Relax, friends. You have a few extra days to file this year. April 15 falls on a weekend. The next weekday is April 17, but that is Emancipation Day, a holiday in Washington DC. So the IRS deadline for federal filing is Tuesday, April 18.
Come to think of it, the folks in the photo look like they are pretty relaxed about it. I guess that means they already knew of the later deadline this year.

And because of the rain in February all Californians were extended until Oct. 15.
Almost right. The news story says that the California extension is for 51 counties. There are 58 counties in California, so that means those in seven counties in California (those not affected by flooding, basically) still have an April 18th filing deadline.

Good point. The guys in the picture, being in LA, are home free until October 15.

The seven excluded counties can be found listed here (mostly very rural, northern counties I believe; the brunt of the rain was on the coast near San Francisco and further south):

I filed them on the 4th. Kind of let it get away from me. And, I'm getting a refund!!
DFPaul has it right...my CPA told me to chill, no extension needed, no penalty for late (sort of) filing. Best Wishes, Traveller
The two men seem to like posing for the photograph 🙂
