FinCEN has issued five Notices extending the filing deadlines to for reporting companies that 1) have an original reporting deadline beginning one day before the date the specified disaster began and ending 90 days after that date and 2) are located in an area that is designated both by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as qualifying for individual or public assistance and by the IRS as eligible for tax filing relief. Please refer to the applicable Notice for specific information.
