（KCRA）It's Tax Day. What Californians need to know about filing

这是税收截止日。加州人需要知道的信息

Monday is the tax deadline. If you are one of the millions in California who have procrastinated, the Franchise Tax Board has some advice that can help you avoid interest or penalties.

星期一是缴税的截止日期。如果你是加州数百万拖延症患者中的一员，Franchise Tax Board有一些建议可以帮助你避免利息或罚款。

"Don't panic! Everyone who hasn't filed will get an automatic extension until Oct. 15, but if you owe any money, you will have to pay by May 17," said Daniel Tahara with the Franchise Tax Board said.

“别慌!所有没有提交申请的人都将获得10月15日之前的自动延期，但如果你有拖欠的税款，你必须在5月17日之前付款。”

About 4 million people in California still needed to file as of Monday morning.

截至周一上午，加州仍有约400万人需要提交申请。

The Franchise Tax Board's website can help people calculate an estimate of what they owe.

特许经营税局的网站可以帮助人们估算他们所欠的税款。

If taxpayers owed money last year, chances are you owe taxes this year too.

如果纳税人去年欠了钱，那么你今年可能也欠了税。

Credit card payments can be made or you can set up a payment plan if you need to.

你可以用信用卡付款，如果需要的话，你也可以制定一个付款计划。

Tax experts say the best option now is to e-file, and the Franchise Tax Board has the free CalFile program you can take advantage of.

税务专家说，现在最好的选择是电子报税，特许经营税局(Franchise Tax Board)有一个免费的CalFile计划，你可以利用它。

For complicated tax returns, hire a tax preparer.

对于复杂的纳税申报单，雇佣一名报税员。

Officials said they still see millions of people fill out their taxes by hand and mail it in.

官员们表示，他们仍然看到数以百万计的人手工填写税款并邮寄。

"Some people like to file pen and paper because they feel it is more secure," Tahara said. "Sometimes people have a mistrust over filing their information electronically, and we do try and let those people know that actually filing on paper and mailing in your tax return is probably the worst thing you can do because there are so many different hands that it has to go through -- so many chances that it can get lost in the mail or misplaced. When you file electronically, it's getting sent directly to the Franchise Tax Board or the IRS."

Tahara 说:“有些人喜欢用纸笔归档，因为他们觉得这样更安全。”“有时候人们对电子文件有不信任，我们试着让那些人知道其实申请在纸上在你的纳税申报表和邮件，可能是最糟糕的事情,因为它可能会在邮寄过程中丢失或放错了地方。当你通过电子方式报税时，它会直接被发送到特许经营税局或国税局。”

The Franchise Tax Board is available for any tax questions you may have on Tax Day. Visit ftb.ca.gov or call 800-852-5711.

特许经营税务委员会可以为您提供任何税务问题，您可能有税务日。访问ftb.ca.gov或拨打800-852-5711。

Experts say even if people aren't required to file because income levels don't meet the threshold during the pandemic, there is extra money that could be sent to those who meet the criteria for credits.

专家说，即使人们因为收入水平在疫情期间没有达到门槛而不需要申报，也有额外的钱可以寄给那些达到信用标准的人。

How can I file for a tax extension?

我如何申请延期缴税?

If you find yourself in a position where you definitely won't be able to file your taxes by the extended deadline, you have the option of filing for an extension.

如果你发现自己在延长的最后期限前肯定无法申报纳税，你可以选择申请延期。

Anyone can file for an extension, regardless of income. However, it's important to note that getting an extension of time to file your return does not give you an extension of time to pay your taxes. Taxes are still due by the regular deadline to avoid any possible penalties.

无论收入如何，任何人都可以申请延期。然而，需要注意的是，延长申报纳税的时间并不意味着你可以延长纳税的时间。为了避免任何可能的罚款，政府仍需在规定的最后期限前缴纳税款。

The quickest way to file for an extension is to electronically request it through IRS Free File. This form extends your deadline to file to Oct. 15, but to get the extension, you will have to estimate your tax liability and pay any amount due.

申请延期的最快方法是通过美国国税局免费档案(IRS Free file)电子申请延期。这个表格将你的报税截止日期延长到10月15日，但是为了得到延期，你必须估计你的纳税义务并支付任何应付的款项。

Will I get the California stimulus check after filing my taxes?

我交完税后能拿到加州经济刺激计划支票吗?

After filing taxes, Californians who earned income tax credit (CalEITC) -- or those who earned $30,000 a year or less -- qualify for the Golden State Stimulus, which would provide them with one-time $600 payments.

缴纳完税后，获得所得税抵免(CalEITC)的加州人——或年收入不超过3万美元的人——有资格申请“金州刺激计划”，该计划将为他们提供一次性600美元的补贴。

It's possible these payments may be expanded to more Californians.

这些支付可能会扩大到更多的加州人。

On May 10, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a plan to expand the Golden State Stimulus to millions of middle-class families making between $30,000 and $75,000 -- although the Legislature still needs to approve it.

5月10日，州长加文·纽森(Gavin Newsom)宣布了一项计划，将“金州刺激计划”扩大到数百万年收入在3万至7.5万美元之间的中产阶级家庭——尽管该计划仍需得到立法机构的批准。

Eligibility for the Golden State Stimulus is determined based on your 2020 tax returns.

“金州刺激计划”的资格取决于你2020年的纳税申报单。

What's the penalty for filing taxes late?

迟交税金的惩罚是什么?

If you do end up filing your taxes late, you'll be charged interest on any unpaid balance. You may also be subject to failure-to-pay and failure-to-file penalties.

如果你最终晚交了税，任何未付的余额都会被收取利息。你也可能会受到未付款和未提交文件的处罚。

Currently, the interest rate for taxpayers who fail to file is the federal short-term rate plus 3%.

目前，未申报的纳税人的利率是联邦短期利率加上3%。

If you don't pay your tax by the due date, you'll be hit with the failure-to-pay penalty, which includes a 0.5% penalty of the tax owed after the due date for each month the tax remains unpaid, but will only go up to 25%.

如果你没有在到期日之前缴纳税款，你将会被罚款，其中包括在到期日之后，每个月仍未缴纳税款的0.5%罚款，但最多只会增加25%。

The failure-to-file penalty goes to people who filed after the due date or extended due date. The penalty is 5%of the unpaid taxes for each month, but won't exceed 25% of unpaid taxes.

逾期未提交的罚款是针对那些在到期日之后或延期到期日提交的人。罚款为每月未缴税款的5%，但不得超过未缴税款的25%。
