📝 Need More Time? Here’s How to File a Tax Extension
If you’re not ready by April 15, you can still file a tax extension using IRS Form 4868, giving you until October 15, 2025, to submit your return.
How It Works:
- Use IRS Free File to complete your tax extension form electronically.
- If you owe taxes, make a payment by Tax Day and select Form 4868 to get the extension.
- Remember: An extension to file is not an extension to pay. Interest and penalties may apply if you miss the payment deadline.
