"Following the recent disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], the IRS is providing this relief to the entire state of Texas," the IRS wrote on its website.

This covers individual and business tax returns. People and businesses can also claim storm damages on their tax returns. In order to do that, you have to write the FEMA disaster declaration number, which is 4586, on any return claiming a loss.
