Extensions for Individuals
If you are not able to file your federal individual
income tax return by the due date, you may be able to get an
automatic 4-month extension of time to file. To do so, you
must file
Form
4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File
U.S. Income Tax Return (51K) Adobe PDF, by the
due date for filing your calendar year return (usually April
15) or fiscal year return.
Special rules may apply if you were:
You can also go to Chapter 1 of
Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax (HTML page),
for more information regarding the rules for automatic
extensions and filing federal individual income tax returns.

Remember, however, that a
tax extension is only an extension of time to file
your taxes — it is not an extension of the April
15th deadline to pay estimated federal taxes you owe
to the IRS. You will owe interest and possibly
a Late Payment penalty of 0.5% per month on any
income taxes not paid by the regular due date of
your tax return.
