How do I file an tax extension as forgot to do by Apr 15, 2018 because of a medical surgery. Please suggest. Thanks.

Unfortunately, you cannot file an extension after the deadline.

Keep in mind, if you are getting a refund, you do not need to file an extension. You have three years from the tax deadline to file your return and claim a refund.

If you are not getting a refund, I recommend filing as soon as possible or at least making a payment to the IRS to minimize penalties and interest.

You can make a payment to the IRS with a check or money order or you can pay directly through the IRS Website here: https://www.irs.gov/payments.
