Yes. Our Easy Extension website will allow you to file an extension online. The extension is IRS Form 4868, and that is what you'll be signing and transmitting. Filing the Form 4868 does not transmit any other part of your tax return or any other forms.

You are asked to pay the balance you estimate will be due, as an extension is an extension of time to file your income tax return, it is not an extension of time to pay.
