The IRS and State of New Jersey have extended the tax filing deadline for people in disaster area counties.
NJ Tax Relief for Severe Storm Victims
The New Jersey Division of Taxation will follow the guidelines recently provided by the Internal Revenue Service for taxpayers in the Presidential Disaster Relief Areas for severe storms, flooding, mudslides and landslides in New Jersey beginning March 12, 2010. Affected taxpayers include businesses and individuals located in the disaster areas, those whose tax records are in the disaster areas, and relief workers.
The twelve counties covered by the federal declaration are: Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Gloucester, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset and Union.
Taxpayers affected by the storms now have until May 11, 2010 to file their New Jersey tax returns such as individual income tax, corporation business tax, sales tax, inheritance tax, estate tax, partnership and other business taxes administered by the Division of Taxation and to submit payments for any return and/or payment, including estimated payments which have either an original or extended due date occurring on or after March 12, 2010 and on or before May 11, 2010. If the IRS further extends the filing deadline for federal tax purposes, the deadline for New Jersey returns and payments will also be extended.

I'm not sure about other states, but if you live in one that was affected by the storms, you may want to check.
