Following the IRS' lead, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that most Californians won't have to pay their state taxes until Oct. 16. The delay is available to residents in Los Angeles and 50 other counties covered by a federal emergency declaration.
Good news for most Californians who owes taxes to the federal or state government: The deadline for filing your return and paying what you owe has been pushed back to October.covered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s emergency declaration. That includes Los Angeles, Ventura and San Diego counties. FEMA’s action came in response to the severe winter storms that caused floods, landslides and mudslides between Dec. 27 and Jan. 31.
The relief will be offered automatically to anyone whose address on file at the IRS is in a disaster area — no need to ask for help or alert the agency that you’ll be filing late. If the IRS sends you a penalty notice anyway because you missed a deadline that should have been waived, the agency advises you to call the number on the notice to have the penalty erased.
Even better for businesses and other filers who pay estimated or interim taxes, quarterly payroll taxes and excise taxes, or pass-through entity elective taxes — all such payments due before October have been postponed as well. You can make them when you file your annual return on or before Oct. 16.
