How to file an Extension … Form 4868 … Automatic Extension

So you tried as hard as you could, but you could not get your taxes done. Not to worry… They are due today, but there are options !

Form 4868 found here on the IRS website will allow you an AUTOMATIC extension filing.

File this form if you cannot finish your return…not kidding, do not ignore the IRS, filing an extension if much better than going radio silent
If you think you owe, make an estimate and send the funds, if you do owe you may be subject to penalties
Your new deadline is October 15, 20215 … but don’t wait until the last minute…filing another extension is much harder

Thought you might get a kick out this … May feel like it!

Have a Happy Tax Day!
