5227 and identifying the date they qualified for relief. International callers may call 267-941-1000.

Taxpayers with questions about their specific eligibility are advised to consult their accountants.
