Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes. If you have an indication that you will owe taxes you should make the payment to avoid additional interest and penalties.
**Say "Thanks" by clicking the thumb icon in a post
Just go to "Forms" view and open Form 4868. Fill it out and send it in.

Please follow the steps below to file the extension:
