The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have announced that taxpayers affected by the January 2023 winter storms in California will have until October 16, 2023 to file and pay their personal taxes. The extension also includes business tax filings.
The taxpayer must live in a county that has been declared a disaster area by FEMA. All other counties must adhere to the April 18, 2023 filing and payment deadline.
The following counties qualify for disaster relief:
- Alameda, Alpine, Amador, Butte
- Calaveras, Colusa, Contra Costa
- Del Norte, El Dorado, Fresno
- Glenn, Humboldt, Inyo
- Kings, Lake, Los Angeles
- Madera, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Merced, Mono, Monterey

- Yolo, and Yuba counties
Any others who reside or have a business outside those areas can call the IRS disaster hotline at 866-562-5227 to request the same tax relief at the federal level.
If you receive a notice from the IRS regarding any payments due by June 26, 2023, and you live in one of the disaster counties, you may disregard the notice. The IRS has issued a statement regarding notices sent to California taxpayers.
