This letter template is used by a governor to formally request federal tax filing and payment relief under Sec. 7508A(c) for taxpayers affected by a state‑declared disaster. It documents the nature and impact of the disaster, explains how affected taxpayers’ ability to meet federal tax obligations has been disrupted and establishes why the event qualifies for discretionary relief. The request asks the Secretary of the Treasury to postpone applicable federal tax deadlines for a specified disaster‑related period.
