My situation is a little different  ... hopefully someone out there can help.  My client passed away in 2022 and I'm trying to file for an extension of time to file.  I'm located in CA.  The state of CA doesn't accept extensions unless there is tax owed and it's paid electronically.  Well there is no tax due for either the Fed or State returns. But I'm filing because I want my clients final return to be totally accurate and complete but need a little more information from the executor. It appears the Federal Form 4868 has to be Paper Filed when there's a deceased individual.  Can anyone out there verify that's TRUE?

Thanks!!!
