Delinquent Tax Returns

Taxpayers should file all tax returns that are due, regardless of whether or not full payment can be made with the return. Even if taxes are owed, a taxpayer may qualify for a payment plan.

• Failure to file a return or filing late can be costly. If taxes are owed, penalty and interest charges can increase your tax bill by 25 percent or more.
• If you delay filing, you can lose your refund.  Tax returns must be filed within a specified period of time.
• If you are self-employed, you must file returns reporting self-employment income within three years of the due date in order to receive Social Security credits toward your retirement.

NOTE: Taxpayers who fail to file a required return and fail to respond to tax agency requests for a return may be considered for a variety of legal actions.  Flagrant nonfilers or repeat nonfilers may be subject to additional penalties and/or criminal prosecution. 

An individual must file a return if either their gross income or their adjusted gross income (AGI) was more than the minimum amount defined by law.

Part-Year residents must file a return if they have any income taxable by California, which includes income from all sources while a resident and California source income while a nonresident.

Nonresidents must file a return if they have any California source income and their income from all sources is more than the filing requirement amounts for residents.
