The IRS Form 7004 is the official document that businesses can file in order to receive an additional 5 to 6 months to file a tax return. This form can be used by many different business types such as: Multi-Member LLCs, C-Corporations, S-Corporations, Partnerships, Trusts, and Estates.

The quickest method of filing this form is by using ExpressExtension.com. The IRS has authorized ExpressExtension as an official E-File Provider for Forms 7004, 4868, & 8868. The E-File option for this form allows businesses to easily file this form in minutes from anywhere.

All that is needed to file this form is a basic knowledge of the business as well as its official tax status. Most of this information can be found on a previous year’s tax return as long as that information has not changed. Important data such as the official business type and also the specific IRS tax return type needs to be entered in this Form. If you are unsure of this information, please check a previous return or a tax professional.

An estimation of taxes is also required.  A Tax Extension only extends the amount of time to file a tax return with the IRS, not the tax payment itself. The IRS will still expect the full tax payment to be made by the traditional deadline. The tax estimation must also be accurate. The IRS may impose harsh penalties if the tax payment is significantly less than the actual amount due according to the final return.

When E-Filing this tax extension through Express Extension, there is an option to pay the estimated tax amount online through an Electronic Funds Withdrawal, or EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System). Businesses are required to pay all of the taxes up front. The IRS will impose penalties and Interest on any business that pays less than the estimated tax amount.

ExpressExtension can also be used to file Personal Tax Extensions with Form 4868, and Non-Profit Tax Extensions with Form 8868. Express Extension lives up to its name in terms of speed; once a return is submitted, it is typically accepted within minutes of filing.

The deadline to file personal tax returns with the IRS for the 2012 Tax Season has been extended to Tuesday, April 17, 2012. The traditional deadline of April 15 falls on a Sunday this year. Since April 15th falls on a weekend, the official deadline had to be changed. It could not be the following Monday (April 16) either due to the fact that April 16th is Emancipation Day. Emancipation Day is considered to be a holiday for the District of Columbia, and Federal Law declares that agencies such as the IRS must observe such holidays of the District of Columbia.

This will be the second year in a row in which the deadline for most tax returns will not be on the traditional deadline of April 15. Tax returns were also later last year due to the Emancipation Day holiday.

The same deadline applies to anyone filing a Personal Tax Extension as well as a normal tax return. If a Tax Extension is applied for, this does not postpone the tax payment. It only extends the time in which to file the tax return itself with the IRS.

Any taxes due must still be paid by the traditional April 15 deadline, but with a tax extension, the completed return does not need to be filed until October 15. This 6 month extension allows tax preparers and others to get the most out of any credits and refunds.

A bit about e-filing

Millions of people e-file their tax extensions every year. The IRS has a digital initiative–a push to get up to 80 percent of their forms online–and tax extensions are included in that. E-filing a federal personal tax extension with Form 4868 is quick and easy. A tax extension extends the time to file, not to pay taxes (if they are owed).

ExpressExtension.com can aid users in e-filing federal personal or business tax extensions.

April 15 is deadline for income tax return, but there’s no way your tax return done by then. What’s a procrastinator to do? File an extension, of course. But perhaps you are wondering whether this is the best option for you. Read on to find out.

You can automatically extend the April 15 due date to October 15 by filing Form 4868, “Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.” So now you have six more months to file your personal income tax return.

The nice thing about Form 4868 is that simply filing this form grants an automatic, no-questions-asked 6-month extension. You don’t have to have a reason. Just sending this form to the IRS on or before April 15 gets you the extra six months.

But here’s another important point about Form 4868: This 6-month extension is NOT an extension to pay any tax you may owe on the tax return. Form 4868 only grants an extension of time to file the tax return.
So, if you usually get a refund on your personal tax return, you are OK. But, if you think you might have a balance due, or if you are not sure, then you should go ahead and prepare the return to the best of your ability, do the calculations, and see where you stand.

If you are getting a refund, great. If you’re not in a hurry to get the refund, then file the extension form and wait until October 15 to send in the return. But if you have a balance due on the return, then you should send in your balance due with Form 4868. That way you avoid any penalty and interest for late payment of tax.
When October 15 rolls around, you send in the return, showing the Form 4868 payment as a credit. The end result is this: you paid your tax on time (April 15), and you filed your tax return legally late (October 15) because you filed the extension form on time.

Obviously, the key here is whether or not you have a balance due on your return. If you have a balance due, but don’t send in the payment with Form 4868, then you will have penalty and interest charges for paying the tax after April 15.

Bottom line: Do not overlook the fact that Form 4868 does not grant you an extension of time to pay the tax. It only gives you an extension of time to file the return.
