Tax Brake with Robert G. Nath, Esq.

1. Toll-free number. Dial 1-866-562-5227, a special hotline exclusively for disaster-related information. This is available 7am-10pm.

2. Website. Go to irs.gov/relief/index.html for more information. This is a section of irs.gov, the general IRS website. There is also a link on the general site to a page entitled “Relief for Victims of Terrorist Attacks.” This is at irs.ustreas.gov/relief/index.html.

   That site gives information on extended filing deadlines, emails for questions, and quick refunds.

3. While all of this is happening, those affected are wise to continue keeping records of how the disaster affected you. This means recording of keeping copies of insurance claims, denials, partial grants, etc. It means keeping records of phone calls, inventories of objects lost, etc. Remember that as clear as things are now, the taxpayer still bears the burden of proof on losses.
