Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Tax Extension
How can I get an extension to file my personal income tax return?
You can file Form 4868 to receive an automatic 6-month extension to file your federal income tax return. However, this extension only applies to filing your return—any taxes owed must still be paid by the original deadline.
Which tax forms can be extended by filing Form 4868?
Form 4868 is used to extend the filing deadline for personal income tax returns, including:
- Form 1040 – U.S. Individual Income Tax Return
- Form 1040-SR – U.S. Tax Return for Seniors
- Form 1040-NR – U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return
- Form 1040-PR – Self-Employment Tax Return (Puerto Rico)
- Form 1040-SS – Self-Employment Tax Return (U.S. Territories)
When is the deadline to file a personal tax extension?
The deadline to file Form 4868 for an extension depends on your tax situation:
- For calendar year taxpayers (most individuals), the deadline is April 15, 2025.
- For those living abroad, additional automatic extensions may apply.
What is the perfection period for Form 4868?
If your Form 4868 is rejected due to errors, the IRS provides a limited window to fix and resubmit it. This is called the perfection period, which lasts 5 days from the rejection date. You must correct and refile within this timeframe to avoid penalties.
How can I file a personal tax extension (Form 4868)?
Form 4868 can be filed electronically or via paper mail. However, the IRS recommends e-filing for faster processing and instant confirmation.
Does the extension also apply to tax payments?
No. Form 4868 only extends the deadline to file your tax return—not the deadline to pay any taxes owed. You must estimate and pay your taxes by the original due date to avoid interest and penalties.
Does Form 4868 extend the state tax filing deadline?
Some states automatically accept a federal tax extension (Form 4868) for state tax filing. However, others require a separate state tax extension form. Check with your state’s tax agency for specific requirements.
