How do I file for an extension for my business taxes before 12.a.m

Sorry---this is deadline night.  There are no more extensions.   Now you will just be late if you miss the midnight (in your time zone) filing deadline.   If you do not owe or are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.   If you owe, you will be subject to late filing penalties and interest.

And....what kind of business?   Are you a sole proprietor----or do you have a more complex business such as an S-corps or Ccorps?   If so, your filing deadline was September 15 and you have already begun to accrue interest and penalties.

After the midnight e-filing deadline, online tax preparation and e-filing for original tax returns will close down.   You will need to switch to the CD/download and mail in your tax return.

You should have filed for an extension in the beginning of the tax year when the tax return was due.
By April 18 the latest.

October 16 IS the extension.

Taxpayers have until the end of the night Monday to meet the IRS deadline for filing a late tax return.

Those who miss the deadline and requested an extension to file their 2022 tax return could start to incur penalties if they do not get their taxes filed before the clock strikes midnight.

Taxpayers can file their returns up until Monday’s midnight deadline.

That midnight deadline for filing taxes is actually midnight Pacific time, giving many of the nation's procrastinators as much as a three-hour reprieve.

If your business uses a calendar tax year, the deadline to request a filing extension was many months ago.  You are permitted only one automatic extension.
