This what the diagnostic is saying that prevents me from filing an extension for California.

When filing an extension, the State of California requires an amount due and for the amount to be paid electronically via direct debit. CA - Ref #47293

What does this mean?

Sorry, no idea what the joke is. 

Would appreciate confirmation on my last comment.

Thanks.


I was referring to George's comment.

If the $ 800 for the FYE has been paid, then yes.  Extend, & get the current year $ 800 paid.

Are you making a payment with this extension?

Nothing due for the tax year, which is 10/1/2021 to 9/30/2022 (C corp), but still wanting to make the payment for the $800 estimate for the next year.

So I guess no need to file an extension, and I can pay the $800 estimate for the following year online.

CA gives automatic extension. You only file for an extension IF YOU OWE MONEY.

I figured if they were trying to file extension before the season officially opens, then they needed a bit of chumming to get a bite. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

P.S. I am still chuckling over the bagger comments.
