How do I file an extension?

Easy options for filing an extension

Option 1: E-file your federal tax extension in minutes with TurboTax Easy Extension

Using TurboTax Easy Extension, you can:

• E-file your federal extension

• Make a payment of any tax due directly from your checking or savings account

• Print a PDF copy of your e-filed extension

• Receive notifications when your extension has been accepted by the IRS

• Get easy instructions on how to file a state extension by mail

Note: Once your extension is approved, you’ll have until October 17, 2017 to file your return. If you’re expecting a refund, it will not be processed until once you have completed your tax filing. If you think you owe, all estimated taxes will need to be paid to the IRS by April 18, 2017.

Option 2: Print and mail your completed IRS extension form

If you’d rather mail your extension directly to the IRS, simply refer to IRS Form 4868: Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, complete and print the form, and send it to the IRS address for your state.

If you owe federal taxes, include your estimated payment with your Form 4868 and mail it—postmarked by April 18, 2017 to avoid any penalties or interest. Then complete and file your return on or before October 17, 2017.
