MDOR announced that Mississippi will follow federal extensions granted to victims of the severe weather. Taxpayers who reside or have a business in Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe, and Sharkey counties have until July 31, 2023, to file individual income tax returns, corporate income and franchise tax returns, pass-through entity tax returns and quarterly estimated payments that were originally due during this period.

     Any disaster area taxpayer who receives a penalty notice should contact the MDOR office at (601) 923-7700 to receive abatement. In addition, MDOR will work with any taxpayer who resides elsewhere but whose books, records, or tax professionals are located in the disaster areas.

     The extension does not automatically apply to any other tax types or payments due on prior liabilities. Relief may be granted on a case-by-case basis for these circumstances. Any taxpayer that is impacted and needs an extension should contact the MDOR office at the number above.
