If you need an extension of time to file your tax returns, please do one of the following:

 

1.  If you believe you will not owe please just let us know that.

​

2.  If you believe you will owe and you know that you want to pay, please let us know how much you want to pay to the IRS $_________ &/or CA $___________.

​

3.  If you want us to calculate your extension, please send us what information you have to calculate the extension as best as possible (please click the yellow box below for a list of possible items needed). 

 

If no information is provided (which is fine with us) we will assume your tax situation was similar to the prior year.  If you had any major swings in income please be sure to let us know (estimates are fine for the extension).

​

Please note that an extension extends the deadline to file your returns until October 15th, but does not extend the deadline to pay.  If you are projected to owe you generally must pay by April 15th.

 

Please either drop off your documents at our office, fax to 530-231-0284, text photos of documents to us at 530-908-1761, upload the documents to your TY24/Client Source Documents in our SmartVault portal or upload to the link on our website below:

​

When we have the extensions prepared we will provide the extension for you to mail payments. 

 

If you prefer to pay electronically you can do so at:

 

IRS - https://www.irs.gov/payments

 

California - https://www.ftb.ca.gov/online/payment_choices.shtml?WT.mc_id=HP_Banner_PaymentOptions

 

If paying electronically we do not suggest paying by credit card (if possible) as they both charge fees (> 2%) to do so.

​
