since EDP state k-1 released after 4-15, do I have to delay filing both Fed and state tax?

[thezhaofamily]

I am a California resident and receive k-1 from EPD. Since EDP's California state K-1 always released after 4-15, my question is:

1. should I file my both Fed and California state tax return without California state k-1 information?

2. or, should I wait until I got California state k-1 then include this information in my tax return?

thanks

If you file your returns before the K-1 is issued, you will likely have to amend the returns. If an extension is needed to wait for the K-1, you need to know that it is an extension of time to file and not to pay. This means you could incur some penalties for late payment of your taxes. To avoid this, you should complete the returns as much as you can. You can estimate the information on the K-1 and pay any taxes that are estimated to be due. Then, when you get the final K-1, complete your tax returns and file them. The final K-1 should be available by September 15th and your extension is good till October 15th.
