An extension gives you extra time to prepare your Form 1040 and file it. It does not give you extra time to pay. Estimated 2024 tax due needs to be paid by April 15, 2025 even if you have an extension to file.

You can file an extension request that will give you an extra 6 months to file the 2024 tax return on or before October 15, 2025. The extension is only for filing a return, it does not give you the extra time to pay any taxes owed. Taxes owed are due and payable on or before April 15, 2025 to avoid a failure to pay penalty.

An extension gives you until October 15, 2025 to file your taxes instead of the tax deadline of April 15, 2025. You must file an extension by April 15, 2025 to get extra time to file your taxes without a penalty. There's no further extension past October 15, 2025.

An extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes, which are due on April 15, 2025. Even if you can't pay your taxes by the deadline, file an extension anyway so you can avoid the late-filing penalty.

You can file your extension at our Easy Extension website, or select your situation for detailed steps.
