What Is a Tax Extension and How Does It Work?

A tax extension gives you extra time to submit your completed return to the IRS — typically six months beyond the standard due date. It doesn’t extend the time to pay your taxes, but it prevents late-filing penalties while giving you room to gather documents, verify deductions, or resolve complex issues.

We prepare and electronically file Form 4868 (individuals) or Form 7004 (businesses), confirm IRS acceptance, and estimate your tax payments to avoid penalties or interest.
