1. "California gives you an automatic filing extension through October 15, 2014.You don't need to apply

for one"

For complete info see: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/individuals/faq/ivr/201.shtml

2. I saw that but I thought there were some kind of special circumstances....

So I really don't have to do a thing?

3. Apparently not. If you owe tax money and don't pay it by April 15th you

will likely have to pay interest and perhaps some penalty when you do file.

Here's the extension payment form "If amount of payment is zero, do not mail this form":
