The IRS is granting many of the businesses affected by this week’s Winter Storm Stella additional time to request a six-month extension to file their 2016 federal income returns.
The relief is offered to victims and tax professionals affected by the storm that hit portions of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Business taxpayers who were unable to file their tax returns by the March 15 due date can request an automatic extension by filing

Form 7004 provides a six-month extension for returns filed by partnerships (Forms 1065 and 1065B) and S corporations (Forms 1120S).
Eligible taxpayers should write “Winter Storm Stella” on their Form 7004 extension request (if filing Form 7004 by paper).
