California Conforms To IRS Filing Extensions For California Storm Victims

The Governor’s office has announced that California will conform to the filing extensions granted by the IRS for California storm victims. This means the FTB has extended filing and payment deadlines for many individuals and businesses in California until May 15, 2023.

This relief applies to the following deadlines falling on or after January 8, 2023, and before May 15, 2023:

Individual income tax returns;
Business return filings normally due between March 15 and April 18, 2023;
Fourth and first quarter estimated tax payments due on January 17, 2023, and April 18, 2023. Individual taxpayers can skip making the fourth quarter estimated tax payment and instead include it with the 2022 return as long as the return is filed on or before May 15, 2023;
IRA and health savings account (HSA) contributions; and
Quarterly payroll and excise tax returns, normally due on January 31, 2023, and April 30, 2023.

Below is the complete press release from the Governor’s office:

2022 Pass-through Entity Elective Tax (PTE) Payment Due June 15

Beginning with the 2022 taxable year, taxpayers wanting to make election for 2022 tax year must make a pre-payment by June 15, 2022.

The amount due by June 15 is at least the greater of:

50% of the elective tax paid for the prior year;
$1,000.

Entities that did not elect to pay PTE in 2021 will pay $1,000 on June 15 to preserve the right to make the election for 2022. Entities that have elected PTE for 2021 tax year, or plan to elect if on extension, must pay in at least 50% of the final 2021 PTE tax liability. If the 2021 return is on extension, taxpayers should consider making a larger than needed estimate to provide a cushion and ensure that their estimate is equal to 50% of 2021 final PTE tax liability. There are no exceptions to the 50% of prior-year tax requirement for the June 15 payment, even if income is expected to decrease. If the June prepayment is underpaid, then the taxpayer is ineligible to make the election for that taxable year. (R&TC §19904) The June 15 payment deadline applies to both calendar- and fiscal-year taxpayers.

The remaining 2022 […]

Once You File Your Tax Return, Consider These 3 Issues

The tax filing deadline for 2021 tax returns is April 18 this year. After your 2021 tax return has been successfully filed with the IRS, there may still be some issues to bear in mind. Here are three considerations:

1. You can throw some tax records away now

You should hang onto tax records related to your return for as long as the IRS can audit your return or assess additional taxes. The statute of limitations is generally three years after you file your return. So you can generally get rid of most records related to tax returns for 2018 and earlier years. (If you filed an extension for your 2018 return, hold on to your records until at least three years from when you filed the extended return.)

However, the statute of limitations extends to six years for taxpayers who understate their gross income by more than 25%.

You should keep certain tax-related records longer. […]
