California State Tax Payment Due Date: When to Submit Your Payment?
The IRS has granted a significant extension for California taxpayers, providing much-needed relief in the wake of severe winter storms and natural disasters that hit the state earlier in the year. This extension applies to residents in 55 qualifying counties across California, encompassing major cities like San Francisco, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
The relief offered by the IRS is a response to three different disaster declarations related to the severe winter storms, flooding, mudslides, and other calamities that affected the state. This extension was announced on the previous tax deadline day, with California initially extending its own tax deadline after the federal deadline was extended in January.
So, what is the last day for making California state tax return payments under this extension? Residents in the qualifying counties have had their tax deadline automatically postponed to November 16, 2023, and they are not required to provide documentation proving they were directly impacted by the storms.
The IRS statement regarding this extension reads, “The Internal Revenue Service today further postponed tax deadlines for most California taxpayers to November 16, 2023. In the wake of last winter’s natural disasters, the normal spring due dates had previously been postponed to October 16. As a result, most individuals and businesses in California will now have until November 16 to file their 2022 returns and pay any tax due. Fifty-five of California’s 58 counties—all except Lassen, Modoc, and Shasta counties—qualify. IRS relief is based on three different FEMA disaster declarations covering severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides over a period of several months.”
This extension encompasses various types of returns and payments, including 2022 individual income tax returns and payments, contributions to IRAs and health savings accounts, quarterly estimated tax payments, partnership and S-corporation returns, corporate and fiduciary income tax returns, quarterly payroll and excise tax returns, and returns filed by tax-exempt organizations.
