And Get 6 Extra Months to File. No reason needed.
For Individuals and Family
Extend your tax filing deadline to October 15 in just minutes. Use FileLater to e-file IRS Form 4868 and get the extra time you need—quickly and securely.
Enter a few basic details—your name, address, and Social Security Number (SSN). Filing jointly? Just include your spouse’s information. No need for W-2s, 1099s, or complicated paperwork. The IRS doesn’t require a reason for an extension, and your information stays safe and secure, shared only with the IRS.
Quickly estimate whether you’re due a refund or owe taxes. Not sure where to start? Our easy tax calculator simplifies the process—many customers use last year’s numbers as a guide. If you expect to owe, you can make a payment right away to avoid interest or penalties, and we’ll help you do it securely through the IRS.
When you’re ready, click submit, and we’ll handle the rest. FileLater securely e-files your Tax Extension Request (Form 4868) directly with the IRS. As an authorized e-file provider, we ensure your data stays safe and your request is processed smoothly. Plus, since we file electronically, you’ll get instant confirmation that your extension has been received.
In most cases, you’ll receive IRS approval within minutes. If your extension is rejected, we’ll tell you why and help you resubmit for free. Most rejections happen due to small errors, like a name or Social Security Number mismatch, so as long as your information is accurate, approval is nearly guaranteed. The IRS calls it an “Automatic Extension” for a reason!
IRS is No Longer Accepting Extensions
Missing the tax deadline can be costly, but filing an extension helps you avoid penalties. The IRS charges a failure-to-file penalty of 5% per month, up to 25% of unpaid taxes. If you’re over 60 days late, the minimum penalty is $525 or 100% of the unpaid tax, whichever is less. A failure-to-pay penalty of 0.5% per month also applies if you don’t pay on time.
A tax extension gives you until October 15 to file, helping you avoid late filing penalties. Get the extra time you need—file your extension today!
