What is CA Form 3872?
Form FTB 3872 is used to request an additional relief period if the state postponement period ends before the federal one. This applies to ‘impacted taxpayers’—those who qualify for relief under R&TC Section 18572(a) or (b), but did not file or pay before the California deadline.
To qualify, the taxpayer must:
- Request relief
- Submit documentation upon request by the FTB
