Tax Relief for Californians Impacted by Storms
Published: Jan 13, 2023
SACRAMENTO
– Californians impacted by winter storms are now eligible to claim a
deduction for a disaster loss and will have more time to file their
taxes.
“Whether it’s more time to file your taxes or getting a
deduction, this tax relief will support Californians who have been
impacted by the ongoing storms battering the state,” said Governor
Newsom. “California is working swiftly to get people back on their feet
and help communities recover.”
DISASTER AREAS
Residents
and businesses in Alameda, Colusa, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Fresno,
Glenn, Humboldt, Kings, Lake, Los Angeles, Madera, Marin, Mariposa,
Mendocino, Merced, Mono, Monterey, Napa, Orange, Placer, Riverside,
Sacramento, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San
Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo,
Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus,
Sutter, Tehama, Tulare, Ventura, Yolo, and Yuba counties who have been
affected by severe winter storms, flooding and mudslides are eligible
for tax relief.
CLAIMING DISASTER LOSSES
Taxpayers
affected by a presidentially declared disaster may claim a deduction
for a disaster loss. Taxpayers may claim a disaster loss when filing
either an original or amended tax year 2022 tax return.
When
filing their return, taxpayers should write the name of the disaster in
blue or black ink at the top of their tax return to alert FTB. If
filing electronically, taxpayers should follow the software
instructions to enter disaster information. If a taxpayer receives a
late filing or payment penalty notice related to the postponement
period, they should call the number on the notice to have the penalty
abated.
Additional information and instructions are available in FTB Publication 1034, 2022 Disaster Loss: How to Claim a State Tax Deduction.
Disaster victims can receive free copies of their state returns to replace those lost or damaged.
To do so, they should use form FTB 3516 and write the name of the disaster in blue or black ink at the top of the request.
For a complete list of all disasters declared in California, see the chart on FTB’s disaster loss webpage.
TAX EXTENSION
To
help alleviate some of the stress many have endured during this trying
period, the FTB has extended the filing and payment deadlines for
individuals and businesses in California until May 15, 2023.
This
relief applies to deadlines falling on or after January 8, 2023, and
before May 15, 2023, including the 2022 individual income tax returns
due on April 18 and the quarterly estimated tax payments, typically due
on January 17, 2023 and April 18, 2023.
The IRS announced tax relief for Californians
affected by these winter storms. Taxpayers affected by these storms
qualify for an extension to May 15, 2023 to file individual and
business tax returns and make certain tax payments. This includes:
Individuals whose tax returns and payments are due on April 18, 2023.
Quarterly estimated tax payments due January 17, 2023 and April 18, 2023.
Business entities whose tax returns and payments are due on March 15, 2023
In
addition, FTB will suspend the mailing of collection notices to
affected taxpayers for the next 30 days, beginning January 13, 2023.
