How To File For A California State Income Tax Extension

California Extends Tax Filing Deadline for Californians

Automatic Extension and Payment Requirements

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is offering an automatic six-month extension to file tax returns this year. Individuals who need more time to complete their filings must request the extension by the original deadline of April 15th.

It's important to note that while the extension provides extra time to file the return, any taxes owed must still be paid by the original deadline. Failing to do so could result in penalties and interest charges.

State of California Extension

The State of California has also extended its tax filing deadline to October 15th this year. This extension applies to both individuals and businesses filing state income taxes. However, similar to the federal extension, any taxes due must still be paid by April 15th.

For those who do not owe taxes, the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) advises against mailing form FTB 3519. Instead, individuals can simply file their tax returns by October 16th, 2023, for fiscal year filers.

Benefits of Extensions

Extensions can provide taxpayers with a number of benefits, including:

• Extra time to gather necessary documents and information
• Reduced stress and anxiety related to filing taxes
• Opportunity to seek professional assistance if needed

How to Request an Extension

To request an automatic extension from the IRS, taxpayers can use Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. This form must be submitted by April 15th.

For the California extension, individuals can use Form FTB 3519, Tax Return Extension for Personal Income Tax. This form must also be submitted by April 15th.
