If you're one of the millions of Americans who have procrastinated filing their taxes ahead of the April 15 deadline, there is a way to get some breathing room: File for an extension.
If you're one of the millions of Americans who have procrastinated filing their taxes ahead of the April 15 deadline, there is a way to get some breathing room: File for an extension. The step gives taxpayers until October 15 to file their federal tax returns, and the process is fairly quick â and also free. About 90 million people have filed their 1040s with the IRS as of March 29, the tax agency says. But as it expects about 128.
'Indeed, the IRS says it automatically counts payments made by the April 15 deadline as an extension, and by taking that step, you won't even need to file a separate Form 4868. You can make a payment via the IRS' Direct Pay, the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System or with a credit or debit card or digital wallet. If I get an extension, can I delay paying the IRS? Nope. That's because receiving an extension to file isn't an extension to pay what you owe the IRS.
