File Form 4868 by the regular tax deadline (usually April 15) to receive a 6-month extension for filing your tax return. Important notes:

  • The extension is for filing only, not payment
  • Estimated taxes must still be paid by the original deadline
  • Submit electronically through IRS e-file or mail the form

Late payment penalties apply if you don’t pay estimated taxes by the original deadline.
