November 2023 California Personal Income Tax Daily Revenue Tracker

April 15 is the normal annual personal income tax (PIT) payment deadline. For 2023, April 18 is the deadline as April 15 is a Saturday. However, the Franchise Tax Board extended the deadline in conformity with the Internal Revenue Service in response to the 2022-23 winter storms. Individuals and businesses in counties impacted by 2022-23 winter storms qualified for an extension to file and pay taxes until October 16, 2023. However, the deadline was extended until November 16, 2023.

General Fund PIT receipts for the current fiscal year (FY 2023-24) totaled $39.33 billion through October 31, which was $20.13 billion, or 33.8 percent, lower than anticipated in the 2023-24 Budget Act.

The FY 2023-24 Budget Act estimated year-to-date PIT collections at the end of November to total $66.60 billion. PIT receipts expected for these first five months of the fiscal year  represent 45.2 percent of total PIT revenues of $147.32 billion, and 27.1 percent of $246.05 billion total General Fund revenues, anticipated for the entire 2023-24 fiscal year. 

The chart below compares the running actual year-to-date total to the estimate of November PIT receipts. The total consists of PIT receipts minus refunds.
