45 and 180 Day Extensions for Oklahoma counties of Ottawa and Washington for June Storms

The IRS has issued an extension for Oklahoma counties consisting of Ottawa and Washington. Note that the IRS may add additional counties later. If you are near the affected area, you should check the disaster announcement website for updates. The FEA will not issue notices if more counties are added. Both of the following criteria must be met to get the extension:

  1. The taxpayer is located in one of these counties, regardless of where the relinquished property or replacement property is located, or the taxpayer otherwise has difficulty meeting the exchange deadlines under the conditions in Revenue Procedure 2005-27, section 17; AND
  2. The relinquished property was transferred (or the parked property was acquired by the EAT in a reverse exchange under Revenue Procedure 2000-37) on or before June 10, 2007.

IF the taxpayer meets these criteria, THEN any 45 day or 180 day deadline that falls within the period of June 10 through September 5, 2007, is extended for 120 days from the last day of such deadline.
