I purchased the car before 2025. Maybe around 2015 or 2016. Not sure. and I use my car for business.

I am going to assume you have not been depreciating it since it isn't in your tax records to locate the date. In that case, just an estimate of when you started using it is fine.

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date. Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. See if you need to file a state extension.
