Resources for Assisting Disaster Survivors
The past few years has seen a number of natural disasters of significant magnitude, including hurricanes and wildfires. While tax issues may not be the first concern of survivors of disasters, eventually they may need to know the resources available to them in this area. The Tax Section, through the collective efforts of its diverse membership and its Committees on Pro Bono and Tax Clinics and Individual and Family Taxation, has the expertise to provide tax assistance to those most in need in the wake of such devastating circumstances. We aim to create resources that can be activated by tax attorneys throughout the country wanting to help when a disaster strikes. If you are interested in learning more and in getting involved in ABA efforts to assist disaster survivors, this page includes links to Tax Section and other ABA content as well as to IRS information about tax relief in disaster situations.
