last year we filled married filing joint, now we are going to file married seperatly, but we both want to fill an extension. what do we do?

Yes, you can both file for extensions.

• The information you will give is on a Form 4868 Application for Automatic Extension of Time
• Included on the Form is your Individual Social Security Number
• Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it does NOT 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

This will give you until 15 October 2025 to file your taxes.

• You can also file a Free federal tax extension here
• You may have to do your state extension
• Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?  

If you owe taxes, you must pay by April 15th.
