California gives an automatic 6-month extension - You must file by the state return by the CA deadline to avoid a late filing penalty. The deadline is October 17, 2022.
An extension to file your tax return is not an extension to pay. Pay the amount you owe by April 18, 2022, to avoid penalties and interest.
