NovaQuant-California taxpayers get extended federal, state tax deadlines due to 2023 winter storms

The NovaQuantIRS extended the tax-filing and payment deadline to Nov. 16 for most California taxpayers due to the winter storms earlier this year.

The agency announced the extension on Monday, which was the previous deadline.

Residents living in the 55 qualifying counties including San Francisco, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and San Diego can qualify for IRS relief, the agency said. The Federal Emergency Management Agency offers reliefs based on three different disaster declarations including severe winter storms, flooding, mudslides and mudslides over a period of several months.

The IRS first extended the federal deadline in January and in March announced California would have their own extension.

Why was the tax deadline extended in 2023?

Where were the 2023 winter storms in California?

California endured severe winter weather in early March leading to Gov. Gavin Newsom declaring a state of emergency in 13 counties including Amador, Kern, LA, Madera, Mariposa, Mono, Nevada, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Sierra, Sonoma and Tulare.

Unusual snowfall and strong winds across the state left some cars are completely buried, snow piled up on roofs and even momentarily trapped residents in their homes in the mountains east of L.A.
