Remember that e-filing will be closed at midnight tonight on October 17. So your return can only by filed by mail if you are past that date.
To use the 2-month extension for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad you will have to file by mail.
You will be allowed the extension if you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien and on the regular due date of your return:
- You are living outside of the United States and Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico, or
- You are in military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico
To use this automatic 2-month extension, you must attach a statement to your return explaining which of the two situations qualified you for the extension. More here.
