One more thing I forgot to mention.
After you get the extension faithfully pay your dues on time and keep records.
DO go their website and look for updates and and and--- YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED SINCE IT DOES NOT GET UPDATED AT ALL EVEN AFTER 60 DAYS.
MEANWHILE YOU WILL BE GETTING LETTERS THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT AND NEED 60 DAYS!!
ALSO YOU WILL RECEIVE LETTERS FROM 2 DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS WHO KEEP TRACK OF THE E-filed return without checking anything ( they are helpless as one department does not talk to another).
Also do not bother calling IRS on phone--as you will get a long lecture and the worst is it will tell you there is a 2 hour or 4 hour waiting period OR go to their web site which you have already done.
Hope my long drawn out answer helps you to help yourself effectivel.
Kind regards
