No, extension is for taxes. Money you can't pay needs a payment plan. See Payments

An extension only gives you 6 months to file a tax return. It does not give you an extension to pay the taxes owed.

Go to this IRS website for a payment plan application - https://www.irs.gov/payments/online-payment-agreement-application

An extension does not give you extra time to pay your tax. Your tax due is late if not paid by April 15. An extension only gives you extra time to prepare your tax return and e-file it.
