Yes, it's best to go ahead and file an extension anyway, for three good reasons:
- If you end up owing (for example, if you corrected an error, forgot to enter a W-2, got a revised 1099 form, etc.) an extension protects you from the late-filing penalty.
- Some states require that you file a federal extension to get a state extension.
- It only takes a few minutes, and it's free!
