CA tax deadline extended for those impacted by winter storms

California extended the state tax filing and payment due dates to Oct. 16 for Californians impacted by this winter's storms. This follows the IRS federal tax filing deadline extension to Oct. 16, implemented for the same reason.

"As communities across the state continue recovering from the damage caused by the winter storms, California is working swiftly to help recovering Californians get back on their feet," Gov. Gavin Newsom said. "The state is aligning with the Biden Administration and extending the tax filing deadline in addition to the tax relief announced earlier this year." 

Last month, Newsom announced that those impacted by winter storms could claim a deduction for disaster loss, and extended filing and payment deadlines for individuals and businesses in California to May 15. 

The tax relief applies to nearly all of the state's 58 counties, including Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego
counties. Imperial County in the southeastern part of the state is not included. 

The relief applies to deadlines falling on or after Jan. 8, 2023, and before Oct. 16, 2023, including the 2022 individual income tax returns that would have been due on April 18 and the quarterly estimated tax payments that would have been due on Jan. 17 and April 18, 2023. 

California announced the extension Thursday. The IRS announced its extension in January.
