As taxpayers, it's crucial to stay informed about changes and updates that affect our financial responsibilities. We understand that recent automated estimated payment reminder notifications from our software provider, SafeSend, as well as discrepancies in our tax return letters, which include the original, un-extended deadlines may have caused confusion regarding payment deadlines.
We are here to provide clarity and assure you that the 2022 balances due and 2023 estimates (Q1, Q2, Q3 & PTE (CA)) for Federal and California tax returns are not required to be paid until October 16, 2023.
In addition, it has come to our attention that some taxpayers are receiving automated CP-14 balance due notices related to their filed-but-not-yet-paid 2022 returns. It is not uncommon for discrepancies and errors like this to occur with the IRS, especially when the extension has been provided for select counties and jurisdictions. However, rest assured that the official extended deadline for 2022 tax balances and 2023 Q1, Q2 and Q3 estimates is October 16, 2023 (including CA PTE). The IRS has tweeted an apology to California taxpayers who received these notices and has reiterated the extended deadlines to file and pay remain.
