The IRS gave the longer time for filing and payment to Boston all individuals in Suffolk County, including Boston, along with victims, their families, first responders, others impacted by the events who live outside Suffolk County and taxpayers whose tax preparers were affected. The deadline will be July 15. No penalties will be imposed if returns are filed and payment made by that date, but under the law, 3-percent interest compounded daily will apply to payments made after April 15.
