JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The St. Louis region is facing one of its most active storm seasons in history. So far in 2025, the area has seen 43 confirmed tornado touchdowns—nearly double the annual average of 22.

Statewide, 89 tornadoes have been confirmed, according to a spokesperson from the National Weather Service.

In response to the widespread damage, The Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) announced Thursday that tax extensions will be provided to help Missouri residents and businesses affected by the recent devastating weather-related events.

The DOR will stick to guidelines set by the IRS with respect to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) disaster declaration .

The declaration allows the IRS to delay some tax-filing and payment deadlines for those who live or own a business in an affected area.

According to the DOR, taxpayers in the impacted area facing tax deadlines that fall on or after March 14, 2025, and before Nov. 3, 2025, will be given additional time to file, up to Nov. 3, 2025.
