2022 IRA Contribution deadline for California filers

[Puddington]

IRS states for residents of Los Angeles county - "Among other things, this means that eligible taxpayers will also have until Oct. 16 to make 2022 contributions to their IRAs and health savings accounts" 

This is due to winter storms. 

But TurboTax is saying that the deadline of April 18, 2023 has passed, and it did, but the software is not allowing for an exception. 

What should I do? 

Thanks.

The program will not be written to accomodate CA residents  so simply file the return as usual up until 10/16.

Do you have a balance due on the return ?   Is the program trying to add an underpayment penalty ?

Thanks Critter. I figured it out. 

I was using IRA Calculator tool, instead of entering contribution amount. 

The TurboTax is still confusing on e-file page. The direct debit option says the date must be before April 18, then there is a info section for disaster affected area deadlines. Not clear instructions. 

This is just a feedback, not another issues to resolve. Thank you Critter!
