Section 18567 - Automatic Extension of Time for Filing Returns by Individuals, Fiduciaries, and Partnerships(a) For returns by individuals, fiduciaries, and partnerships required to be filed on or after April 15, 1992, the Franchise Tax Board will allow an automatic six-month extension to file if the return is filed within six months of the original due date. No written request is required. The extension time period for fiscal and calendar year taxpayers is the original due date plus six months. This granting of the extension is conditioned solely upon the filing of a return within the automatic extension period. If the return is not filed within six months of the original due date, no extension is allowed. This extension to file is not an extension of time to pay. Tax is due on the original due date of the return without regard to the extension to file.
(b) A delinquency penalty under Section 19131 (failure to file a return) will not be imposed on any return filed by the extended due date. However, if the return is not filed within six months of the original due date, no valid extension exists under subsection (a), and the penalty amount will be computed by reference to the original due date of the return.Cal.
