Calculations of the Stark scalar and tensor polarizabilities ${\alpha }_0$ and ${\alpha }_2$ for the 6$P_{3/2}$ state in cesium are reported, along with values of ${\alpha }_0$ for the 6$S_{1/2}$, 7$S_{1/2}$, and 6$P_{1/2}$ states. The results are in very good agreement with the latest measurements. We also used our method to calculate the Stark amplitude coefficients for the 6$S_{1/2}$-7$S_{1/2}$ transition; the results are compared with those of previous theoretical and experimental work.
