If you are a US resident located in the US then the time to file for a 2018 extension has passed.  The extension had to be filed on or before April 15, 2019

However, if you live in Massachusetts or Maine, it is not too late because today, April 17, is your federal filing deadline.

You can also file for state extension in any state with a deadline beyond April 15, 2019, of which there are several.

If you provide your state, we can confirm your state filing deadline.

Unfortunately, you have missed the extension filing deadline of Monday, April 15, 2019. However, if you are receiving a refund, there is no penalty for filing late. If you owe, you need to file both your federal and state tax returns as soon as possible. Late penalties will begin soon.
