TN And AR Tax Filing Deadline Extended to Nov. 3 for Businesses and Individuals due to Disaster Relief.

IRS Extends the Filing Date for all of Arkansas IR-2025-49 and all of Tennessee IR-2025-47 to November 3, 2025 for Individuals and Businesses. Due to severe storms, flooding and tornados the deadlines have been extended for making payments and filing tax returns.

Taxpayers in Tennessee and Arkansas are granted extensions for individual and business tax-related deadlines that fall between April 2, 2025, and November 3, 2025. The November 3 deadline applies to individual income tax returns, individual retirement arrangement (IRA) contributions, quarterly estimated tax payments, quarterly payroll and excise tax returns, calendar-year corporation and fiduciary returns and payments, and calendar-year tax-exempt organization returns.

Penalties for failing to make payroll and excise tax deposits due between April 2 and April 17, 2025, will be waived if deposits are made by April 17, 2025.

The IRS will automatically apply filing and penalty relief to taxpayers within these states. Those outside the area but affected can contact the IRS for assistance at 866-562-5227.
