The April 15 tax filing deadline is around the corner. Need extra time? Not a problem. Filing for a six-month extension (until Oct. 15) is an easy option. Bear in mind that filing for an extension will avoid late filing penalties and provide extra time for filing your return, but it doesn’t extend the amount of time you have to pay any taxes you owe. Taxpayers can seek an extension to file by making a full or partial payment of their estimated income tax. To request an extension, submit Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, by April 15. If you have questions, please contact us. © 2025
