Excerpts from a recent IRS release:



Part III - Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous
Disaster relief for taxpayers affected by the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack.
Notice 2001-61
PURPOSE
This notice provides tax relief under sections 6081, 6161, and 7508A of the Internal Revenue Code for taxpayers affected by the September 11, 2001, Terrorist Attack.

In addition, the Internal Revenue Service has determined that other taxpayers affected (as defined below) by the terrorist attack are also entitled to relief, regardless of where they reside. Taxpayers who believe they are entitled to relief under this notice should mark "September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack" in red ink on the top of their return and other-2-documents submitted to the IRS.

The perpetrators of the attack, and anyone aiding the attack, will not qualify for relief under this notice.

Love the last sentence.

Maybe this is an indication of how tired I am, but that last sentence made me laugh till I drooled on my keyboard.

Agreed. Ain't it great on how clear the government have to be? :D

This is a rather nice (and thus rare) gesture from the I.R.S. My biggest worry in fact, is that I hope no one tries to be an idiot and sign themselves off for relief if they hadn't had anything affect them. That'd be plain evil.

I think someone out there will try that. Your right though BBuffoon, it would be plain evil.
