Need more time to file your tax return? The Request Extension Form (IRS Form 4868) gives you an automatic six‑month extension when filed correctly. With Formize’s fillable PDF you can complete the form directly in your browser—no Adobe Acrobat or other editor required.
Form 4868 is the official IRS application for an automatic extension of time to file an individual income‑tax return (Form 1040). It is simple, consists of just a few fields, and can be filed electronically or mailed to the IRS.
Follow the step‑by‑step guide below. The process is fast, secure, and works on any device.
You have two options:
Review the official IRS instructions for detailed guidance, or contact a qualified tax professional.
No. Form 4868 only extends the filing deadline. Any tax owed is still due by the original due date to avoid interest and penalties.
Yes. The IRS accepts electronic submissions through its e‑file system or via most tax‑software programs.
The automatic extension gives you six additional months, typically moving the deadline from April 15 to October 15.
If you file after the original deadline, the IRS may assess a failure‑to‑file penalty. It’s best to submit Form 4868 on or before the due date.
No. Businesses use Form 7004 for a filing extension. Form 4868 is only for individual income‑tax returns (Form 1040).
State tax extensions are separate. Check your state’s revenue department for the appropriate form.
Including a payment is optional but recommended. If you underpay, interest and penalties may accrue on the unpaid balance.
The IRS does not grant extensions beyond six months for individual returns. You would need to file an amended return after the extended deadline.
