The following modifications apply to the original tax relief victims of severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides in California. The relief period for making tax payments and return filing has been extended from December 27, 2022, through May 15, 2023. Previously, the extension was from January 8, 2023, through May 15, 2023, in the original relief.
In addition, counties listed in CA-2023-02 are included below and the list of counties has been revised in the new announcement. The relief now covers 28 counties.

Once again, the relief applies to deadlines that fall within the relief period and covers:
- Estimated tax payments

- Making contributions to IRAs and health savings accounts
- Deadlines listed in Revenue Procedure 2018-58 (e.g. IRC §1031 deadlines)
