I plan to file extension for 2026 taxes by April 15 2027. I plan to pay in October extension deadline in 2027. Is it possible to pay at that time or even though I plan to file in October I still have to make payment by April 15?

    For a 2026 tax return, any taxes owed must be paid on or before April 15, 2027 to avoid a failure to pay penalty.

    The extension request is only for filing the tax return, not an extension for a tax payment.

    Extensions allow extra time to file, NOT extra time to pay. You need to make timely payments regardless of the extension for the time to file or face potential penalties and interest charges.
