Need more time? Move the deadline to October 15
April 15 is close and your figures are not ready. You can ask the IRS for six more months, and it is granted automatically — you do not have to give a reason. What you cannot do is ask after the deadline has passed.
What an extension does — and what it does not
✓ It does
A complete Form 7004 filed by the original deadline can provide an automatic six-month filing extension for this eligible information package. It does not replace the annual return or postpone a separate tax payment.
✗ It does not
Postpone a tax payment or replace the annual filing. This extension is for the eligible disregarded-entity information package; it does not determine whether you have separate income tax, withholding, state or foreign tax obligations.
How it works
-
1
Order and pay
Your company name and the tax year. That is all.
-
2
Confirm a few details
A short form — no figures needed, because an extension asks for time, not numbers.
-
3
We fax it before the deadline
Same business day when April 15 is close. The transmission confirmation goes to your dashboard as proof.
-
4
We remind you before October 15
The extension is not the filing. We email you ahead of the new deadline so the extra six months do not quietly run out.

An extension no longer helps, but filing late still does.
