Is there an automatic extension for taxes in California?

State Income Tax (Franchise Tax Board) If you cant file by April 15, you have an automatic six-month extension to file your return until October 15.

Does California get an automatic extension?

Did the IRS extend the tax deadline for 2025 in California?

Accordingly, certain deadlines falling on or after Jan. 7, 2025, and before Oct. 15, 2025, are postponed until Oct. 15, 2025. As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until Oct. 15, 2025, to file returns and pay any taxes that were originally due during this period.

Can I get another tax extension after October 15?

Unlike the automatic six-month extension granted in April, the IRS typically does not offer further extensions beyond October 15 for personal tax returns. This deadline represents the absolute cutoff for most filers. Missing it can result in late-filing penalties and interest charges that accumulate over time.
