My tax liability is 0, so how can I make an extension payment on https://www.irs.gov/payments to get the automatic extension? Does IRS allow a payment of $0?
. So you don't expect to owe any additional 2025 tax? I don't have a way to test the IRS payment tool for $0, but I suspect it may say an amount must be entered. You can always make a nominal payment, say $5 or $10, and if you end up with a tax due when you later file the return, you can enter that amount you paid on the return as an extension payment, and it will take it off your tax bill. Or when you prepare the actual return, if you end up having overpaid, you can get it back in your 2025 refund or apply it to 2026.
