Tax Deadlines Extended to October 16 for California Residents
Good News! If you live in California, due to the storms and flooding we experienced this winter, the tax deadlines have been automatically extended to October 16, 2023.
This applies to:
- Filing your 2022 Federal and California personal tax returns
- Paying your 2022 Federal and California taxes with no penalty!
- Business tax returns and payments, including LLCs, Partnerships, Trusts, Nonprofits, and Corporations
- First, second, and third quarter estimated tax payments are not due until October 16 (fourth quarter estimated taxes are still due January 15, 2024)
- Contributions to IRAs and HSAs for 2022 can be made any time before October 16
You do not need to file an extension for any of the above.
NOTE: The automatic extension applies to taxpayers living in every California county except Lassen and Shasta. If you live in one of these counties, your tax returns are still due on April 18 and you must file an extension to avoid late filing penalties if you file after this date. Taxpayers living in Modoc county have until August 15 to file and pay without penalty.
ALSO: This extension applies only to Federal and California returns. If you live in California but file a tax return in another state, you may have to get an extension for that state if you want to file after April 18. Check with your tax preparer if you are not sure!
