More Time for an Accurate Return
Rushing to meet a tax deadline often leads to mistakes, missed deductions, and overpaid taxes. An extension gives you the time to gather all your documents, receive late-arriving K-1s, and ensure your return is complete and accurate.
Filing an extension is straightforward and perfectly normal. We e-file it the same day you purchase, and you receive electronic confirmation from the IRS.
Important: Extension to File ≠ Extension to Pay
An extension gives you more time to file your return, but it does not extend the deadline to pay taxes owed. If you expect to owe, estimate and pay with the extension to avoid interest and penalties.
Tax Extension
- Form 4868 (individual) or Form 7004 (business)
- Same-day e-filing
- Electronic confirmation receipt
- Extends deadline by 6 months
- No audit risk increase
How It Works
Two simple steps. Your extension is filed the same day.
Purchase & Confirm Details
Complete your purchase and confirm your filing type (individual or business), entity details, and any estimated tax payment amount.
We E-File Same Day
We prepare and e-file your extension with the IRS. You receive an electronic confirmation receipt as proof of timely filing.
Key Deadlines
Extensions must be filed by the original due date. Here are the dates that matter.
Individual Returns
Original deadline: April 15. Extended deadline: October 15. Form 4868 gives you an automatic 6-month extension.
Partnerships & S Corps
Original deadline: March 15. Extended deadline: September 15. Form 7004 provides an automatic 6-month extension.
C Corporations
Original deadline: April 15. Extended deadline: October 15. Also uses Form 7004 for the automatic extension.
Estimated Payments
Extension or not, quarterly estimated tax payments are still due on their regular schedule (Apr 15, Jun 15, Sep 15, Jan 15).
State Extensions
Most states follow federal extension rules automatically. Some states require a separate state extension filing.
Late Filing Penalty
Without an extension: 5% of unpaid tax per month (up to 25%). With an extension: no late-filing penalty even if you owe.
