The State of California doesn't require individuals to file a separate extension form. It automatically grants taxpayers a 6-month extension of time to file their personal income tax return.
Extension Form to use
There is no state-specific form to request an extension, as the state of California automatically provides the extension of time for individuals to file their personal tax returns with the state.

Any Special Requirements?
If you are an individual residing or traveling outside the USA on April 15, 2023, the deadline to file your tax return and pay the tax is June 15, 2023. Interest will accrue from the original due date until the date of payment.
If you need additional time to file, you will be allowed a six-month extension without filing a request. To qualify for the extension, file your tax return by December 15, 2023. To avoid any late-payment penalties, pay your tax liability by June 15, 2023.
Note: When filing your tax return, write "Outside the USA on April 15, 2023," at the top of your tax return in BLUE INK, or include it according to your software's instructions.
