File IRS Form 7004 Today!
Business Tax Extension Form 7004 is the application for the extension of time to file business income tax and other information returns. As long as businesses correctly fill out this form and transmit to the IRS up until midnight the day of the March 15th deadline in their local time zone they’ll receive an automatic extension of up to 7 months to file.
The great this about IRS Form 7004 is the fact that it is automatic. This means that the filing process to get your extension approved only takes a few minutes because you don’t have to provide the IRS with a valid reason for needing your extension. You simply have to submit it by the deadline. However, the earlier you file Form 7004 the better, for peace of mind.
Form 7004 is used as a way to give yourself more time to file if you need more time to gather information or if you’re just too busy to file right now. Plus, this extension will allow you to file later
without getting hit with IRS penalties.
The penalties for failing to file differ based off of what type of business entity your business is. However, each of the penalties do grow larger on a monthly basis until you file.
Also, the length of the extension you receive varies based off of your business type and tax year. For example:
– C-Corporations with tax years ending on December 31st receive an automatic 6-month extension.
– 5 ½ month extensions are given to certain estates and trusts.
– 6-month extension 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 an automatic 7-month extension.
Important: Form 7004 doesn’t extend the amount of time you have to pay your taxes. Any amount owed to the IRS must be paid in full by the original tax deadline.
