Question
Los Angeles county disaster filing extension to file and pay / processing by California
California has been issuing penalty letters for late file and pay unless they can verify that a taxpayer is in the disaster area. Verification is accomodated by entering code 157 in your tax preparation software for electronically filed tax returns. According to proconnect support there is no input for this and no plan to add this input. Result is penalty letters and required calls to California Franchise Tax Board to verify. Disappointing! If anyone has a workaround, please share.
