The deadline for North Carolinians to register for disaster assistance has been extended to 11:59 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2018.
TWO MORE DAYS.
Here’s how to apply for assistance before the Dec. 19 deadline:...
• Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov/ or DisasterAssistance.gov/es (for Spanish)
• Call 800-621-3362 or 800-462-7585 (TTY) anytime from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time seven days a week until further notice. Multilingual operators are available.
I urge anyone who has damage or losses from Hurricane Florence to register now before it’s too late.
From 1991 through 2016, approximately 130,000 combat-injured veterans received disability severance payments that were inadvertently treated as taxable.
In response to the Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act, which I co-sponsored, the DoD began issuing letters in July to eligible veterans advising that they may be due a refund. The IRS has advised that eligible veterans owed refunds attributable to disability severance payments should file amended returns for the year i...n which they received the payment to claim tax refunds.
Veterans have one year from the date of the DoD letter (until July 2019), or three years from the due date of the return, whichever is later, to claim the refund.
If you are affected by this, I encourage you to find more information here:
