How It Works: Filing a Personal IRS Tax Extension

You’re only a few minutes away from extending your tax return filing deadline to October 15thIRS extension. Here’s how to extend your IRS income tax deadline using FileLater to eFile IRS Form 4868, which extends the filing deadline for IRS Tax Forms 1040, 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ, 1040-PR, and 1040-SS.

Step 1:

Provide the personal data the IRS requires for you to file an extension. This includes your name, address, Social Security Number (SSN), and the same information for your spouse if you are married and filing jointly. W-2’s, 1099s, prior year tax returns, and all of those complicated tax forms are not required and the IRS doesn't even ask you for a reason! All of your information is kept safe and secure and not shared with anyone but the IRS, period.

Step 2:

Estimate if you are going to get a tax refund, or expect to owe a tax balance. If this sounds complicated, don’t worry… we make it easy. You can use our easy tax calculator to estimate your situation. Or, many customers simply assume a similar tax situation to last year. If you expect to owe and you want to make a tax payment to avoid potential IRS interest and late payment penalties, we can help you make that payment directly to the IRS via Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) from your bank account — it’s your choice.

Step 3:

Once you submit with FileLater, we will electronically transmit Form 4868 to the IRS for approval. FileLater is an authorized IRS e-file provider which means that your data, and our transmission to the IRS, is safe and secure… so you have nothing to worry about.

That’s all it takes

We'll receive notification from the IRS, usually in a matter of minutes, that your extension was approved by the IRS. If for any reason your extension is rejected, we’ll tell you why, and you can resubmit for free after making any changes. Keep in mind, almost all rejections are caused by a name and Social Security Number not matching IRS records (caused by misspellings, typos, change of name, etc.).  As long as you submit your information accurately and on time, it will be approved  — that’s why the IRS calls it an “Automatic Extension".

Avoid IRS Late Filing Penalties

The penalty for a corporation failing to file a tax return or a tax extension is the same as the standard penalty for individuals with regards to filing an 1120 or 1120-A. In other words, the IRS assesses a penalty of 5% for any unpaid tax for each month the tax return is late, up to a maximum of 25%. If you fail to file either IRS Form 7004 or business tax return by the appropriate filing deadline (March 15th for S Corps, Multi Member LLC's and Partnerships and April 15th for C Corporations), the IRS will charge interest and penalties on any unpaid Federal taxes. If you do not file and you owe tax, the failure-to-file penalty is 5% per month (up to 5 months) of the amount due. If your return is more than 60 days late, you may be subject to a $210 minimum penalty. The IRS will also impose a failure-to-pay penalty of 0.5% per month (up to 25%) of the amount due if you file a return or extension, but don’t pay all your taxes due on time.

If an S Corporation, Multi Member LLC or a Partnership fails to file a tax return or a tax extension, the penalty is $195 PER MONTH, PER PARTNER, LLC MEMBER or SHAREHOLDER for up to 12 months, with additional penalties if the S Corp, LLC or Partnership fails to furnish Schedule K-1s to its shareholders, members or partners.
