Obtain a copy of your W-2 from your employer or estimate the W-2 income from your final paystub in December 2024.

 

Free Federal tax extension is available here.

 

Extension for personal state income taxes here.

 

An extension does not give you more time to pay, it is only an extension of time to file.

Remember that an extension does not give you more time to pay.   You need to pay your tax due by April 15.   The extension only gives you more time to prepare and file your tax return forms.
