St. Louis – Tuesday is tax day for most Americans. But if you live in one of the 35 Missouri counties declared a federal disaster area after the recent flooding, you have an extra month to file your return.
The IRS also says anyone who has a business or tax preparer in one of the affected counties is also eligible for the extension, but anyone seeking a government check from this year's economic stimulus program must file a return.
The filing deadline for those in the flooded counties is May 19.
St. Francois, Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and St. Louis Counties are among those on the list. However St. Louis city is not.
More information is available from the Missouri Department of Revenue.
