State of California Business Income Tax Extensions – Tax Year 2009

E-file an IRS business tax extension with FileLater.

 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The State of California will automatically grant your business an income tax extension. However, you will need to submit a California tax extension form if you need to make a state tax payment. If you do not need to make a tax payment and have received an approval notification from FileLater, there’s nothing more to do.

Corporations: Corporations (in good standing) that have fully paid their tax liability but cannot file their return by the due date receive an automatic seven-month extension to file the return. Since the extension is automatic, there is no extension request form. If the corporation owes tax, it should submit Form FTB 3539 (PDF) (Payment Voucher for Automatic Extension for Corporations and Exempt Organizations) with payment by the original return due date. Source: CA,gov

LLCs, LPs, LLPs, and REMICs: If a limited liability company (LLC) cannot file Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of income, by the due date, the LLC is granted an automatic six-month extension.

Filing a California tax extension will not provide you with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by your original filing deadline or interest and other payment penalties may apply.

For additional information, please visit the State of California Franchise Tax Board website.
