The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has postponed the tax filing and tax payment deadline for most California taxpayers to November 16, 2023. This extension applies to individuals and businesses in 55 of California’s 58 counties except for Lassen, Modoc, and Shasta counties.
The extension is due to the severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides that affected California in early 2023. The IRS is providing this relief to help taxpayers who were impacted by these disasters.
Taxpayers who qualify for the extension will have until November 16, 2023, to file their 2022 tax returns and pay any tax due. They will also have until November 16, 2023, to make estimated tax payments for 2023.
Taxpayers who are unsure whether they qualify for the extension should visit the IRS website or call the IRS Disaster Hotline at 1-800-563-4672.
