If you are facing problems paying California State taxes, the State, just like the IRS, offers solutions to not only extend a filing, but also a payment, with an Installment Agreement if you cannot pay your taxes in full. In rare cases, the Franchise Tax Board will consider an Offer In Compromise (a rare but way of actually paying less than you owe).

CA Installment Agreement (Payment Plan)

California does offer Installment Agreements if you cannot pay in full. It encourages you to borrow the funds from a private source (friend, bank, etc) before requesting a tax installment agreement. You can request an Installment agreement if you owe less than $25k, you have filed your returns, and you can pay off the Installment Agreement in 60 months or less. In certain situations, according to the State of California Franchise Tax Board, a lien could be filed on your property. Most likely, the lien is placed in order to ensure that the Installment Agreement is paid off. If you owe more than $10k and your installment agreement is longer than 36 months, you will need to prove financial hardship. You can read more and request an Installment Agreement via the CA.gov website. Realize that their is a $20 fee to setup this Installment agreement. To read about more details visit the former link.

Offer In Compromise

In rare cases, an Offer In Compromise is a possibility with California's Franchise Tax Board. You can potentially qualify if you, according to CFTB, do "not have the income, assets, or means, to pay your tax liability now or in the foreseeable future." What the Offer in Compromise programs allow you to do is basically pay an amount now that is less than you owe. In order to qualify, the CA FTB will be looking at a taxpayers assets, current and future income and expenses, his or her ability to pay, and whether an offer is the most beneficial for the California given the circumstances. You can read more about the program here in order to understand the details.

CA Tax Filing Extensions

There is no need to file an extension in California, as taxpayers automatically get filing extensions till October 15th. All you need to do is file by October 15th. Realize that this is not an extension to pay, but an extension to file. Figure out what you owe and pay it by 4/15 in order to avoid incurring additional penalties and interest.
