And I found out that California is different than all the other states. I paid my penalty and that's that. I'm not going to learn the same lesson twice as I won't make the same mistake twice. But my only goal of posting this warning was to prevent other hapless Californians from making the mistake I made. So, if you're in any other state, don't do anything unsafe (like drive at 90 mph just to get to the Post Office by midnight) to file your taxes "on time" as it matters not if you've paid the full tax with those payroll deductions by the 31st of Dec of the tax year or if you've met a few other loopholes regarding the tax you paid relative to the tax you owed the prior year. My suggestion is, only in California, answer the demand notice or California will screw you to the wall. California may tax you more than any other state in the nation & California certainly wastes more money than any other state in the nation, but they sure do know how to collect your money! :) Thanks in advance for any help, Vicki
