Need more time? Secure an automatic six-month extension to file your U.S. tax return and protect yourself from costly late-filing penalties.
If you are unable to gather all your necessary tax documents by the April deadline, Form 4868 is your safety net. Filing this form grants you an automatic extension, but it comes with specific rules you must follow.
Filing Form 4868 automatically extends your filing deadline from April 15 to October 15, giving you ample time to prepare.
The penalty for filing late is steep (usually 5% of unpaid taxes per month). An extension protects you from this specific penalty.
Crucially, Form 4868 only extends the time to *file*. You must still accurately estimate and pay any taxes owed by the April deadline to avoid late-payment interest.
Because an extension is not an extension to pay, our CPAs provide a detailed estimate of your tax liability. We calculate what you owe so you can submit a payment with your extension, preventing future IRS interest charges.
