California Extends Tax Filing Deadline for Storm Victims
Automatic 6-Month Extension Granted
In response to the severe winter storms, flooding, and mudslides that have devastated California, the state has extended the tax filing deadline for affected victims. Taxpayers who reside in a federally declared disaster area are now eligible for an automatic six-month extension to file their returns.
Avoid Penalties by Filing by the Deadline
Important Note:
It is crucial for taxpayers to file their returns by the extended deadline to avoid any penalties or interest charges. The deadline for filing and paying taxes without penalty for victims residing in federally declared disaster areas is now [Extended Deadline].
Utilize Payment Voucher for Automatic Extension
Taxpayers who owe taxes and are unable to file by the extended deadline can use the Payment Voucher for Automatic Extension for Individuals (FTB 3519). By submitting the payment voucher, taxpayers can automatically receive a six-month extension to file their return. It is important to note that the payment voucher is only an extension to file, not to pay taxes owed.
State and Federal Partnership for Assistance
California is working closely with the IRS to provide support to taxpayers affected by the storms. Victims can visit the IRS website for more information on disaster-related tax relief and assistance programs.
