If you are asking if you can still e-file your State and Federal return without filing a CA extension, the answer is Yes.  If you filed a Federal Extension back in April, it is automatically extended.  The only time a separate CA extension is filed is if you anticipate you owe money and you are sending in a payment with it.  

 

If you did not file a Federal extension, you will still be able to efile.  Your return, however, will be late.  Federal penalties are based on the tax due upon filing.
