How to file a tax extension step by step

Need more time to file taxes this season? With IRS Form 4868, you can file for an extension from the Internal Revenue Service. It’s important to keep in mind that this extension only gives you more time to file, not pay your tax bill. To file an extension, submit Form 4868 by the original tax deadline. Then, you’ll get an extra six months to file your full income tax return. Learn more about filing Form 4868 and tax filing extensions. Learn more about how to file an IRS tax extension.
