How do I request to extend my filing date past April 15? What would my new filing date be?

[Marketstar · Accepted solution]

You would do so by filing a form 4868 which is an application of extension to file your tax return.

This form will give you an automatic 6-month extension of time to file your paperwork. (October 15, 2018) However, if you owe the IRS for 2017, you will be liable to pay your tax by the April 17, 2018  filing date.
