I'm filing a 1040 form as dependent

[bryanerazo29]

can I file an extension for tax return?

Yes. You can file for an extension up until 11:59 pm tonight in your time zone. 

An IRS extension gives you until October 16 to file, but it won't give you until October to pay your taxes. Those are still due on April 18.

You can request an extension in any of these ways:

• Search for extend inside your TurboTax program. Then click "Jump to" link and follow the instructions.

• Go the Easy Extension site to e-file your extension; or

• Download Form 4868 from the IRS, print it, fill it out, and mail it by no later than April 18. Complete instructions are on the printout.

Most states issue an automatic extension when a federal extension has been granted.  For information on your state's extension policy, please see the following FAQ:
