Tax Day: We Really Mean It This Next Time

Pajaro, CA on March 11th (Axios)

This tax season has been a procrastinator's dream. San Mateo and 54 other California counties were affected by last winter's floods, and all their residents' 2022 tax returns were automatically extended to October 16th by both the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board.

Today the IRS gave notice that the deadline was extended another month to November 16th. The agency wouldn't have done it unless there were substantial numbers of people who needed the time.

California hasn't yet conformed, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Franchise Tax Board announces its own extension in a few hours.

Update: Yup
