You need to estimate your tax liability amount when filing extension.

Thank you. What do I put in the AGI question when filing my extension as I haven't submit my 2017 tax return yet?

You can estimate that amount too based on income documents you have for 2017.

Thanks for the fast response. I input my estimate amount and submit the extension. IRS rejected my extension application.

What is the reject code? it should be in the rejection email.

I tried to reply with the reject code but it's not allowed. I will submit extension again with AGI $0. Thanks
