If you received an IRS notice asking you to pay your 2022 tax due within 21 days, and live in one of the federally declared disaster zones, you can ignore the notice in most cases**. The IRS recently tweeted an apology for the confusion they caused:

For most Californians, and for those using a tax preparer in California, your 2022 tax is not due until October 16, 2023.
** If you receive a notice that erroneously assesses a late-payment or late-filing penalty, do not ignore that. You must then contact the IRS at the number listed on the notice to request an abatement of the penalty.

Due to the rise in tax-related identity theft, the IRS recommends you apply for an identity protection PIN at https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin . The IP PIN is a six digit number assigned to you to prevent someone else from filing a fraudulent tax return using your social. The PIN is valid for one year only. You must first apply for a “ID.ME” userid if you do not already have one. The ID.ME account does not expire, and is also useful in obtaining other information from the IRS, such as balances due and copies of your tax return transcripts.

Due to the numerous winter storms, taxpayers in most counties within California now have until October 16, 2023 to file most individual and business tax returns and make tax payments. This extended deadline is automatic, and applies to all but three CA counties (Lassen, Modoc, and Shasta). This relief includes individual tax returns that were due on April 18, as well as various 2022 business returns normally due between March 15 and April 18. The new deadline also applies to the 2023 estimated tax payments.
Nonetheless, we recommend you still file your tax returns as soon as you are able, especially if you are expecting a refund.
