Tax help available to businesses, individuals affected by wildfires

The state Board of Equalization announced Tuesday that extensions for filing, audits, billing, notices, assessments and relief from subsequent penalties are available for individuals or businesses impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.
Emergency relief for taxpayers and fee payers may include extensions for filing returns or payments, relief of interest and penalties, and copies of BOE tax records, according to a news release.  This emergency relief is available to any taxpayer or fee payer who, as a result of the recent wildfires, cannot meet tax filing and payment deadlines.  Information: (800) 400-7115, www.boe.ca.gov
