Due to the severe storm damages throughout CA, for those affected by the flooding, most counties are covered by a federal emergency declaration granting automatic additional time to file and pay taxes.  Please read the details of these provisions below.    

IRS extends tax deadlines for disaster area taxpayers in California, Alabama, and Georgia

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has indicated that taxpayers living and/or conducting their business in any of the affected counties covered by a federal emergency declaration in the State of California will have additional time to file both federal individual and business returns, as well as have more time to pay their tax bill.  Over fifty California counties are included in this group, which include Los Angeles and San Diego Counties. For a full list of affected areas, you can refer to the IRS webpage at the following link.

CA counties affected by severe winter storms

Eligible taxpayers have an automatic extension to file and time to pay until October 16^th, 2023. The IRS is granting this with no extra steps required. There’s no need to contact the agency to use this new deadline instead of the April 18^th, 2023 date. If you’re an affected taxpayer and receive any late filing or late payment penalty notices form the IRS for choosing the new deadline, the best recourse will be to call the number on the mailed IRS letter in order to have the penalty abated.

The CA Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has conformed to the IRS change. As of today, the FTB deadline to file and pay has also been extended to October 16^th, 2023. We will inform you if this changes.
