Individual Federal Tax Return Extension
Keep in mind…
an extension is an extension to file, not to pay.
You must pay your tax in full by the tax deadline. If you’re not sure of how much you will owe, you should pay 100% of prior year taxes to avoid a late payment penalty.
Here are a few things you should know about a federal tax extension:
-
A federal tax extension is an extension to file, not to pay.
-
You are required to pay your tax balance by the tax deadline.
-
You can still file an extension even if you don’t pay your taxes.
-
If you don’t pay your full balance by the tax deadline, the IRS may assess a Late Payment penalty and interests.
-
You should e-file your extension before the tax deadline.
-
If you will be mailing your extension request, complete Form 4868 and send Certified Mail by the tax deadline. About Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return | (irs.gov)
