Federally declared natural disasters provide special extensions to Form 5500s. Typically, within a week or two of a federally declared natural disaster, the IRS will mandate the special extension and communicate it via press release. The amount of time allotted varies. All key details are updated regularly in the chart found below. Please check back regularly as the chart will be updated as events occur.
