Greetings‚
Tax season can be a stressful time of year‚ and this year’s winter storms have only added to the challenges. However‚ the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the state of California have some good news for eligible residents and businesses affected by the storms.
If you live in one of the eligible disaster zones and were directly impacted by the winter storms‚ you may be eligible for an extension on your federal and state tax filing and payment due dates. The extended due date for federal and state taxes is now October 16‚ 2023.
It’s essential to note your eligibility when filing your tax returns or working with your tax professional to take advantage of this extension. The IRS and state of California recommend that those who are unable to file by the new deadline consider filing for an extension to avoid penalties or interest charges. Click here to learn more.
