Taxpayers will have 30 days to file a state tax return or show why one is not due. For most taxpayers the deadline to file a 2019 state tax return was October 15, 2020. In addition, FTB has begun contacting more than 448,000 taxpayers who have California income, but did not file a 2019 state income tax return. Visit 2020 tax year extension to file and pay (individual) for more information about extensions to file claims for refund and other frequently asked questions. Taxpayers claiming a state refund for previous tax years can find Form 540 on FTB’s forms locator for the applicable tax year. The IRS normally has a three-year statute of limitations to file a claim for a federal tax refund. Similarly, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently announced an extension to May 17 for individual taxpayers who are due a refund on their tax year 2017 federal income tax returns. With the postponement, individual taxpayers who are due a refund may now file their return for the 2016 tax year no later than May 17, 2021, to claim their money. Tax year 2016 state income tax returns were due in 2017, so the standard four-year statute of limitations for claiming a refund would have expired on April 15 of this year. Taxpayers normally have four years to file a claim for a state tax refund in California.

“Many people who were not required to file do not realize they could have years’ worth of tax credits due to them, which could have a big impact on their finances in these challenging times.” “Individual taxpayers now have additional time to collect money owed to them on their 2016 tax returns,” said Yee. Yee today announced an extension to May 17, 2021, for individual California taxpayers to claim a refund for tax year 2016. Sacramento - State Controller and Franchise Tax Board (FTB) Chair Betty T.
