You are too late to e-file a federal extension request. If you wanted more time -- beyond May 1 -- you should have filed your federal extension request by April 15, 2025. The IRS will recognize your automatic extension to May 1 by the zip code on your tax return. If you are getting a refund or do not owe tax due, there is no penalty if you file later than May 1. If you owe federal tax due, pay by midnight May 1 to avoid penalties.
