The North Carolina Department of Revenue recognizes that recent hurricanes may have affected the ability of certain taxpayers to meet North Carolina’s filing deadlines. The Department will work with taxpayers, on a case-by-case basis, and will waive any penalties assessed against taxpayers who cannot meet state filing or payment requirements as a result of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria and generally recognize the federal due date of January 31, 2018. Additionally, the Department is allowing an extension of 30 days for filing returns for sales and use taxes for affected taxpayers.
