Do I need to file an extension if I'm getting a refund?
by TurboTax•1165• Updated 4 months ago
While you won't receive any late-filing penalties, it's still a good idea to file an extension if you're getting a refund because:
- If you amend your return and end up owing, an extension protects you from the late-filing penalty.
- Some states require that you file a federal extension to get a state extension.
