An automatic IRS extension for up to six months can be obtained by completing a form 4868 with the Internal Revenue Service, but the extension must be filed by or before the federal due date. Once filled, a 1040 return can be completed anytime within the six-month period. On the Form 4868, you will be asked to estimate your total tax liability.
An extension will give you more time to file your Form 1040; It will NOT give you more time to pay any 2019 tax due. Your estimated 2019 tax due is supposed to be paid by July 15, 2020 or you will be subject to penalties and interest. pay what you can with the extension to mitigate the interest, etc. that you will owe if you cannot pay now.
The other thing you could do is ask for a payment plan with the IRS.
