Specific updated information can be found at www.legaltaxloopholes.com. IRS categories are:
Special extensions for (1) victims of the crash, (2) all workers assisting in the relief, and (3) taxpayers who are working within the disaster area:
Individual returns on extensions past September 10, 2001 are extended to February 12, 2002.
All other returns extended 120 days.
Estimated taxes originally due after September 11, 2001 extended to January 15, 2002.

Tax returns due now are extended to November 15, 2001.
Payments for these tax returns are due by October 31, 2001.
Estimated tax payments have been extended to November 15, 2001.
