Is there a difference or penalty for requesting a tax extension?


If no taxes are owed there is no difference or penalty for filing for a tax extension.  The extension gives you an additional 6 months to file the tax return on or before October 15, 2021.

But if taxes are owed they have to be paid on or before April 15, 2021 to avoid a failure to pay penalty.
