Tax Year Disaster Relief Extension

In the event the IRS grants an extension to file and pay various federal tax obligations due to the declaration of a disaster, a taxpayer may request an extension in West Virginia as well. Information on current eligible IRS disaster ​relief extensions for West Virginia can be found online here.

West Virginia state tax file and pay obligations are not automatically extended. Taxpayers who wish to request a disaster relief extension for their state tax obligations should use the following forms:

EXD-B Disaster Relief Extension – Business Taxes

EXD-P Disaster Relief Extension – Personal Income Tax

Extension forms should be filled out and submitted to the West Virginia Tax Division at the address listed on the form after the taxpayer has been granted the federal disaster relief extension. Taxpayers who are granted an extension for disaster relief from the IRS will have until the date specified in the matching IRS notice of extension to file and pay their state obligations.

For more information or guidance, taxpayers can reach out to a Taxpayer Service Representative at (304) 558-3333, toll-free at 1 (800) 982-8297, or TaxHelp@WV.Gov.

Tips to Make Filing Easier

To avoid processing delays and to speed the issuance of any refund, the Tax Division urges people to follow these five steps:

  1. Check the Tax Division Website for the latest tax information.
  2. Organize and gather 2023 tax records including Social Security numbers, Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, Adoption Taxpayer Identification Numbers, and this year's Identity Protection Personal Identification Numbers valid for calendar year 2024.
  3. Use a bank account, prepaid debit card or mobile app to use direct deposit. Taxpayers will need to provide routing and account numbers.
  4. Make final estimated tax payments for 2023 by Tuesday, January 16, 2024, to help avoid a possible assessment for taxes owed and penalties.
  5. Set up or log in securely at MyTaxes.WVTax.Gov to access personal tax account information including balance, payments, and tax records including adjusted gross income.
