Question

My employer under withheld both Fed and CA tax and I owe a significant amount. Do I still get the same safe harbor rules if I pay nothing on my extension filing?

I paid in for both CA and Fed 100% of my 2017 tax liability

The extension is for filing taxes only not for payment.

When you do an extension you need to pay the taxes that you think are due or you can get a penalty for failure to pay plus interest.
