Extension offered: The state is offering tax relief to those living in areas impacted by severe storms and tornadoes that ripped through portions of south Louisiana earlier this month. In a news release, the Louisiana Department of Revenue says it has granted filing and payment extensions to residents in certain ZIP codes in Livingston and Orleans parishes. In Livingston Parish, those ZIP codes include 70447, 70454, 70462, 70706 and 70785. For individual income, corporate income and franchise taxes, the extended filing and payment deadlines are June 30 for taxpayers with original or extended due dates on or after Feb. 7. However, taxpayers under an existing agreement with the Department of Revenue to pay taxes due are not eligible for an additional extension. Get more information.
