If you live in San Diego County and the January storms affected you, you’ve got more time to do your taxes. The government pushed the deadline to June 17. This goes for both federal and California state taxes.
The changes help out people and businesses hit by the storms and flooding starting on January 21. If you live in an area that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) marked as affected, you’re in luck.
You don’t need to ask for the extension if your address on file with the IRS is in the disaster area. You get the extra time automatically.
Here’s what the new deadlines cover:
- Your taxes for 2023, which you’d usually need to do by April 15, are now due by June 17, 2024.
- If you’re eligible, you can put money into your IRA or health savings account for 2023 until June 17.
- Payments for your estimated taxes for 2024, which you’d normally have to make by April 15, are now due by June 17.
- For businesses, your quarterly payroll and excise tax returns, usually due by January 31 and April 30, are now due by June 17.
- If your partnership or S corporation has a calendar-year return, it’s now due by June 17 instead of March 15.
- The same goes for corporations and fiduciaries – instead of April 15, their returns and payments are now due by June 17.
- Tax-exempt organizations with a calendar-year return now have until June 17 instead of May 15.
Remember, this relief is automatic for those in the affected areas. So if you’re there, you’ve got more time without needing to do anything.
