Readers dreading Tax Day should have no fear—the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has extended the filing deadline for Tennessee residents and businesses until Nov. 3. Find more details in the story below.

IRS Extends Tax Deadline for Tennesseans

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced Monday that it was extending today’s tax-filing deadline for Tennessee residents and businesses until Nov. 3 due to the impacts of severe weather across the state.

The IRS announcement follows weeks of natural disasters across Tennessee in April, including destructive storms, tornadoes, and flooding.

An IRS spokesperson said Tennesseans aren’t required to file any additional forms to qualify for the extension. The deadline extension applies both to filing and payment of taxes originally due in April.

Crash Victims Identified as Family of MTSU Golfer

The three victims of a Friday plane crash in East Tennessee have been identified as the father and grandparents of Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) golfer Carter Maneth.

The small single-engine plane was traveling to the Tar Heel Intercollegiate golf tournament when the accident occurred near Cherokee National Park. Response crews said the rough terrain at the crash site was slowing search and recovery efforts.

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board are urging individuals who may have witnessed the incident to contact them.

Museum Donation Faces Uncertain Future

Clayton Homes founder Jim Clayton has withdrawn a $150 million donation to construct a new science museum in Knoxville but indicated he still plans to build one in the future.

Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon expressed her disappointment publicly after Clayton withdrew his donation to build the new museum at the site of the former Knoxville Police headquarters.

Clayton called the mayor’s statement surprising and added that “a great science museum is in our future.” No explanation was given for the withdrawal of the donation.
