How do I file an extension

You can file an extension, which will allow you to file until October 15, 2026.

 

This is an extension to file your tax return, not an extension to pay your taxes. You must estimate your taxes due and pay them by April 15, 2026 to avoid penalties and interest.

 

You can use TurboTax to e-file an extension by clicking here.
