Because the Federal and California extended filing deadlines are available only for individuals living in areas impacted by official disaster declarations, the deadlines themselves aren't updated in the software.
The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. Therefore, taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief. However, if an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date falling within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

If you have taxes due with your return, and a penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes is calculated by TurboTax, it will ask whether you are covered by a disaster declaration and can request a waiver of the penalty.
