The IRS seems to extended the tax deadline for California residents in natural disaster counties. Does this mean both federal and state taxes do not have to be filed until October? https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia

Yes, the IRS has extended the filing deadline for California residents to October 16, 2023, to file their individual income tax returns.  The extension was granted for Disaster areas taxpayers in California, Alabama, and Georgia.

 

According to the IRS website, The additional relief has been postponed until Oct. 16, with various tax filing and payment deadlines, including those for most calendar-year 2022 individual and business returns. This includes Individual income tax returns, originally due on April 18; Various business returns, normally due on March 15 and April 18; and returns of tax-exempt organizations, normally due on May 15."

 

Also, for California residence, the IRS has limited the extension to certain areas,  individuals and households affected by severe winter storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides that reside or have a business in Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Del Norte, El Dorado, Fresno, Glenn, Humboldt, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Lake, Los Angeles, Madera, Mariposa, Mendocino, Merced, Mono, Monterey, Napa, Nevada, Orange, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Sierra, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Trinity, Tulare, Tuolumne and Yuba counties qualify for tax relief.

 

The extension also allows eligible taxpayers to make 2022 contributions to their IRAs and health savings accounts until October 16.

Thank you! So i do not need to file an extension? I can just submit between now and October 16th and I will not be penalized in anyway, even if it shows that I owe taxes instead of getting a refund?
