Yes. The AGI is only needed if you are making an online tax payment to the IRS. If you did not file taxes last year (or do not have your AGI) and need to make a tax payment, we recommend simply filing your extension online with FileLater and making your IRS tax payment via check. FileLater provides instructions on how to pay by check as part of our step-by-step instructions.

Once you submit your tax extension, it is automatically routed to the IRS for approval. If your application is rejected by the IRS, you’ll have the option to fix any errors and resubmit to the IRS at no additional charge.
If your tax extension is rejected by the IRS, you can fix any errors and resubmit at no additional charge. Please see our articles on the Tax Extension Resources page for more information about filing rules and deadlines for both personal and business tax extensions.
Filing for a federal tax extension is “automatic” which means as long as your information is submitted accurately and on time, you will be approved by the IRS. Note that most rejections occur when personal information does not match IRS records. If you had a recent name change or you moved and the IRS records are different than what you submit, you may be denied and have to resubmit your information before your IRS extension can be approved.
To revoke or cancel an EFW payment, contact the IRS e-file Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537. Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date. If there is a change to the bank account information provided on the return or form, call this number to cancel the scheduled payment. Note that once your extension is accepted, the information pertaining to your payment (such as account information, payment date, or amount) cannot be changed. If changes are needed, your only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method. If a payment is returned by your financial institution (e.g., due to insufficient funds, incorrect account information, closed account, etc.) the IRS will mail a Letter 4870 to the address they have on file for you, explaining why the payment could not be processed and providing alternate payment options. If your financial institution is unable to process your payment request, you will be responsible for making other payment arrangements – you will also be responsible for any penalties and interest incurred. Make sure to contact your financial institution immediately if there is an error in the amount withdrawn.
