Extended Tax Deadline: File for an Extension by October 16th
Important Reminder from the IRS
Three Simple Ways to Request an Extension
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced that the deadline to file federal income tax returns has been extended to October 16, 2023. This extension applies to both individual and corporate taxpayers. The original filing deadline was April 18, 2023.
The IRS Free File program is available for individual tax filers regardless of income. This program allows taxpayers to electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension. If you cannot file your return by the October 16th deadline, you can request an extension using IRS Free File.
There are three ways to request an automatic extension of time to file a US tax return:
- File electronically using IRS Free File
- File Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return
- Call the IRS at 1-800-848-8193
When requesting an extension, you must provide your Social Security number, filing status, and the estimated amount of tax you owe. You do not need to provide any specific reason for requesting an extension.
It is important to note that an extension of time to file does not extend the time to pay your taxes. You are still required to pay any taxes owed by the original filing deadline. If you cannot pay your taxes by the filing deadline, you should contact the IRS to discuss payment options.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to file their returns on time to avoid penalties and interest charges. However, if you are unable to file by the filing deadline, you should request an extension to avoid additional penalties.
