Procrastinators rejoice: Nashville has a tax deadline extension

The big picture: The ice storm sidelined the city for several days at the end of January. Major roads were obstructed by ice and downed trees, schools and businesses closed, and nearly half the city lost electricity.

Zoom in: The IRS extension, announced earlier this month, applies to Cheatham, Chester, Clay, Davidson, Decatur, Dickson, Hardeman, Hardin, Henderson, Hickman, Lawrence, Lewis, Macon, Maury, McNairy, Perry, Robertson, Rutherford, Summer, Trousdale, Wayne, Williamson and Wilson counties.

How it works: The IRS said it would automatically identify taxpayers in the area and allow the extension.
