Spidell Publishing approached the IRS about Los Angeles County taxpayers (within the Presidential Declared Disaster area) receiving penalty/interest notices after filing their 2024 taxes prior to the extended due date of October 15, 2025.

The IRS responded that some ZIP codes overlap into multiple counties. If a taxpayer receives such a notice, he/she should request an abatement of the interest/penalties and provide proof that they are within LA County (e.g., a copy of a Los Angeles County property tax bill for the address).
