The IRS has announced tax relief for individuals and businesses in parts of New Mexico affected by severe storms, flooding, and landslides that began on June 23, 2025.

According to the IRS release—NM-2025-03 (July 16, 2025)—following a disaster declaration by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, taxpayers in Chaves, Lincoln, Otero, and Valencia counties now have until February 2, 2026, to file various federal tax returns and make payments.

The February 2, 2026, filing deadline applies to:

  • Any individual, business or tax-exempt organization that has a valid extension to file their 2024 return due to run out on October 15, 2025
  • Quarterly estimated income tax payments normally due on September 15, 2025, and January 15, 2026
  • Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on July 31, October 31, 2025, and January 31, 2026
  • Calendar-year partnerships and S corporations whose 2024 extensions run out on September 15, 2025
  • Calendar-year corporations whose 2024 extensions run out on October 15, 2025
  • Calendar-year tax exempt organizations whose extensions run out on November 17, 2025

However, payments for returns on a filing extension are not eligible for additional time to pay as filing extensions only apply to the filing of the return and not to payments.
