I have a CA resident who works in remotely CA for an AZ company. Received a W2 with AZ withholding & AZ wages. He lives in a CA storm area, so CA & IRS due date is now October 16. He will receive a refund from AZ. How do I make Lacerte e-file a AZ Form 204? I receive Fatal Diagnostic Warning: e-file: When electronic filing an extension, the State of Arizona requires an amount due and for the amount to be paid electronically via direct debit. (ref. 52389). I would rather not put $1 payment in to force the e-file if possible.

Does AZ recognize the extension period?

If not, you should advise the client to full pay any amount due to AZ with the extension.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I doubt AZ recognizes our Winter Storms Disaster Declarations. What my problem is, he won't owe anything to AZ, his AZ income is a fraction of his total income....very large inherited IRA distributions & his wife's wages are CA wages and his wife also has an inheritance with a K-1 coming. Lacerte isn't allowing me to e-file an AZ extension with a $0 balance due.

When all else fails, Paper file the no tax due extension.

Doesn't AZ have automatic state extension when filing a federal extension like CA does?

-Maybe file your federal extension (even if in disaster area) so that the state of AZ will accept? I assume no AZ tax is due.

As that recent IRS notice about filing 2019 amended returns pointed out, what IRS does in disaster areas is a "postponement," not an "extension," although in many places the words are used interchangeably. But there's nothing wrong with filing a federal extension today, just to be safe.
