Put a plan in place for potential disasters

Hurricane season officially started at the beginning of the month, but they aren’t the only type of disaster that can occur. Taxpayers are encouraged to take steps now to ensure they’re prepared in case they are impacted by a disaster or emergency.

Review and update emergency preparedness plan annually
Taxpayers should review their emergency preparedness plan, at least annually. Ready.gov has resources and checklists to help people put together their emergency preparedness plan.

Create electronic copies of documents
Taxpayers should keep important documents and storage devices in a safe place. If original documents are available only on paper, taxpayers should consider converting them to electronic versions and storing them on a USB flash drive or in the cloud. Many financial institutions provide statements electronically. All taxpayers are encouraged to create an IRS Individual Account. They can access online transcripts, notices, and other tax information.

Document valuables
Take pictures or video of valuables before disaster strikes. It makes it easier to claim insurance and tax benefits. IRS.gov has a disaster loss workbook that can help taxpayers compile a room-by-room list of belongings.

Understand tax relief available for disaster situations

  • Information on disaster assistance and emergency relief for individuals and businesses disaster assistance and emergency relief for individuals and businesses is available at IRS.gov. Taxpayers should also review Publication 547, Casualties, Disasters and Thefts.
  • Taxpayers who live in a federally declared disaster area can visit Around the nation on IRS.gov and click on their state to review the available disaster tax relief. Those who live in designated areas for disaster relief receive automatic filing and payment postponements for many currently due tax returns and don't need to contact the agency to get relief.
  • Taxpayers and practitioners who live in a federally declared disaster area with disaster-related questions can call the IRS Special Services Hotline at 866-562-5227 to speak with an IRS specialist.

Inside This Issue


More than half the U.S. States signed up to participate in the federal scholarship tax credit program enacted under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill

IR-2026-76, June 8, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced that 27 states have elected to participate in the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) program, which enables eligible taxpayers to claim a federal tax credit for qualified contributions to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) providing scholarships for qualified elementary and secondary education expenses.

For taxpayers to claim the tax credit of up to $1,700, they must contribute to an SGO located in a state that elects to participate in the FSTC program and submits a list of qualified SGOs. State participation in the program, enacted under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, is voluntary.

“It’s encouraging to see that 27 states have already signed up to participate in this program that promotes and supports elementary and secondary education,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. “We are hopeful that additional states will decide to participate.”

As of early 2026 multiple states have formally opted into the program, including: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

The IRS will maintain and update the official list of participating states as they complete the required election and submission process. The most current information is available at Federal Scholarship Tax Credit. Some state websites may not yet reflect their current participation status.

For additional information on Section 25F and the FSTC, visit One Big, Beautiful Bill Provisions on IRS.gov.
