The FTB announced special state tax relief for taxpayers and businesses affected by Hurricane Ian. (FTB News Release (October 5, 2022))
Taxpayers and businesses in presidentially declared disaster areas are granted an extension to February 15, 2023, to file California tax returns on 2021 income and make any tax payments that would have been due between September 23, 2022, and February 15, 2023.
The relief means those affected taxpayers who would have had an October 17, 2022, tax filing deadline now have until February 15, 2023, to file. However, tax year 2021 tax payments originally due on April 18, 2022, are not eligible for the extension.
The IRS recently announced that taxpayers affected by Hurricane Ian in Florida qualify for the extension to February 15, 2023, to file certain individual and business tax returns and make certain tax payments. (IRS FL-2022-19)
The FTB automatically conforms to IRS postponement periods for presidentially declared disasters.
