IRS tax extension forms are applications for automatic extensions of time to file certain information returns. They provide organizations, business entities, as well as individuals with more time to file their income tax returns, if needed. As these extensions are automatic you do not have to provide the IRS with a valid reason for requesting an extension. As long as you fill the form properly and file it to the IRS by the original tax deadline your extension
will be approved.
Any person, business entity, or organization can e-file for a tax extension. All you have to do is create a free account with ExpressExtension to get started and select the right form.
There are times, an individual or business entity can fail to file their income tax return by their original filing date, which may lead to penalties and interest from the IRS. The penalties differ based off of what type of return you've failed to file. IRS Tax extensions allow you to avoid facing these penalties by providing you with more time to file. Keep in mind that IRS Tax Extensions are due by the original tax deadline.
Note: IRS Tax Extension forms only extend the amount of time you have to file your taxes, not to pay them. Any payment owed to the IRS must be paid in full by the original tax deadline.
