Hi AmyC, thanks for your prompt response. I found the following information on IRS January 10, 2023 Tax Relief announcement for victims of the severe storms in California. As you can see there is language covering quarterly estimated tax payments although not that specific. I also managed to talk to an IRS agent ([phone number removed]). Although she is not familiar with the announcement but after some research told me per her understanding the 1st three quarterly payments (April, June and September) can be paid on October 16, 2023 per the IRS announcement. Unfortunately I did not record her ID number. Anyway, do you think I should go ahead to pay per the original schedule? Thanks again.
"In addition, farmers who choose to forgo making estimated tax payments and normally file their returns by March 1 will now have until Oct. 16, 2023 to file their 2022 return and pay any tax due. The Oct. 16, 2023, deadline also applies to the quarterly estimated tax payments, normally due on Jan. 17, 2023 and April 18, 2023. This means that individual taxpayers can skip making the fourth quarter estimated tax payment, normally due Jan. 17, 2023, and instead include it with the 2022 return they file, on or before Oct. 16".
