NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The IRS has expanded tax relief for all taxpayers in Tennessee due to January's winter storm.
Effective Wednesday, relief has been expanded to taxpayers in ALL 95 counties in the state of Tennessee. Tennessee taxpayers now have until June 8, 2026, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments.
If you are filing as a Tennessee resident, you do not have to do anything else to receive the relief as the IRS automatically identifies these taxpayers.

Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
