As a reminder, if you need to file an extension you can request an automatic extension electronically by April 15. Doing this online is a fast and effective method for achieving an extension. Keep in mind that filing an extension does not allow you to delay your tax payment. When you file your taxes, you’ll need to submit your payment along with your extension if you owe taxes. The extension will give you until October 15 to file your tax return.
