CAextension to file, can I still e-file my state and fed returns?

[VolvoGirl]

Yes until Oct 15.  Just file as normal.

If you are asking if you can still e-file your State and Federal return without filing a CA extension, the answer is Yes.  If you filed a Federal Extension back in April, it is automatically extended.  The only time a separate CA extension is filed is if you anticipate you owe money and you are sending in a payment with it.  

If you did not file a Federal extension, you will still be able to efile.  Your return, however, will be late.  Federal penalties are based on the tax due upon filing.

If you are getting a refund there are no late fees.   If you have a tax due and you're in a california disaster area both the returns and payments are extended to Oct 16.

Great question - yes you can e-file your returns for 2022.    The filing deadline is October 16, 2023.
