IRS Form 4868
The only thing standing between you and getting six extra months to file your personal income tax return is Personal Tax Extension Form 4868, which is the application for individual and joint taxpayers to receive an automatic extension to file their income tax return.
E-filing Form 4868 is incredibly quick and easy, all you have to do is complete your form and transmit it to the IRS by the April 18th deadline to instantly receive your 6-month extension, pushing your deadline back to October 16th.
Form 4868 provides automatic extensions for IRS Forms 1040, 1040A, 1040-EZ, 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ, 1040-PR, and 1040-SS.
Also, Form 4868 provides tax extensions for Schedule C sole Proprietors, Single Member LLCs, and 1099 contractors.
Don’t wait around for a gimmick, because there isn’t one. It really is that easy to get an extension. Plus, this extension is automatic, meaning that you don’t have to provide the IRS with a reason for needing an extension.
If you need more time to file, then why not spend a minute e-filing Extension Form 4868? It’s the no-brainer way to avoid getting hit with annoying failure to file penalties from the IRS.
If you don’t file your return by the deadline you’ll face a fee of 5% of the unpaid taxes for every month and part of the month that your return is late. This includes up to 25% of the unpaid tax. Then if your return is over 60 days late the minimum penalty is $135 or 100% of your unpaid tax, depending on which is smaller.
Note: Keep in mind that IRS Form 4868 doesn’t extend the amount of time you have to pay your taxes. Any amount owed to the IRS must be paid by the original tax deadline.
