Extension of Time to File
- Must be filed by original due date of return.
- File form 4868 to receive an automatic six-month extension for Form 1040.
- An extension of time to file is NOT an extension of time to pay.
- An extension of time to file eliminates the late filing penalty. If a taxpayer paid at least 90% of the tax owed through withholding, estimated payments, or with Form 4868, the late payment penalty does not apply during the automatic extension period. Interest IS charged on any unpaid balance from the original due date of the return.
