IRS Form 7004 Is Due Today
It’s time to file! The IRS business tax return deadline was March 15th, until the deadline was extended due to Winter Storm Stella until March 20th, which is today. If you need more time to file, don’t worry, we’re here to help at ExpressExtension with IRS Form 7004.
IRS Form 7004
Business Tax Extension Form 7004 is the application for businesses to receive more time to file their business tax and other information returns. Simply by correctly filling out the form and transmitting it to the IRS by the extended March 20th deadline, you’ll automatically receive an extension of up to 7 months to file.
Because IRS Form 7004 is automatic you can receive your extension in a matter of minutes. The IRS no longer requires a valid reason for needing an extension or a signature, so you can literally e-file it in little to no time.
It doesn’t matter why you need more time to file. Maybe you’re out of time, maybe you want to plan ahead, maybe you need more time to gather your information. Either way, your extension will automatically be approved.
The penalties for not filing your business tax returns in time are pretty steep. Interest accrues on the amount you owe the IRS on a monthly basis until you file your return and pay your tax bill. IRS 7004 provides businesses with a way to get around these penalties by giving them more time to file.
Important: Business Tax Extension Form 7004 only extends the time to file, not to pay your tax bill. Any payments owed to the IRS must be fully paid by the original tax deadline. In this case, the deadline is March 20, 2017.
The length of the extension you receive depends on your business type and tax year.
– 6-month automatic extensions are given to C-Corporations with tax years ending December 31st.
– Certain estates and trusts receive automatic 5 ½ month extensions.
– 6-month extensions are given for forms in Part I and IV whose tax year doesn’t end on December 31 or June 30, as well as other forms.
– C-Corporations with tax years ending on June 30th receive automatic 7-month extensions.
